These are the behind the scenes and outtake photos of Project L: Part 17 – The dark autumn.
As I told before, it was really, really cold out there.
We mislocated a latex glove during the photoshoot, thus there are so many gloveless photos. Better order an another pair from Libidex. They’re not that expensive, but it’s always sad to lose something you could’ve not lost.
I’ve also been planning to order a new catsuit, but currently I can’t afford it. My car required immediate repairs and I had to invest the money there. Sigh.
Perhaps one day I’ll get even with the project on the monetized viewpoint. Or obtain a sponsor. Either way, I will still publish photos whenver I can, just because I love doing this.
Ps: The next Project L will be shot on next Saturday.
You should get paid for doing this, best latex site ever and free!!
Really like these outtakes, even better than the originals!
Perhaps some sort of donation system would be clever, i’m sure many would want to give some
money and thus help out a bit!
thanks anyway, really dig this project!!
Even though I would love to accept donations, the Finnish legislation does not allow it. And as I’m a citizen of Finland, I must abide by these laws.
What I could do would be a kickstarter of some sorts and offer e.g. bigger resolution images, copies of small prints for the smaller participants and bigger for those who would want them. But that’s just silly and would most likely cost me plenty of my time. And time is money.
As far as I’ve understood, though, the Finnish legislation does allow asking for clothing/item etc. donations, but I haven’t found an user-friendly way to do that.
There’s nothing against receiving gifts/money – but it’s just that in Finland nobody can ask for donations without a donation campaing permit, which a) costs money b) is only possible to a limited set of institutions. Even if you only write a bank account number publicly on the pages without any comments, it can be interpreted as “asking for donations” (iirc there was a such case with some sports club). Actually, it didn’t take long to find a suitable postal address – assuming the Trade Register has up-to-date information – if I wanted to send a gift in a letter…
Just to be on the safe side, if somebody happens to read the previous comment later: if the value of the gift(s) exceeds 4000 euros (once, or the sum of gifts within three years), the recipient has to declare the gifts to tax authorities and they have pay “gift tax”. For non-relatives the tax is now 100 euros + 21 % on the value exceeding that 4000; for even bigger sums the percentage grows higher. The total is calculated individually for each “giver-receiver-pair”, however. This is to avoid circumventing income taxes or inheritance taxes.
What a pitty only one or two fotos of her in the long boots.. ;-( ;-) Keep up the good spirit. Would like to see my girlfriend in that combination too ;)
I adore the “contrast” between “normal life” and latex. That’s so exciting !
He, I would like to express my praise for your site. Not just this gallery but all your work in general. The urban shots, the shots in actual peoples homes, it’s all very endearing to see and it strikes me with a sense of admiration for what your doing.
Of part 17 for example, I find the shots in the mall really cool as it shows the kind of casual behaviour and attire.
As for the comments of some others, who praise your work and also you for publishing it for free, they are right. It’s outlandish to see so many high quality images on such a topic for free and I deeply respect your approach to the topic.
Best of luck with all your future endeavours.
