....: Bound consists of a series of 100 photos, each of a different person with the hands tied behind their back with a different object or substance. Each image will be identically framed, and the models are shirtless and naked from neck to waist.
I'm exploring the idea that as varied as our skin tones, body shapes, skin textures and postures are, so are the things that bind and constrict us, in both a physical and metaphorical sense.
The series is intended for gallery exhibitions. I've got a studio in which I work but I also have access a few cool locations that I use if the mood strikes me. All of it's in the Milwaukee area. For shoots with nudity involved, I make every attempt to to staff with same-gender assistants and crew to make my models more comfortable.
MODEL GUIDELINES:
All models must be over 18 and willing to pose partially nude for the shot. We request that models wear loose fitting clothing for at least two hours before the shoot to elimate marks and lines that elastic and straps may cause on the back. All models must be willing to sign a photo release, and will receive a print of any shots selected for inclusion in the series.
Below, please find a list of the items we're considering for the series. By no means is it a comprehensive list. If you'd like to reserve a specific item for your photo, click on the 'Sign me up!' link.
