Shoot - Claire ballet outdoor

Today I had a personal shoot with Claire.

A little back story on Claire.  We met during college, wayyyy back in 04.  It was purely coincidental  how we met.  She knocked on my open door as I was playing videogames and needed directions.  She was in denim shorts, thick white socks, and her holey Nike sneakers that were painted over.

So we talked and before you knew it, we were casual close friends.  Meaning that we talked and knew each other, but didn't hang out that much, close but not everyday close.  It's been like that for almost a decade now.  And I am so fortunate that she has an open mind, and a kind heart that i'm not gonna take advantage of, especially during shoots.


Today's shoot consisted of shoeplay showing off her old flats that she found in her room, and a ballet shoot.  Even since I did one with real ballerina Chloey, I wanted to do another one, and the next model I had on my schedule was Claire.

We did some outdoor shots, having her perform on a wooden bench, but unfortunately we ran out of sunlight.  Shoot time was suppose to be 2pm, pushed to 3pm, then 3:45, and finally 4:30.  It took Claire a little bit longer to get ready, which was ok with me.  It gave me time to set up since this was a personal shoot for me, and not for anyone else, muhahahahha.

Shoes in this shoot:

US Polo sneaker flats.  Were a birthday present, worn outdoors alot but lost an insole.

Faded Glory from Wal Mart.  Used for 3 years as work shoes at a financial institution. 

I think these are Mossimo sparkle flats from Target.

She calls them Donald Duck flats, I can see why.

A rough shoot :p

Taking off the ballet pointes.

Lucy the Thief

"I wear a size 6.5 and don't mind showing my face or voice."

That's what she said to me when I asked if she was ok showing off her entire body to model.  Cool I thought, I can always use more full body models.  Piper and Penny were full body models, and another, alright.  So we talked and booked a shoot.

Once we started shooting though, she said no.

With Lucy, I never got any face shots, the closest I got was a back head shot.  It really grinds my gears when models change their minds. Once you commit to terms of a shoot, stick to them since that's what i'm going by.  Frankly when I started, I was too nice and let models get away with ite, I mean things.  *looks at Lucy, Carmany and Brooke*

First shoot of Lucy.  Showing off her white porn flats.  

Stuck in a coffe cup, she was trying to crush it.

A shot of her other shoes.

Marty, you got to get into her shoe!

The part that really got to me was that she took advantage of us.  One of the perks that I state when working with us that you receive shoes to use and borrow, and maybe keep.  In this case, she was asked to borrow a pair of Sperry Topsiders for a couple of shoots later, and then keep them.  

Nope, after 1 shoot, she quit.  No contact ever since.

Un boxing her brand new Sperry Topsiders.

Shoot - Chloey photo gallery, from start to finish.

The very 1st shot, Chloey slipping off her work Crocs.

POV private shoot.

Letting her feet breathe.

Wasn't suppose to go that far.  Retake!

Reviewing her nursing Adidas.

We all got sun burnt that day.

Clouds, break time.  Stretch.

Taking a break under the roof, stretching her worn legs out.

Kicking back and relaxing.

Yea, her feet smell after working out.  We done a running shoot in the sun, and stretching, so she was drenched.

Like a true Southerner, barefoot.

Autumn, size 6.

I met Autumn online for a job posting I had.  Usually the approach I use is a vanilla greeting, and then after much discussion on what we're doing, I will say this is a shoe fetish.  Most times when I say this is a fetish shoot, is when i'm ready to drop talking to them.

During my early days, I would shoot about 3/4 vanilla shoos until the model is confident enough to do fetish shoots  Brooke took 3 shoots before I did any fetish stuff with her, the early stuff I just got her to do shoots while studying..  There is a difference between vanilla and fetish work.

Anyways, we agreed to meet at the park early morning.  First sign of trouble was that I had to wait 45 minutes before she showed up.  I'm all for waiting, but not more than 15 minutes.  One time, I waited for 90 minutes on a model, never again.

