I was adjusting the set of the Peep Show when KNOX wanted to do some images. KNOX, Dan and I were creating the stage for Peep Show. This prior to her cutting her hair and had only a few small tats on her back.

terrific captures, Tim! Love her facial expressions (absolutely beautiful girl, by the way), love her skin, and of course love her uninhibited manner. Great outfit!

I totality agree! KNOX was stunning. She disliked her nose and I would go ga-ga over it, having her turn her head, which she would do, then turn her eyes to me and say "My hook nose, right!" Then a sensual smile would slip across her mouth, followed by "Are my cock sucking lips the way you like them?" As I snapped the image she would throw her head back and laugh, then turn and view me myopically, almost with a bugged out single stare of a single eye, then laugh even louder.
The woven drape is some unfinished craft 'thing' I found at Hobby Lobby, it mimics the outer lace drapes women would drop over their dark attire, the light cloth would then stand out in that cloth's detail and so obscuring the thick soft curves of the feminine form beneath of the sack style dress.
We were on a break from the exterior conversion that was to be the solarium, it would look out onto the garden. Dan and KNOX were busy helping get the area of the kitchen converted to a mini studio.
Outside it was imposable in the afternoons to work as temperatures were a hundred degrees fahrenheit. I had Dan's help one day a week for project. KNOX was assisting while compensating rent of the apartment. WE had just returned from lunch at the TexMex eatery down the street.

To continue, KNOX really hated the large tat in the center top of her back even though she could not see it. She had not had much work the past few weeks modeling. She was helping with the building where she could but she was totally new at it and had zero skills.
Like many women, mom knew little to nothing and dads don't take the time to teach these skills to their girl children. In the arts I have run into this so often, and so I get the women when I can to gain exposure to the basic skills needed to work with wood. I'm no craftsman but I can do the necessary basic work.
So, I try to incorporate a certain structure that is mostly male with the primary 'girl' part that most every woman goes through as she grows into being a woman. That process is a female mystery know as 'Pretty-Pretty Princess'. This 'Pretty-Pretty Princess' is when adolescent females roll play scenarios. They dress up, even do make up, wigs and such then roll play different positions and styles of social roll. The idea is to fit into the 'skin' of that persona to see how to BE that persona and then to become that type of persona. In this way they experience the theatrical/emotive state to see how they like or dislike that persona. If they want the persona they will repeat it again and again till they craft the persona as a place they like to be.
The best women who do model well are women, who as girls, did the roll structuring fantasy that is the 'Pretty-Pretty Princess'. Women know this rite of passage and a few men will also have experience with this. It is one of the foundations of acting and in the private world it is play acting.

This is what is the early Peep Show. You guest it, a totally prurient style occurrence. Original? Only in a marginal way as an idea. The back story. As always VADA the mistress who inspires was over to model and that is when it happened. I had forgotten some part of the camera/gear and had gone back into the studio to retrieve that item. Thus I left the nude VADA in the garden, basking in the sun with the prop for our working session. It was a framed large sheet of plate glass. I built the thing so I could be behind the glass and frame to protect the digital camera from getting wet.
As I returned to the garden there was VADA pressing her boobs against the warm sun drenched glass awaiting my return. That was a revealing moment of observation. It was from that gesture in that moment that the concept of the Peep Show was born. After the basic work that day and VADA had gone home I began day dreaming about that moment and the many possibilities flooded my mind.
Above is a post of a model at Christmas expressing her take on the Peep Show and ginger bread men.

The story of the Peep Show continues...
VADA loves water, just like Starena, VADA gets excited by water. I do not mean that in some abstract notion. Like water melon and polka dots VADA becomes physically aroused. When I work with her and bring water melon into the scene I will place myself so as not to view her, but she will move closer. I use a large flat carving knife and cut most of the way through the round melon. I set the knife to one side of the melon then I press thumb and fingers into the large gash, I pry the melon into the two halves, and the last part of the rind will tear open with a clear sound of that ripping. It causes a reaction in her like a minor orgasm.
I know, this seems odd, but with women (some aspects of men as well) this happens quite often. The book Delta of Venus by Anais Nin, is a series of short erotic writings. In the front of the book you will read a story of how a woman becomes completely enslaved to a lover due to his cologne. It is his scent that drives her mad with passion. In the end he changes his cologne and she looses all interest in him. This is no fairy tale but is delivered as a great truth.
So sound and sent can have decisive effects on the model for a sitting. To alter a session with a woman/model from the basics into that which will produce erotic imagery there are different techniques. I prefer the ones that will build the session into a slow building into that which the model can slip into the time when she played the youthful game of Pretty-Pretty Princess. It is role playing and with a certain detachment from reality. In the final state this is fantasy and more importantly the mind of the model perceives this as an artistic expression...they are doing art. Never loose track that it is fantasy and it is a performance, that it is art just like dance.
This Peep Show is not entirely like that of the classic peep shows, it is not the same as the seedy side of back stage prurient activity. What is does is to isolate both the viewed and viewer from contact. It is the height of detachment. I must also say that in creating this I am giving the nod to the great twenty century artist Marcel Duchamp and his love of glass in all of it's ramifications and variations. Here I quote Duchamp, "You can see seeing, you can't hear hearing".
In this image Cristi Cane is being the photographer that she was and making images in the Peep Show of VADA while I'm on the 'normal' side of the Peep Show for a photographer. VADA is reclining on a green pillow directly in front of the large glass front.

I like the first best of the bunch, and this particular shoot makes good use of your penchant for unusual and at times odd, prop-ery. :-)

Thank you Badge, I'm delighted that the images were up to par with the quality many on here have come to desire.
I did receive a PM from someone who expressed that their experience with peep shows was some how lacking in my presentation of what a peep shows is or should be. My limited experience with a peep show happened in Denmark ay age 18, so I'm not sure what sort of experience one receives here in the US. Probably different I'm sure.

Excellent set Tim. Love hearing about the inner workings that have led to these.

You are one of the few apparently.
Never fear, VADA will be over for lunch and we are planned to do a garden shoot. It's suppose to be in the low 80's and some cloud cover! Spring has sprung.
Of course I will be doing that style, you know, snap shot style and I'm sure there will be potted plant cluttering things up, it's my style! LOL!!!
Oh well, may be people won't look so they don't need to get out the bleach and clean up their eyes after having to look at the ugly pictures.
VADA is so ugly, why do I even waste my time and yours. You know like this...
