Today her work has matured, and the style is refined and detailed and has become semi realistic.

She likes to draw women with a certain power of seduction, latex women, Geisha and Lolitas.

She admires the great fashion photographers who captures the essence of femininity and the great American pinup artists.

Entitled the Sunrise series, the new series are a surreal mix of symbolism, erotica and fetish… slick black oily rubber, dusky skies and desert sands.

The surrealism remind me of Hajime Sorayama works and the hazed landscapes seen in the reflections of chrome.

The photograph of the rubber-clad woman above comes from one of her current portfolios. Visit Barbara’s blog for some wonderful behind the scenes photos and for photoshoot credits.

If you’ll be in the NYC area this May, be sure to check out her new gallery show titled Smooth Hotel at Gansevoort 69 in the Meatpacking District which features “provocative photographs of chic people misbehaving in anonymous hotel settings.” Go here for further info.

This January, I joined a amateur photography club and now have a place where I can talk to like minded photographers, learn new techniques and maybe the best thing… access to a photo studio with professional lighting and paper backgrounds.

I have only been in the studio three times and already things such as lighting are getting more manageable.

My favourite subject is, not surprisingly, Latex Kitty in her many latex fetish attires. It’s a blessing having a partner in crime and even more so, one there makes her own latex clothing.

I finish up my fetish photos in Adobe Photoshop, where I do some colour adjustments and add shadows to improve the final result. I’m not a huge fan of photo retouching, but I do clean up my photos by removing hairs, stains and small imprefections.

If you want to see more of my photos, please take a look in the portfolio section of the latex gallery.

I have been so lucky to get my hands on a copy of Christine Kessler’s new photography book named “Nylon Girls” – featuring some of the hottest fetish models from around the world posing in stockings and pantyhoses. This may sound a little boring for a latex fetishist, but fear not, there are also models in latex stockings and other latex fashions in the book, as Christine is a huge fan of latex.

Nylon Girls has 112 full color pages and has an introduction by the legendary Eric Kroll (Fetish Girls) and is packed with Christine’s erotic photos of nylon vixens.

Christine’s photographs are a very natural with a soft lighting which makes her models look both sensual and sexy. The book has more than 50 photos series (2-5 photos in each) with fetish models, that should be familiar to you, if you are a regular here at Lust, Love & Latex, such as – Mosh, Darenzia, Emily Marilyn, Ancilla Tilla, Ulorin Vex, Apnea – just to mention a few.

You can order “Nylon Girls” from my UK Book Store or US Book Store.
