Corsets, Corsets, Corsets
Let's face it: In fashion photography, whether it be your mainstream high fashion or your alternative fashion, there is one constant. The corset!
As far as clothing goes, they're beautiful. And take away the functionality of just being an article in your wardrobe, many of them themselves are works of art.
I cannot think of a single other form of garment by itself is just so fabulous. Clothing perfection in my opinion.
Okay that's enough gushing.
The point of this whole post is of course, how well corsets work in photography. Again, fashion, alt fashion, glamour, pin-up; they are all served well with this timeless article of clothing.
Way back, my very first shoot in my home "studio" was for promo material for a local burlesque troupe and almost solely involved corsets. From there I was hooked and I have had the great fortune of photographing many, many of them since.
In fact, I feel compelled to write this post after a recent spate of shoots where several models in a row brought several great corsets with them! Glee!
Anyway, there isn't really too much point to this post except that I really wanted to write something, to express my basic thoughts on corsets and photography and showcase a few of my favourite images involving them! I'll hush up now.
Thanks for reading!
