As usual, I didn’t really do much location scouting before. I’ve been in this specific bowling alley once before, but at the very opposite side of the hall – so I had no idea whether there was actually a wall or a service walkway next to us when I booked the lane.
Unfortunately it was a wall, and I was not able to shoot from the frontside of Leila in action. Boo!
But when a challence arises, we make do with what we have. Taking casual and candid photos from real life, you really can’t stop everything and take the exact perfect frame that the eye of your mind sees.
This was, after all, casual latex in everyday life in its truest form. No faking here.

Did you wear latex too, Tuomas?
Wow. Again. Your pictures are brilliant but the credit goes to Leila for looking so amazing. Gotta be a bit warm spending a night bowling in a rubber suit! And it’s no wonder she was leading – she’s gotta be a big distraction looking that good! How did other people react? Brilliant stuff, as usual, Tuomas!
We got a few looks, but not that many. Mostly people were curious of the process of photography and the presence of a “big” professional camera.
I think these came out quite well actually!
These are really stunning photos, congratulations and thank you for posting them. Appreciate the work that went into meeting the lighting challenge. Leila is, of course, beautiful and so natural in that setting.
Very beautiful photos – thank you so much for sharing! Even if the location was a challenge for the you, the photos look great. And, if it gives you any consolation, I suck at bowling – so I probably would have lost, too.
