PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: 6/30/2010: I orchestrated a glamour photoshoot with a young blonde woman named Tara. This girl has a nice personality and looks gorgeous. She took my direction well and acted in a professional manner as my beautiful model and was a good looking subject. I captured her in many poses and portraits with my Canon camera. She wore several colorful tanktop shirts and two pairs of blue denim jean shorts that exposed her great, long legs and butt. She also sported a little black dress. Her face and particularly her steel blue eyes are captured in some of my shots on my photostream. I really liked the style of this university student.The location of this photosession was a historical downtown district in a small town. She posed in front of several old walls and some of the walls were painted unique colors that provide a different, creative look to some of my compositions. The girl also posed in a green tanktop and flipflops in front of a wall of ivy and vegetation. Elsewhere, she posed upon the concrete floor of an outdoor stage and on and around railroad tracks and an old, red train caboose. In some of my pictures, Tara is smiling, and she looks serious, though always sexy, in others. An old, rusty fire escape is utilized for some of the pictures, and a bench and picnic table are used in others.The weather was steamy hot, and the sun was shining during most of the stylish, outdoors shoot. I really enjoy the summer months, and this late June afternoon was really enjoyable as was this fashion shoot. Please let me know what you think by commenting on this photo and giving me your feedback. Do you like this picture? If so, why?????One thing I'd like to be is more creative in my portraits. I think this would be improved through different manipulations in the color of my compositions. For example, I could adjust the saturation and exposure and contrast settings through photoshop or Picnic, and I could do more work in black and white. Otherwise, I could develop more elaborate, stylish themes for my photo sessions. If you can think of an interesting, clever idea for a fun theme, please comment on this picture and tell me your thought because I would love to hear it. Sometimes, I feel worried that my amateur photo shoots are going to fall into a rut as I do roughly the same thing. I would like my photography to evolve into something special with fresh, new energy that people really like. On the other hand, I am still very much new and have pltny to learn. I'm not ashamed of this fact because I am not a professional photographer. I do this as a fun hobby that I would like to take to the next level. Please let me know through comments on my work as to what you like about this picture.If you like this photograph, you may also like this one from Holli's set: www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/4407580842/in/set-7215...
PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: 7-10-2010, I orchestrated a spectacular photoshoot late in the afternoon, with a beautiful young female model named "Anna" in the same location as I have done the Amy, Tara, and the September, 2008, Amber photo shoots. The real name of this special girl is not Anna, but I decided to change her name first for the sake of her privacy, and second to avoid any confusion with another of my subjects from my photostream who shares the same name.Like many of my other outdoor photosessions, I worked in the sunshine, and my brunette subject was professional and wore a variety of gorgeous outfits including a black dress, a cream colored dress, then a black, scoop neck, short sleeve, fitted t shirt and a white short sleeve, fitted top and denim blue skinny jeans. She wears red high heels and sporty brown heels on her feet and is barefoot for others due to our concern that her red heels would take too much attention from the flow of the series of pictures. This woman is relatively tall and has long brown hair. I think she has a pretty good sense of fashion and style. Interestingly, she informed me that she often changes her hair color from blonde to brunette and long and short.I took a series of pictures of her in each outfit. The settings are similar to other photo sessions. I had her pose for portraits on the old red train caboose and railroad tracks. I had her sit, kneel, stand and lay down for portraiture on the stage, the old raggedy fire escape, and in front of several sexy walls some of which are painted in unique colors and one is covered in ivy and vegetation. I also utilized the green grass near the street and had my subject lay in the grass.Please comment on my picture here if you like it. Do you like my photo???If you like this picture of Anna, you may also find another of my models, Carrie, attractive in this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/4778159842/in/set-7215...
