Last week I did the long-awaited photo shoot of my latex acts-Fetish Nun and the newest Fetish Snow White- with
Lucy La Riot in Williamsburg! Her studio is on Lorimer Street and is SO cute. Painted pink with black accents and an original black metal tin ceiling, filled with all kind of props and wardrobe to choose from. I met Anna (the person behind LLR) at the Burlesque Idol show a couple months ago when I was one of the guest judges. I was already familiar with her name, because I saw the online photos of a few other performers and thought they were really good. But beyond being good LLR's pin-up style has a modern, contemporary quality to it that is refreshing to my eyes and sensibility. Many of them look like they could be a part of a print ad campaign. Lighting, in particular, is a major thing for me since Asian features are flatter than Western features so we require a bit more "light sculpting" than another face that has more geographic hills and valleys. We used real flames from my Bible prop, and real baby oil, also a real element of the Snow White act when I perform it. So that ain't no Photoshop!
I loved the way she lit these two shots that we did and how it all turned out. I'll be posting a few more as they trickle in. You can find
LUCY LA RIOT on Facebook - totally check out her work if you are looking for a great photographer to give you a naughty or nice pin-up boudoir shoot or yourself or a bachelorette party.
If you love these images, please share and credit the photographer and myself. Artists work for peanuts in NYC-getting a credit for our work is usually our payment.
All latex clothing seen here were made by
KLAWTEX. Shoes by Melissa. Cervin hosiery.
I don't have a video of my Snow White act yet, but the Nun act is pretty old. I have a clip of it from 2013 at
Red Herring's show REVEAL in Toronto, ON.
