Model Call

We're always on the lookout for new models. We are located in the Auburn, WA area. We try to do a LOT of shooting during the summer using outdoor locations in the 98092 zip code, about a half an hour SE of Seattle. Payment is pre-negotiated on a case-by-case basis. We are really into doing this bondage/BDSM thing for fun and prefer models who enjoy it as well. When it's all about the $ it shows. I hope that can change to a standard pay scale soon.

I do know a lot of other paying producers and if our shoot goes well I would be happy to point them in your direction and give honest references. Sometimes I can help you coordinate several local shoots to help make your trip worthwhile if you are coming from out of town. (References will be needed from you if you want that service)

TFCD (Trade for a CD of the photo's) is ALWAYS encouraged and works out well for everyone involved. We'll take great shots of you in bondage and try to work with your own portfolio or site needs as well.

Email me at maria@boundtoloveit.com or mariashadoes@yahoo.com if you are over 18, have at least 2 pieces of government issue ID and a desire to have some BDSM photo/video fun.

Shoot Tips

What you should bring:

2 pieces of government issue ID. If you don't bring this we can't shoot you.

Plan on signing a model release allowing us copyright and full use of images and video or a shared content contract.

High heels, preferably stilletto type. If you have fetish wear, definitely bring it but be aware that we do a lot sets with models wriggling on rough rock, in grass, dirt or in water and choose your outfits accordingly. We can't cover the cost of an outfit that gets damaged in a shoot. If you are shooting TFCD and have an outfit you want to wear safely definitely bring it and we'll make sure you get some portfolio shots!!! Almost anything you feel sexy in could work for us.

Make up! Even if you look great and have that 'fresh' look we'll still prefer that you wear make-up for our sets. If we shoot with lights the lights really wash you out without make-up and make it harder to see your facial expressions. Plus - the guys just love to see makeup running and smudged (I'm a girl... I don't get it at all but it's a fact!) If you aren't sure about your skills at make-up application please let me know during the pre-shoot negotiations and we'll factor in time for me to help you out (I do NOT claim to be a make-up expert).

Hiking shoes & flip-flops or aqua socks. A lot of the locations we shoot at involve taking a 15-25 minute 'hike' on forest trails. You do NOT want to try doing this in your high-heeled sling back sandals! Once we get to the locations some require wading in the river (thus the aqua socks). It's a good idea to bring some sweats and a sweatshirt because when you come out of a difficult tie you may get the chills afterwards and it's nice to have something to put on that is warm and dry. If you have a day type backpack, it's a great idea to bring that so that you can easily carry a few items with you on the hike. Don't worry, we'll carry most of the heavy stuff and the dogs will help carry beverages.

What first?

First you email me and we 'pre negotiate' the shoot. Via email, we'll discuss pay rate, length of shoot, your experience level and your limits. What I mean by 'limits' is the things you DON'T want to do or have happen to you. ie: no 'pink' shots (pussy), no spanking, no insertion... This is also the time to tell me if you have any physical hangups (or mental ones for that matter) like a trick knee or bad back or TMJ (can't wear a gag).

When would I get my copies of the content?

If you want raw images then, in most cases, we can make you a CD after the shoot if you can hang around for an hour or so extra to wait for it. If that isn't possible we can snail mail a CD of the raw images within the following week. If you'd like me to edit the images for you (with the BLI mark, unless you request otherwise) then be sure to discuss the time frame with me. Sometimes I let content sit for months before I get it edited. (I won't do that if you let me know you are anxious for it and if it is avoidable). Video is typically NOT shared for a TFCD shoot. In special cases clips may be provided for limited use on your own site but only if prenegotiated and never very quickly.

Is it giong to hurt? Leave marks?

Rope marks typically disappear within an hour or so but expect to get one or two spots that redden a bit (similar to chapping) which may take a day or three to completely disappear. If marks are a concern please make sure you bring up your concern during the pre-shoot negotiations.

Bondage is usually uncomfortable - that is part of the appeal to it for people like me. If you are not 'into' bondage for pleasure then you can expect to be uncomfortable and have it border on mild pain. Before we start the shoot I will discuss with you what you can expect to feel and what 'problem' signs to watch for. YOU are in complete control when you are in bondage. The minute you use your safeword we will get you free, or at least remove any gags so that you can communicate with us and we can change whatever is bothering you.

This is NOT the best site for prima-donna princess models. We hike, we get on the ground where bugs and slugs may be, we climb in trees and play in the mud. If you are not an outdoorsy type of gal then let me know that when you contact me and we may choose to shoot you in the studio.

If you've never done bondage - make sure I know that before the shoot date!!!

How long does it take?

The length of the shoot will have agreed upon parameters. I prefer to pay by the day or by the set. If I pay by the day there is a minimum number of 'sets' that I need. Usually 3 and if I can get 4 I'm a happy camper. Each set takes under an hour to actually shoot but with set-up and make-up I like to factor in 90 minutes. That allows to relax and have a lot of fun in an easy-going setting. We provide some light snacks and beverages and if you are shooting all day then we usually feed you dinner. :)

If you are coming from out of town and would like to stay for a couple of days that is definitely possible. I'm a ways away from Seattle but I have a decent guest room. You should like dogs whether you come to shoot or stay or both. we have 3 large dogs - they are very friendly and have the run of the house and, the yard, though not the house itself, and they come with me to most of the location shoots. Let me know if you have concerns being around them BEFORE the shoot please.

If you have questions or know you'd like to do a shoot with us please email me at maria@boundtoloveit.com
