Makeover

This image was a very fun challenge. There’s at least four photos that have been stitched together to create the facial expression and pose of the subject model. Adding the bondage gear and the brainwashing equipment was really a quite enjoyable technical exercise.

The first image I ever worked with featuring Justine Joli. Following this, I collected quite a bit of her work and put it to good use; both at the time and since.

Pool

Probably my most ambitious project at the time. While the tentacles were not as photo-realistic as I would like them to be, seeing the story and imagery in my mind, and then bringing that to life was very rewarding.

Present

When I first came across this photo, I almost instantly had the story leap into my mind. It just took a little exchanging of the props the models are holding to bring it into focus as EMC material.

Reflection

Very minor work with the hypnotist’s arm to get it correctly posed and then replacing the face of the subject with a more ‘tranced out’ face from the same set of photos. Other than that, this is another gem that was asking for the EMC treatment.

A lot of work here to remove this chain-link top the model was wearing. Every bit worth the effort though as the source pic was just made for EMC fodder.

Chamber

Possibly, my personal favorite among the Impero series of manips. I nearly wrote a novel while working on the caption and kept having to distill it down to make it to fit within the photo. I was very proud of the story as well as the technical challenge of the woman inside the chamber, which…

Hoarse

One of those pics, yet again, that I feared I did so much with, I covered up what I loved about it originally. The model’s pose, hands at the side of her head, her empty expression, the wanton ‘O’ shape of her mouth…I just loved everything about the potential it offered. If I had it…

Motel

I remember having so much fun putting this image together. Technically challenging on a number of levels, as I worked the story, I’d have new ideas I’d try to bring to life in the imagery. I was very fond of the addition of the middle-aged couple in the far background. I thought their inclusion lent…

Weekend

I believe the original intent with this image was to actually depict, within the photo, the struggle that is often only rendered in the captions that I write. I liked the idea of the source material reflecting that aspect of the caption. The callout to ‘Wildfire Industries’ is an eponymous reference to the manip artist…
