Again we had never shot anything like it before...we had never shot in the dungeon. Trying to figure out the lighting and sound was a pain in the butt. We had to move the lights around about 6 or 7 times which is a huge pain in the butt (as anyone photographer will know). To be honest because we were moving around so much and I had to focus on the camera and positioning I wasn't able to get into "sub space" fully. That doesn't mean that I wasn't into it. I was...I very much enjoyed myself and was very pleased with the end result (well other than the fact that there wasn't a "pop shot"). I think it could have turned out way different if we didn't have to constantly stop, move the equipment, take pictures, etc. It would have been more organic and I of course I would have been able to get in "sub space" and would have been able to completely and utterly lose myself in the session. For the stuff we wanted to shoot (the flogging, bondage, different areas, etc.) it just wasn't possible though.
There is no pleasing everyone (which I realized quite a while ago). The shoot was either too hard or too soft for people. Of course some people aren't going to like the fact that there is a guy in the shoot.
I really hope none of you are upset by these comments. They aren't towards anyone in specific...I just wanted to clear some things up.

I can see not getting in the mood of the Master/Slaves roles when you always thinking of the lighting postions and making sure you were angle correctly for the camera,etc.. and doing it for 5-6 hrs in a 95 degree room would had me quiting after the first hour.What had me confuse is I would think they would had some kind of A/C or air flow going through that room knowing that BDSM would get the people worked up and overheated.
