KB-DID - In the Corner 1
By Lazarus Redmayne
I’ve said it before, I will say it again: you can create incredibly fun scenes using nothing more than your imagination and a few nicely placed double columns and single columns!
We got this inspiring shot and many others in just 20 minutes of shooting while at the Lovers Lane in Flint, Michigan. We had a short time between our arrival and when our Foundations class was to start. The staff there, Shannon and Arin, were lovely and happy to let us use one of their fitting rooms for a little photoshoot!
Blu and I both love John Willie, particularly his Sweet Gwendoline series, and had been planning on doing some damsel in distress (“DID”) shots while on the road, so Blue already had a number of fun outfit choices. While she was doing her make up for dramatic effect and getting dressed, I set up the camera and set some atmospheric lights I have to red and blue. After that, it was just a matter of adding a few double columns and letting blues theater kid persona have free rain! We got lots of fun images in that very short time. We may show some of the others another time — we are working on the idea of creating KajiraBlue.com as a place to share more of this kind of content, what do you think? — but for now, these two are our favorites from this version of Kajira Blue, Damsel in Distress!
Scene Credits
Prerequisites
Scene
- Add a Wrap & Cinch Double Column to the ankles.
- You can use a shorter rope for this, you only need about 5-6’. We used 15’ because that’s the shortest rope I had with me. That longer length does add a fetching width to the cuffs though :-)
- Add a Fast Load-bearing Double Column to the elbows.
- Use the tails from (2) to create an In-line Fast Load-baring Double Column.
- In this tie, I did the wrists in such a way that the tail would naturally flow back toward the elbow instead of flowing toward the fingers as it does in the above tutorial.
- Use up the remaining rope by wrapping it around the ropes that run from the elbows to the wrists.
- Lock off.
