Project L: Part 95 - Behind the scenes

The behind the scenes are here!

WIP: Part 95's behind the scenes #4

A variation of this photo was my personal favourite from the main project. The difference vs. the original is very subtle, but makes a huge difference in my mind.

For reference, below is the better version - with a more pronounced, clear silhouette of Leila's face.

WIP: Part 95's behind the scenes #3

Some of the photos show Leila's anatomy in a strange way - like here, the reflection is beautiful, but the pose is perhaps a bit awkward.

But perhaps it's more everyday life, then?

Maybe?

WIP: Part 95's behind the scenes #2

More alternative angles and frames from part 95.

This particular exhibition was very interesting, as it was pretty much the best-lit installation in the house. At the same time it's harsh and non-forgiving, but then again, it looks more immersive.

Unfortunately the House of Art has closed for now. The house will be demolished in the near future.

WIP: Part 95's behind the scenes #1

I've now started the editing and choosing process of part 95's behind the scenes photos. There might be some decent, unseen treasures there, too, that just quite didn't make it in the full project due to their unfit context - even though they might stand well by themselves.

That's why the behind the scenes exist! And I'm very happy to publish them only to a limited audience, as in not to "dilute" the main project. If you know what I mean.

High-resolution photos for part 96

High-resolution photos, coming right up!

Project L: Part 94 - Behind the scenes

Look! Behind the scenes!

Finally!

I'm cleaning up my backlog!

Part 96: Patreon-only video - Jonna polishes her suit

Apparently polishing one's catsuit is too much for YouTube to host it as a public video.

So, I present to you - the parts that were cut out from the final video. Basically it's just Jonna rubbing BeGloss' polish on herself.

Part 96's video

After battling with Youtube's advertiser friendly algorithms, I finally managed to upload a version that was approved for ad revenue!

I'll upload the not-so-advertiser-friendly parts, few seconds of Jonna polishing her catsuit, later for your eyes only.

Work in Progress: Part 94 - #4

Part 94's behind the scenes photos have been pretty much edited, and the only remaining task is to finish up the website thingy part.

Hoping to be able to do that tomorrow, so there's one less BTS to publish.

Here's a photo of Leila sticking her finger up a small horse statue's nose. I think the horse was named Chips, according to the bust.

Project L: Part 96 - Autumn, too early

Part 96 is here!

I feel obligated to apologize that the project is rather short, especially when comparing to the previous part, which was probably the longest high-quality Project L so far.

We managed to squeeze the photoshoot in under two hours, which is probably a record. This was helped due to the fact that it's Jonna's own, personal catsuit, so I just picked her up from her apartment and we drove off to the shooting location, shot there and drove back.

Worry not, I will...

WIP: Part 96 #4

A little bit of relazing meditation on top of a hill. In latex, of course.

Basically there's a man-made lake which we walked around in a hurry, as we were losing light quickly.

WIP: Part 96 #3

Jonna's catsuit was full of cat hair. We had to polish it up more afterwards, but I didn't bother to edit out the hairs. Should I have? It's kind of manipulation.

WIP: Part 96 #2

... but then again, in some photos, the suit is extraordinary shiny.

WIP: Part 96 #1

It was a very cloudy day when we shot the latest project. The shadows were way too deep to bounce off a proper reflection from the catsuit.

We'll have to see what the end result will look like.

Work in Progress: Part 94 - #3

Leila has a glimpse of sadness in this photo. Maybe even hopelessness.

It's nothing, really, just a microexpression, but it's why I did not include it in the main part.

As a standalone latex photo, it could tell a story, though - especially as the building behind Leila used to be a mental institution of some sort, a housing for them.

Work in Progress: Part 94 - #2

Leila looks down from a  bridge, seeing brown, murky water below.

Such is the life in Southern Finland.

It would be lovely to move up to Northern Finland.

Work in Progress: Part 94 - #1

Sometimes the photo is good in theory, but not quite as sharp as I would have hoped for. This happens because I way overuse wide apertures, such as in this photo - an aperture of f/1.2 with a 50mm lens on a full frame camera.

It is very difficult to focus properly.

This is one reason why I might swap my current camera to one that has better autofocus... I mean, mine's excellent, too, but the new Canon EOS R3 has even better one.

High-resolution photos for part 95

Part 95's high-resolution photos are here! There's so much content that I had to split it to three zips in order to fit into Patreon's 200 Mb file size limit.

I know I could've split it in .part files, but some mobile users have had problems with those; thus I created three separate files for you to download.

Video: Project L: Part 95 - House of Art

A video?

As long as 7 minutes?

This soon?

Yes!

It's here!

Project L: Part 95 - The house of art

Well, this one took a lot of editing. There were so many rooms, so many places to capture different images.

It was a surprisingly difficult location, too, with extremely low lighting and crampled spaces. Separately, no problem with that - but as my low-light lenses are at fixed focal lengths and not very wide, it takes a lot of effort and attempts in different angles to find what I was looking for.

Without further ado.

Part 95.

The house of art.

Part 95: Work in Progress #4

To our huge surprise, the first art installation we found in the place was made of a big latex sheet!

The installation, named "FARMERS FETISH" and created by Santtu Laine, was, simply put, a latex sheet set upon a pile of dirt, surrounded by "sensual" photos of the same sheet.

I don't understand modern art that much, but I do understand the underlying factors of latex sheeting being seen as a fetish accessory - but this point will absolutely be missed by the people seeing the exhi...

Part 95: Work in Progress #3

Leila stands inside a room filled with UV light. The reflecting light does magical things to the already shiny suit!

Part 95: Work in Progress #2

There were an abundance of beautiful installations in the location. Leila leans into one of the "main" installations.

Even though we're usually about combining latex with other clothing, a plain catsuit on a public-ish place is just something so very different – and as there were only other photographers and models of other projects present, Leila was very confident in her outfit.

Art: @jugix2 with the ins...

Part 95: Work in Progress #1

There's this whole block of flats in a nearby city of Kerava, destined for demolition, that has been taken over by art. it's named "Taiteen kotitalo", or translated, the home house of art.  Every single apartment of the house has been turned into a piece of art, and it's basically a huge art exhibition.

https://www.purkutaide.com/taiteen-kotitalo-2021/ 

There was an open day for art...

Mobile photos: Part 95

We went to a huge art installation, a block of flats completely covered in art!

More to follow. Soon.

Project L: Part 93 - Behind the scenes

Part 93's behind the scenes photos are here finally, in whole!

I'm really hoping that I could turn Project L into full time day job, with two to four publications per month, but as it is, "real" work takes so much of my free time that it's ridiculous.

I mean, is there even a way to go there? What could I do more to give a better value for the projects? I'd reaaaally want to move into a farm somewhere further away from the Southern Finland and start myself a proper latex studio, wi...

Part 93: Behind the scenes, Work in Progress #7

Some more variations coming in!

Hoping to publish the behind the scenes project this weekend.

Leila puts something into her hair to make it not fly around in the wind.
