Sadly, I’ve lost home internet, and won’t be hooked up again until Tuesday. This has caused quite a delay in my updates on various sites. This shoot turned out fantastically though, and I wanted to share it on the blog with the others.
In the beginning I had doubts this would work. I was so excited for another collaboration with Electra Designs, and had booked two models to each wear a corset. The corsets are both similar, and the models were to look similar. I set out and bought props, and accessories, and was ready to go when one of the models backed out. I know this isn’t true of some places I’ve lived (like LA), but I’ve found that here, there are a large number of local models that claim to be models, but don’t really take it seriously. This leaves you sans a model at a very inopportune time! (yes, models even cancel on people like me!) Frustrated, as I had had a string of these incidences from Texas models, I decided to wait and see how this shoot would pan out.
When Eidolona arrived in town my fears subsided. She had an extra day in Houston, and I took her around Montrose for fun, and we picked up some last minute wardrobe pieces. The day of the shoot became hectic when I fell ill, and on a whim we managed to get MUA Summer Koonce. Summer did a fantastic job, and Eidolona did not disappoint! Eidolona gave me such a huge range of poses in these outfits, I was ecstatic with her work. She set a record: I pulled 95 shots from our shoot that were totally usable. I had such difficulty editing down the set, I summoned the help of 2 people to get me to my final choices. Honestly, there are some I wish I had included instead of others…and I hope to (at some point, given time) make contact sheets of the remaining images.
Here is the whole set as chosen for your viewing pleasure:
I’m very much hoping I get the chance to work with Eidolona again in the future!
I shot one of these corsets once more with model Leigh James. Those images will be making an appearance quite soon. Stay tuned!
