Let’s share session 299-02, fully reposted in a single archive : you will get the pics previously added and commented on ILFG. I also included one black & white folder + the classic version (SD), which contains more shots than a selection of my favorites released in premium quality.

PHOTO SERIES

That day, Amélie discovered multiple restraints simultaneously being bound and gagged … do you like latex catsuit, strict corset, rope bondage and ball-gag harness ? Enjoy ! This series has been shot during a cool afternoon focused on rope bondage.

After a japanese style set, I decided to work with nylon ropes. We took the catsuit to hide the ropemarks from the previous session and, of course, it was a good idea because Amélie looks nice dressed in latex. I had no photo assistant on this shooting, only one guest who visited us.

At this period, Antoine Savalski wasn’t a rope artist yet, he was only one of my followers on social media. He was curious to know more about my work and I had in mind to teach him some tips for another collaboration. But, because Amélie didn’t know him, I managed the ropes alone to avoid any problem with my model.

I haven’t used nylon ropes since a long time but the result wasn’t so bad. It was looking good even if my ropes were moving on the latex catsuit which was slippery. That’s why I used an unusual figure for the breast bondage.

I increased the restraint by adding a muzzle-gag harness : an amazing ball-gag under the leather panel which gives a unique look to the tied girl. I do bet you appreciate seeing Amélie like this … you can imagine her feeling about the situation : comfortable but inescapable !

As you can guess from the preview picture, Amélie was tied to the wall. She was exhausted in the end … the heat was high in the photo studio and Amélie was sweating into her latex catsuit. But we had a nice time and decided to explore heavy rubber and total enclosure within the future.

So, the latex catsuit was perfect to hide the ropemarks due to our previous set : Amélie has been suspended before to be tied like a puppet with several ropes around her arms. I was shooting less in front of my white wall but, in February, I did my sessop, with Miss Eskarina and the contrast between this background & some black latex clothes made me think it would be nice for Amélie.

We added one PVC corset made by Deadly Girlz to accentuate the waist & curves of my model, giving a different style to the outfit with this mix of textures. I shot several pin-up pictures for Amélie but my picky mind couldn’t be satisfied by the difference of tones between the wall & my floor. That’s a detail but it encouraged me to focus on tighter framing … after so many years of shooting at home, I knew portrait photography was a good idea when there is one model in my studio.

Because the suspension had drained some of her energy, I tried to offer one comfortable position to Amélie. Nylon rope was slippery on the latex catsuit forcing me to make some choices about my ropework : I didn’t try to compress Amélie’s breast but to emphasize it, using two different vertical axes to hold the ropes in position.

One knot has been added to the length going down on her crotch … new feeling for Amélie who wasn’t familiar with this kind of tie. It could be looking a bit weird but, yes, I didn’t bind the french pin-up like some other girls : maybe because she had one strict limit never showing her intimacy & always wearing some lingerie.

That day, she got a crotch rope over her silk pants before this set … I didn’t find any previous attempt : it was maybe her first time but this is unsure. As usual, my mind is blurry because there are a lot of memories in this decade of another life. If my members enjoyed discovering Amélie bound while she was wearing a latex catsuit & this tight corset, they loved the use of a muzzle gag !

Surprisingly, your favorite brunette has always accepted to be gagged since the beginning of our collaboration : when some girls didn’t want to try one simple ball-gag, Amélie played the game as the perfect Damsel in Distress. One year before this session, she discovered the ball-gag harness for our pin-up photo series 277-02.

If the muzzle gag is more efficient & impressive, Amélie agreed to experience it. Because there was no photo assistant that day, we have no capture of this moment. One of my contacts on Flickr was in the room to see how I worked but he had not enough experience to gag Amélie. In the past, that’s another woman who was in charge of this action but Anaïs has not been replaced as model assistant.

So, I equipped Amélie with the harness leaving her all the time to take this blue ball hidden under the leather panel. Amélie discovered this unique feeling of being gagged & sealed … you can guess she’s learning how to manage this restraint on my pictures. I quickly shot because Amélie was tied for a while standing up on her high heel shoes.

It took only five minutes, probably because we prepared the muzzle gag before : each head is different, you can save a lot of time if you try the harness & arrange the length of each strap. I left my camera briefly to slip one nylon rope in this ring located on the top of her harness.

My model was looking wonderful but also totally helpless in such a situation … some of these shots are among my all-time favorites : what do you think about the final pictures ? This harness was perfectly sized for Amélie’s face : the position & tension were looking good for each strap even near the eyes, a problematic area with this kind of ball-gag.

I always loved the visual aspect of a muzzle gag but, unfortunately, it was impossible to find a quality one in France. When Rachel Paine brought her own, made by the legendary Ledermeister, my fetish increased & I tried to find one manufacturer in Europe.

One year later, James Bertoni suggested to me one man who was very friendly : he sent some samples from leather straps to balls in different sizes … it allowed Anaïs & I to try the best combinations before ordering several ball-gags including some harnesses for our sessions. The quality wasn’t as good as LederMeister’s creations but we were close … I requested some adjustments to Heiko who made his best for the comfort of my models.

Strangely, I didn’t use these gags enough : our shooting days were long & only a few girls love to be gagged. So, most of the time, I had the tendency to keep their mouths free to smile or speak while they were strictly tied in my ropes. That day, we planned to test the muzzle gag with Amélie and I am sure you like to watch her lovely face trapped in the leather harness.

CONCLUSION
any question ? leave a comment !

I imagine this photo series became popular because the mix between latex & ropes was well balanced. We always had good shooting days with Amélie but after Anaïs left the team on October 2007, we got closer and she supported me in this delicate period of reorganization.

Like Mina, Amélie became more involved in our sessions : each of them understood the difficulties I was beginning to encounter with my websites. It was in 2008 and 2009 that we were able to hold our photo series more regularly. Even if I was shooting less often, Amélie participated in their development, becoming an emblematic figure of my work, with Mina at the same period.

Beyond the pressure due to some economical reasons, I didn’t find one right way to create another circle around me … I tried to work with several people but it was complicated to get back the dynamics of the past with my friend Alain & a model’s assistant like Anaïs or Dana before.

Setting up the schedule had become difficult due to everyone’s availability, which caused a reduction in the number of sessions. Fortunately, Amélie & Mina were more available than before and we decided to focus on quality vs quantity. It took me a while before to understand the best option was shooting alone with my model but that’s another story.

It’s time to watch Amélie bound & gagged, breathing slowly because of this leather panel on her mouth or the tight corset … do you think she was sweating a lot in her latex catsuit after one hour under the spotlights ?

  1. That´s an awesome photoset. Amélie looks gorgeous in black latex and ropes (and helpless of course). All shiny and reflective all over her curves. And her face covered by that muzzle gag looks beautiful.
    Thank you!
