Pregnant in Latex?
There’s been some pretty major changes and news in our lives as of late – and pretty much all of it stems from the fact that we’re having a baby!
For the second time.
These happy news have included pretty big changes, obviously. One of the biggest day-to-day changes is that we found a new, more active home for our wonderful horses, as Leila simply can’t handle the work, nor is it safe.
I miss those big buggers, though. Nobody’s greeting me with a bassy, diesel-engine-like neigh these days when I open the door to my office in the stables.
But, on the other hand, we won’t have to handle the daily dose of horse poop in freezing weather. Nor having the horse smell stick to our latex, also stored in my office in the stables.
After few weeks of deep-cleaning, we were left with a large, well-insulated indoor space that used to be the stables. First of all, we parked our motorcycles there, so that they won’t freeze their butts of.
With the remaining space we built a studio.
And what would be a better place to start than a proper maternity shoot with our quite pregnant Leila in latex.
So let’s start.
Welcome to our new concept of Project L; Studio Sessions.
In latex.
Of course.
Around this time we’re pretty much exactly half-way through.
Well, Leila is. I’m not carrying anything like that in my belly, unless we’re counting that yogurt I ate for breakfast.
With a studio shoot, the most important thing – and the most challenging one – is to have varying poses in order to keep the shoot interesting.
This is perhaps the reason that I haven’t done studio shoots that much, and have followed Project L’s more documentary style.
And, let’s be frank, it has nothing to be done whether studio shoots can be interesting, quite the opposite – it has more to do with me taking the “easy” way; studio shoots are pretty hard to keep interesting.
People who manage to do interesting studio shoots after one other have my utmost respect.
But let’s break the fourth wall a little, and see how the studio was setup.
As you can see below, we’ve got two thin softboxes, also known as striplights, to enhance the shape of latex.
Two different sizes to keep some “imperfection” in the shoot, to have the reflections be just a little less symmetrical; to have a human part in the technical aspect.
The main source of light, the key light, is a round softbox above Leila, to give off that smooth finish – and to have a round reflection in her eyes.
There could be a million ways to improve the lighting, a million ways to create more reflections, to enhance the shapes of latex further.
But for this purpose, I wanted to have the texture and colour of latex as visible as possible. I’m pretty happy with the result.
Now let’s bring in the chairs!
What would a traditional studio photoshoot be without chairs.
Nothing!
By the way, I’m obsessed with chairs – especially with chairs in studio shoots. They have so much to say about the model, about the whole vision of the photoshoot!
These chairs aren’t the perfect chairs I wished for.
But they’re pretty okay for the purpose of being a chair in a photoshoot, which in itself is saying a lot.
I wrote a whole lot about chairs on Project L’s Patreon, and I wrote a whole lot more about the behind the scenes and planning of the photoshoot there – so if you’re interested in what’s going on in the background, and want to see some exclusive content, feel free to support our little latex art project.
Alright, that’s enough advertising.
For now.
Just look at Leila channeling her inner Michelle Pfeiffer in Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise. On a black Ikea chair. As is intended.
Here we go again, breaking the fourth wall with our little collection of motorcycles.
In fact, we had ordered a new catsuit for Leila to match her new metallic blue 1000cc motorcycle, but we had to cancel the order due to, you know, pregnancy and changing shapes all.
We’ll get that right on track after Leila’s body has recovered – and after we have any time to do anything. You know, taking care of a baby might take some time from Leila’s latex modelling schedule.
But only just a little.
And here we arrive to to the end of the photoshoot.
I don’t know if it’s coincidental or what, but these last four photos are my absolute favourites of the photoshoot. Scroll down to look at them.
