THE KINK CASTLE PART I

Ann and I attended a party at the Kink Castle. The drinks were flowing, there was a buffet, live entertainment, and a tour. We found ourselves in the interrogation room where I met Sonya (I think that was her name) and her friend. Sonya was Russian and spoke little English. Somehow we wound up doing an impromptu photoshoot. I gave her my card so I could get her copies but never heard from her again. That was a fun party at Kink. @samsanchezphoto

THE KINK CASTLE PART I

ALISON 248

Actually Alison couldn’t stand in these shoes. I put them on her and helped her up. She stood for a little while but I felt it was too dangerous to continue. I made a few photos and sat her down. Randy Moore on the other hand could not only stand but walk around. She said she could run in them too. I believe her. She’s very comfortable in ultra high heels. She’s wearing similar shoes in that candid shot with Jenni. I thought this fetish-y shot worked best in monochrome and it’s my little homage to Helmut Newton. @samsanchezphoto

THE STAND

ALISON 094

I shot the hell out of Alison but it still wasn’t enough. I still have a lot of concepts I’d love try in collaboration with her. Unfortunately, she no longer models. It’s cool. I have a lot of images of her I can release and I’ll always have the happy memories of working with her and the photos we created.

This is my homage to Penthouse magazine in the ‘70s. I wanted a soft contrast with some grain like the images I saw in that era. This was shot with one light with some digital blurring. Bob Guccione would shoot in daylight and smear Vaseline on the lens (OK, technically the protection filter but that’s a bit wordy and it’s easier to just say lens and ’splain it if someone asks). Playboy dabbled in that look occasionally but they were always more glamorous with multiple lights and elaborate sets. @samsanchezphoto
