Between my own desire to do more and more fetish work and Toxic Goddess Aello’s progression into being a professional dominatrix, we’re finding new and exciting ways to express ourselves and “Tease and Deny” is a good example of where we’re headed with that goal.

That leather straightjacket was the core of this piece and the reason why I wanted to shoot in black and white. I knew that leather would look great with that lighting scheme, but this turned out so much more gritty and real than I expected. I love the shadows and highlights in this set.

Both players deserve kudos here. Toxic Goddess Aello plays off her pet exceptionally well, and still manages to keep us in mind for much of the set, while “slave p” certainly deserves recognition for putting that hot outfit on and literally surviving in the dark for the entire shoot.

Modeling for these types of photos are not as easy as you would think!
