There’s always a first time for something. This time it was the way of obtaining a new model – asking a random person I’ve never met before on the internet. This is not how I usually do things, as everyone who has modelled for the project has previously been a friend of mine or a friend of a friend. Thus approaching a random stranger on the internet was a huge leap for me.
As I’m studying journalism and work for a local newspaper, I could call myself somewhat competent in analysing people through the text they produce. That, or I’ve been really lucky with my guesses – as I was now. After approaching Tii, she agreed to model for the project at the same instant.
As we’re both hard-working people, it’s always a challenge to find a mutually available day for shooting, thus it took weeks to arrange the photoshoot. But that’s perfectly fine, as we got to know each other better and we got some great ideas which I believe greatly improved the end results.
We discussed the idea of “normal life” thoroughly. To be honest, not many people wear neon green net shirts nor do they have colourful hair – but it’s normal to the model itself, as she does it on a daily basis. Thus I found it extremely suitable for the project; who am I to define “normal”?
The shooting day’s weather was somewhat unstable to say the least. After choosing the perfect clothing options together (well okay, Tii did it all) we drove ourselves to Tampere’s centre to return the latex clothing I had borrowed from Tiina Rikala almost two years ago. Yeah, it’s been that long. I’m a slacker.
When we got ourselves to Tampere’s market square, someone put the faucet on. Rain was pouring all over with no end in sight. We sought cover beneath a nearby large tree, but even that wasn’t enough after the rainfall got heavier. We were drenched all over. Tii, who was wearing a latex catsuit at the time, didn’t mind that much, but I was not that fortunate and smelled of wet wool for the remaining day. We managed to run to a nearby church, where a wedding ceremony was about to start. Luckily the rain did not last for that long so we avoided crashing the party whilst wearing latex.
Heh. That would’ve been a sight.
After carefully finding our way through the freshly-formed ponds around Tampere’s market square, we proceeded to have a lunch at a nearby diner and really got our flow going by discussing Pokémon in an adult manner. Yes, that’s a thing. Don’t judge us!
Besides not knowing her beforehand, Tii’s also a curious character, as she already owns few pieces of latex – unlike any other model of the project. The most noticeable one being a cocktail dress made by Tiina Rikala. As a rare opportunity such as this dawned upon the project, of course we shot with the beautiful dress, too.
As usual, behind the scenes and outtake photos will be released in a few days – with a video. I finally got myself an image-stabilized lens!

One of the best shot ever !!!
Hey Tuomas.
Just wanted to congratulate you and all your models for this very nice and smart project. As a latex amateur, I really enjoy watching girls wearing this material as a non erotic clothing as you say. All videos and photos we find on the web are “sex” or fetichism” related but to me, your gallery is just the kind of picture I wanted to see. Really good job and keep on going.

Another superb shoot, and brilliant to find a new model in such a way. She looks great. Is that a different catsuit for later on, or did you doe something to the feet? Early shots the catsuit has feet in it – was the returned? And a beautiful cocktail dress of hers! Great work again
Well, there happened an unfortunate tear. The shoes chafed against the catsuit’s leg parts thus breaking ’em. Before we went swimming, we cut off the torn off parts from the ankles to prevent further tearing.
My god,them two models are beautiful.
What a fantastic project. I have a wish though. Is it possible to provide at least some of the pictures in a larger resolution? I ask because the combination of gorgeous nature plus tasteful latex makes some shots my idea of the dream desktop wallpaper, if only the picture were large enough.
Regardless, thanks for the work, and keep the passion)
At the age of modern publications and free distribution around the world, I believe that the best way to preserve the images’ value is to limit the available resolutions set out to public. This also helps preventing any unlawful commercial use of my images so people won’t be printing and re-selling them etc. – this is way too common nowadays.
And as the high-res images of my photos are an extremely rare sight, this preserves the original images’ value. This means that the prints I’ll be most likely selling in the future, will be more unique and not mass-produced. I’m all for the free distribution of interesting works, but at the same time I have to keep an eye in the future.
In other words, the current situation is somewhat a compromise. I want to give everyone the opportunity to see my work, but I don’t want to see it in any other context than I’ve given it; I’ve had to fill dozens, perhaps even hundreds of DMCA copyright claims because my work has been copied to sites containing rather vulgar material without my permission. But then again, I don’t want to make my watermark any larger either – that would ruin the images.
If you’re interested in the prints, though, feel free to contact me via e-mail.
This is so beautiful Tuomas. Your creativity and natural talent never cease to impress me – love from Libidex!
Hey Tuomas,
I hate to have to say this but I think youve forgotten the intentions you got at first when you started this series.
You were trying to incorporate latex into ‘normal’ fashion etc.. But pictures like this are exactly like the ones the fetish people make, the flashy colours and the extremely high heeled boots are something to attracted attention I think. I loved the work where it was more subtle and incorporated with other fabrics and other footwear that’s not so much linked to the fetish culture.
It’s just my opinion,
a somewhat dissappointed admirerer of your work.
Honest feedback is always welcome, don’t worry about that!
For this project we originally thought that the style Tii is wearing is normal to her; even though it is nearing the “ordinary” fetish themes, it’s not fetishy to Tii at all. It’s just everyday for her.
I do understand where you’re coming from, so don’t worry – not all the parts will be like this. I like to vary the styles.
I would like to say, it is the beautiful woman. That makes latex outfits look so great.
Because of my job. I can not go out in public wearing my latex fashion.
During the summer. My girls get together around my pool. All in latex style.
It is a full week-end of fun and frolic.
When it gets to cold. The party is a blast indoors.
Beautiful girl right there!
