‘CAMELLIA’ by TAYLAH_B
PRIMARY - 23 OCT 2018
"I was so excited to do the shoot that the day I got the camera out I decided to have a little afternoon/evening date with myself. I had some really nice red wine and listened to some hip hop. What inspired me for the shoot were a few aspects. I lived in Japan so wanted to start in my kimono from an old town in Japan. It is soft pink colours like my nipples and feminine aspects of personality. I wanted to juxtapose this soft feminine version of myself with my more kinkier and fiery side. Which I feel is truly celebrated in Japanese culture with movements like Shibari. So I got my hand cuffs out and a belt I thought might be fun to tie really tight around my neck. I got some wicked shots but unfortunately realised that I needed to use natural lighting. So a few days later I thought I would still use the imagery of flowers and handcuffs but take it outside into my backyard. It was really cold but exciting, making my nipples stand really tall. My flatmates could walk home at any moment which made it even more naughty thus exciting for me. It was so nice to see my body from many different angles. To see that curves even in places traditionally not celebrated are in fact truly beautiful. What a wonderful experience."
