Description Model is (I think her dimensions in this corset are 36-20-36...)

I was talking with a friend about photographing corsets (how to best represent them visually, etc) for a website. And, since I had a model coming who can tight-lace I thought it'd be good to do an experiment or two. In this case I wanted to contrast the amplified corset-curves with the linears in the column. It's not a good shot for a commercial purpose, though, because you really can't get any appreciation for the details in the corset.

Lighting: gridded spot on backdrop, large octodome camera right.

Wow, *gob smacked* - she is stunning, the corset is beautiful, and this is SO well taken.
I've been wanting a corset like this for a long time but don't really know where to look for anything under £50 - any ideas?

You should ask :icondepressedescapist: - she's really into corsets.

Another great shoot .....

Not to take away for this beautiful model (In case your doing a series) - Another model that you might want to get a shot with a corset would be Nicotine

Nicotene would be great!

I'm not doing a series. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be doing the corset stuff at all. So this was just goofing around.

I think that you're being harsh on yourself. Sure the picture isn't coverworthy, but that is only because it doesn't show the corset well enough. If I was compiling a catalogue I'd look at using the shot as a filler or perhaps to introduce the underbust lines.
Now getting beyond that, I really like the shot. It's simple, elegant and flatters the model and the corset, assuming that you're trying to sell corsets!
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

True; it'd make a good decorator or filler.

Thanks!

WANT.

I LOVE the corset! I have a corset that gives me a pretty narrow waist, but nothing as teensy as that! Not that I couldn't, I've practiced keeping them tight and I have a naturally pretty small ribcage (lucky me)... just my current corset doesn't lace up that small. I need one that goes that tight!

I wore my corset out clubbing a couple months ago... it was HAWT. *looks for photos*

What was really hard was holding her down and getting the corset on her while she struggled to get free and escape.

I lol'd. Actually, to be more specific, I laughed, then snorted, then choked and squirted juice out my nose.

This is how sick I am.

When I saw the title of this piece, I HAD to click on it, just to verify that Mr. Ranum here wasn't the tester of said corset.

That's something I truly never wish to see, and yet I clicked on the link like some pavlovian photo fiend.

I need more scotch in my diet.

Considering that I've already threatened to post a shot of my own hairy butt (in response to those who want photos of 'real people' instead of beautiful models) -- there are worse things than corsets...

you're safe!

Well, this is just a fetishapalooza, now isn't it?

Corset, shoes, black hosiery . . . oh my!

There does seem to be a bit of structural awkwardness happening in her right shoulder area from the pose---makes that arm look almost detached. It is the straps pulling down?

Such a wonderfully curvy composition otherwise. Beautiful girl, and perfect for a corset.

Well, the alternative---arm up, hand in hair---would've been a little too cliche, I think. Everything else is so stunningly perfect it's a little visually distracting is all.

But this is all just picking at nits. What I really want to know is how to meet her!

As always - you capture the most erotic essence of a scene.

And I am not sure what the rules are of a corset test - but I am assuming she passed with flying colors?

Well done, Sir,
