This was one of my very first fetish photo sessions. I was checking out a now-defunct fetish clothing store in Sherman Oaks, Cal. I asked the manager if they needed any photography done for the store, and she said yes! So, I borrowed some of their clothes, contacted one of my favorite models, Michelle B., and my friend, Dominic told me about a great location he had found . The location was actually an old furniture store in North Hollywood, that was partially demolished in the big Northridge earthquake. I was really pleased with the results of this shoot. The harder-edged, higher-contast images were a big change from anything I'd done before, and were just a hint of what I would create later on.
The same store manager told me about some of the fetish events happening in the Southern California area. I started attending those events, and photographing them, and meeting more people in the "scene".
