Pantyhose, stockings and black and white fetish photography. Part I

By removing distracting or unnecessary colours Black&White photography shifts accents and draws your attention towards other aspects or meanings. Black&White thinking is different.

So is B&W fetish photography. If you want to make accent on hosiery, you have to use either high contrast (e.g. stripes, fishnets, back seams) or well pronounced texture. You have only 256 “grey colours” in your palette. Gentle shades of sheer skin-coloured pantyhose will not be visible. But black full-fashioned stockings is a completely different story.

Many thanks to Dietmar Rogacki (Google+) who collects beautiful b&w photos from all over the Internet.

See 24 photos below.

Pantyhose and stockings with back seams. Part II

See Part I.

It’s amazing how a simple straight line can change the whole appearance.

It should not be even built into the nylons, it can be drawn with a marker (see Cheshire pantyhose), just like what women did 60 years ago when they had no money for stockings, but, of course, could not go out “bare legged”.

See 12 photos below and upload yours in the Pantyhose and stockings with back seams forum thread.

Fetish, bondage, art, French maids and politics. Part V

See Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV.

French maids are irreplaceable not only in hotels. And not only in self-bondagers dreams, fetish art, bondage comics, vintage erotic photography and role plays.

But also in the dirty political games. Remember Dominique Strauss-Kahn who (with some little help from a French maid) was very effectively removed from the chair of the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and from the list of president candidates? Or Arnold Schwarzenegger’s family?

French maids can be nasty, dangerous and yet addicting. They can ruin your career and family, but also can bring some interesting minutes you will remember all your life. (You decide good or bad 😉 )

Paraphilias, sexual fetishes, normality, deviations and men vs women

Have you ever asked yourself (or someone else? wow… ) questions like:

  • I love wearing pantyhose? Am I normal?
  • Women (men?) in swimsuits, shiny stockings and high heels drive me crazy? Is it curable?
  • Has anybody tried to give up his/her latex addiction? I can’t live with it anymore.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

OK, as always, let’s go step by step. We will not focus on “why”, but rather on “what” and “how”.

Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009 ” in Utrecht – Part III. Fashion show. “Attitude Holland”

See Part I and Part II.

Publishing the third part before I forget about it for two more years 😉

These 22 photos are from the Gothic/fetish/lolita fashion show by Attitude-Holland. What I specifically like is the wetlook lycra. It also reminds me the “other” matte side of latex sheeting. This is the material I would like to have leotards, swimsuits and zentai suits made from!

Anybody can win a place in the fashion show in the following categories: fetish, gothic, lolita, burlesque/pin-up, emo or whatever the organizer/manufacturer invents. All models are from “the real public”. You can check on the website who won this year.

Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009” in Utrecht – Part II

See Part I

Two moments.

First. It took me two years to return to this event and finally sort and process the photos I made there. (There will be one more part). And today (what a coincidence!) I’ve been to the Summer Darkness festival again.

Second. It too me five years to figure out why my vivid photos look so flat and lifeless on the website. And the reason is … oh…. this is soooo embarrassing… wrong colour space!

Now I have to either reprocess all the published photos again, or leave them as they are. I will probably redo only the posts I was going to rewrite/reformat anyway. In this set there are pictures in both sRGB and AdobeRGB spaces.

Black and white sensual stories. Andy Julia photography

Why can’t I just repost a photo or a drawing I stumbled upon on tumblr, facebook, *chan or various forums and shut up? Why am I so curious that I begin to search the source, who the author is, what else he/she does? Why do I spent my time and energy to compose these messages which nobody reads, cares of or gives me money for? Yeah, demotivated again…

OK, some useless details you do not want to know anyway. The author is Andy Julia, a freelance photographer from Paris. Books, exhibitions, on-line and off-line galleries… All that stuff you can find on his website Andy Julia Photography, isn’t it what it was created for?

And the reason why I bothered with typing is that these photos “work“. I would like to be in these clothes, these situations, “to touch and feel”. These moody photos tell stories and … motivate my imagination

What is the fetish sport #1? Roller derby or girls in fishnets and men in shiny pantyhose

Long-long-long time ago I stumbled upon a photo of a girl in tight jeans shorts, shiny skin coloured pantyhose and in-line skates. That photo (made by Boris Fomin, who later became Olga Fomina, yes, you guessed correctly) was the beginning of another big fetish of mine: skating in roller roller blades and shiny pantyhose. (Didn’t I mention this story before?)

Unfortunately, not many skate in pantyhose and let others take and publish photos of them.

Fortunately, there is a sport, where not only girls (who always wear pantyhose, usually fishnets but also coloured or mixed tights) but even boys can show up in shiny pantyhose.

See the photos and art below and visit the dedicated forum thread: Another fetish sport: Roller Derby? (Thanks to Culmor!)

Blue Self-bondage Session 51. Part I. Zentai and fishnet tube

Self-bondage in zentai and fishnet tubeIt was one of the hotel selfbondage sessions when I had absolutely no plan and was trying to understand what I could do with a falling apart zentai suit and a new fishnet tube.

I was wearing the following (see photos below):

Blue spandex fishnet tube for self-bondage

Blue zentai and blue fishnet encasementAfter seeing photos with nylon tube encasement and mummification I finally decided to buy one for myself (blue, of course) and try to figure out what I can do with it.

Errmm… Not much. You can get in and tie both ends shut. And that’s basically it, unless you are ready to destroy the fishnet tube after the first self-bondage session.

See 8 photos below (shown with this blue zentai suit).

Do you have any other ideas?