Etsy.com is a relatively new (founded in ’05) e-commerce community where one can buy and sell all sorts of handmade items, from garments to home furnishings to original artwork. Their motto is “buy, sell, and live handmade.”Good thing for us, they seem to be fetish-friendly. Recently, there’s been an upsurge of upstart and established latex designers starting shop pages on the site. I’ve compiled a list of pretty much all the latex designers I’ve found plus extra non-latex designers that may be of interest to you.I hope more latex designers will jump on the Etsy bandwagon. We definitely need another alternative to fleabay. The best thing about shopping on Etsy: no more having to drudge through sixty pages of moldy molded gear and PVC or ‘wet look’ spandex crap when browsing.The Latex/Rubber Etsy Shop List:Am Statik (UK – Swindon)Collective CHAOS (USA)Dark Secrets Latex (UK – N.E. England)Essential Latex (Copenhagen)*Fierce Couture (USA – Los Angeles)Hedony Design (France – Paris)Hello Dolly Latex (UK – Sheffield)HH FashionsHMS Latex (France – Paris)*Jacqueline Marie Couture (USA – NYC)Kaori’s Latex Dreams (UK – London)*Kriszta Latex Wardrobe (Hungary)Likorish Latex (UK)Lust Designs (USA – San Diego)*Naucler Design (Sweden)Nimue’s Latex Fashions (USA – CA)Ooh La Latex (UK – London)*Peccatus (UK – London)Spiral Stitching (USA)Vaunt Designs (USA – Philly)Venus Prototype (USA – Los Angeles)Violaceous Latex (UK – Yorkshire)Westward Bound (UK)ZxLatex (UK)Non-latex + miscellaneous shops of interest:Giddyspinster (USA)Joias Organicas (Brazil)MetamorphPlastik Wrap (Canada – Toronto)*Personal recommendations are marked with an asterisk.Some shops were purposely not included in this list because there was no information listed in the profile and/or shop policies page or the garment photos looked like they were taken with a cell phone camera.
PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: 6/17/10: I did a photoshoot with a beautiful blonde young woman at the park and at a school. The sunshine and heat and wind was brutal, but I still have some good shots of this girl to post. She makes a good model for me, and I hope to use her again sometime in the future.Carrie is a super and sexy young woman to work with and I hope that you will like my pictures as I intend to post a lot of new photos in the near future. This girl wore some sundresses, a little black dress, and two tanktops with denim jean shorts such as here. She really has a beautiful smile and a great figure and long legs and pink toe nails. All in all, she is ready for summer and I particularly like to create new pictures in the summertime.Here, I am struck by her big, gorgeous blue eyes and her long legs and matching black high heels on her feet plus the colorful, summery pink and black dress and her perfect figure. I think she is good enough to work with again in the future.Please let me know what you think about this new photo. Do you like this shot?If you like this model, you may also like Amber. I took this photo of this model 2 autumns ago and really like it. Please let me know if you like it as well: www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/2828967655/

PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: I had a really fun photoshoot on 6/29/2010 in a historic neighborhood which is similar to my Amy photoshoot. So here is the newest girl who let me take her picture. She is a pretty female with a sexy sense of style and she looks great here in her little black dress. The name of this beautiful young blonde woman model is Tara and she did a great job posing for my camera for all kinds of portraits. I hope you enjoy my most recent work.If you like this picture, you may also like this photo of Carrie, another gorgeous blonde model:www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/4726302579/
PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world."I really like the capture of the beautiful profile of this sexy model in this portrait. Of course the eyes and face and expression and the white shirt in contrast to the train tracks and the ground are also things I like about this picture. Her lips are really what caught me in this shot. I really like the capture of the beautiful blue eyes of this sexy model in this portrait. Of course the neck and face and expression and the white shirt in contrast to the train tracks and the ground are also things I like about this picture. This girl is posing outdoors in the autumn for my last outdoor photoshoot of 2009. I hope that I got some good shots that people like. I enjoy her facial qualities and her hair plus the lines of the railroad ties and tracks in contrast to her arms and curves of her body. She is very talented and a smart young woman.Please let me know what you think of this picture.If you like this photo and the neck on this model and the way she holds up her head you may also like this photo:www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/2696647249/
PhotoAmateur1 posted a photo: This girl majored in Psychology at the same university I got my degree so we are fellow alumni, and I hope she makes it big as a model someday because I think she has the looks and talent to succeed.I really like the capture of the beautiful legs of this sexy model in this portrait. Of course the gorgeous body and face and expression and the black dress and skin color in contrast to the train tracks and the ground are also things I like about this picture. I like her black dress although you cannot see much of it in this one. I think it's nice that she is smiling and her long legs and black high heels are cool in this one.If you like this photo of Amy, you may also like this photo of another model from my photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/27127986@N03/4580581518/in/photostr...