Well Autumn did show up and we proceeded to shoot.  She was in blue jeans and a styled ripped shirt, reminded me of fish gills.  Then 2nd problem was that she was sleeping and was sick.

mmmmk, yea, at this point I wanted to cancel the shoot.  Whenever I work with models, I want that synergy that is created when I know i'm shooting something good, and she's enjoying showing off.  None of that here in this case, so this was going to be a grind shoot, grinding my way through it.

So I had her do various random nonsense stuff like dangling, showing of socks, real vanilla boring stuff.

All clean

Bridge dangling.  I was going to have her drop her shoe in the river, and then have her wade out in the water to get it.

POV money shot.

So the Autumn shoot, lets say unless someone does book a shoot, this will be a one time deal.  I wasn't impressed with this shoot, and there are other size 6 models around.

Penny is one of the rare breeds that said up front "I don't mind fetish modelling" to me.  Which is why I foolishly hired her with an absurd pay rate, she took my wallet on a run. 

Our first shoot, it was held at the college library, one of the first things she said during our meet and greet was "Now are you going to ask me to suck your dick?"  I was shocked and didn't know what to say.  Granted she was hot, smoking and sexy, but the thought of asking her to do that didn't enter my mind.

I said No and we continued talking.  Apparently she drove 2 hours from another state to do this gig, and didn't feel so bad for paying her too much.  So our first shoot was in the library study room all by ourselves.  She was right about doing fetish modelling, I barely had to coach her on movements and what to do.

Penny's Pumas that she modelled off.  We helped listed them on eBay and they sold for $1, and that's excluding the $5 shipping and the .50 eBay fees.  After that, we stopped listing for 99cents.
Those were some cute shoes, they were tight on her and the matching socks, I was tempted to buy them myself but was experimenting with the shoe selling idead too much to do it.

After we wrapped up our first shoot, Penny gave me some pointers since she had more experience in the fetish modelling game, which helped me alot.  She could of called me a noob and ass blasted me but she was helpful which I appreciated, which I reciprocated with booking her some more.

 

Look at that face, how can you not love it.

Piper, co-partner of MtnMaiden

Piper, the first official model of MtnMaiden and co-partner.

Piper I first met after placing an ad in the paper looking for models.  We talked and agreed to do a shoot at the park.  Making small talk, I hinted on that we were shooting shoe/foot fetish material and she was perfectly ok with it since her last relationship was with a man that had that interest.  Which was cool by my since it made my job so much easier. 

We shot video of her shoes, which was a black pair of clothed mary janes and Adidas Superstars.  Cute shoes, and the anklet too.  If you look closely in the video when Piper sits down and removes her socks and Adidas, you can see baby powder fly off her barefeet.  Piper was a dancer, which is why she had a killer body, and nice long legs.

Sadly this was the only real shoot we had with her.  We did have a quick 2nd shoot, showing off her really dirty brown flats but this was it.  After these shoots, Piper did agree to book the shoots while I handled the shoots itself.  At the time, she had a part time job, so she took a cut from payments received, which was cool by my me because I had enough to worry about.

My first model, the ex-girlfriend in high school

Ever since early elementary school, I had a "passion" for photography of beautiful ladies.  I remember the old school days of 35mm film and wasting a whole roll trying to get that perfect shot.  You can't imagine how frustrating it is blowing so much money on film and processing fees.

Fast forward to high school when I really started to do fetish photography.

This shoot was for a custom client, dangling in pink flats.  Here's the video link: 

Messing around on the couch dangling brown flats.  These were my favorite pair to shoot with.  

Very very early work I did with my crappy digital camera.  At the moment, it only shot in 30 second increments.

I bought these shoes for the ex-gf and she wore them for 4 years.  That is why you see this type of shoe in my Youtube videos.  They are New Balance 471, grey and pink.  

As for the ex part, I found out that she was cheating on me so I moved on.  There are alot of things in life that I compromise on, but cheating in a relationship is not one of them.  That's something that free shoes to mess around/shoot with are not enough to hold me down on.

In all, this was the beginning for me when I started to take this from a hobby to a business practice, taking videos and pictures of girls in shoes, socks and barefeet.
