Archive: Bondage Lifestyle On LocationPhotoset (150 photos) starring Ariel AnderssenAdded 15-01-2026Tags: barefoot, handcuffs, blonde, leg irons, metal bondage, outdoor, dress On our trip to Fuerteventura, Ariel and I wanted to capture something of what it is like to live the bondage lifestyle! I know I'm talking all about technical stuff rather than the hot bondage for these sets shot in Fuerteventura. Truth is, it was more the novel technical aspects that were driving what we shot (at least for me- the stuff Ariel had in mind was more driven by the look and feel of outfits she'd brought with her). On past RE location trips, I've usually had a case or two full of lighting and photo gear and stumped up for the extortionate excess baggage charges. This time, could we go out with just a normal suitcase and still fit in enough bondage and camera gear to do a shoot? Turns out yes. Not only that, I had enough to experiment with some distinctly different renderings of the scene. This set was shot immediately before the blue rope in the sea set ("The Sea's Damn Cold!"). But rather than use the ringflash for fill, I wanted to rely on the dynamic range of the sensor to get some nice detail in the shadows, knowing that I could reduce the contrast in post back to something more like our eyes were seeing on location. I wanted to try shooting with a shallow depth of field, because that's a pretty expensive look in such a sunny location (traditionally achieved with multiple assistants holding flags overhead, and all manner of fiddle-faddle. Would a modern camera let us just shoot that the way it looked like it ought to be shot? Just pose, point and shoot? Yes! I had a bit of a go with the catadioptric lens (see "Naked On The Beach" for more) but then settled on a "nifty fifty" and just went for it. There was just about enough bouncing light from the sand that Ariel has mild catchlights in her eyes, and the combination of shallow depth of field and lush sunset colours does a lot to make the shots feel luxurious and delicious. After the trip I invested in a better triggering system for the Godox ringflash so I can use it in HSS mode- I think just a tiny dose of flash at minimum power, but still shooting with the lens wide open, would probably be the icing on the cake to perfect this look. |
