Event Series Event Series: Monday Night Classes

June 23 @ 7:15 pm – 9:00 pm

How can you capture the raw, visceral energy of a primal scene? The intense intimacy of an Ichinawa scene? Or freeze a whip crack in motion the instant it kisses your bottom’s skin?

Many of us have photographed the “artifacts” of our scenes–whether it is a completed rope suspension, or the aftermath of a bruised backside. Some have even participated in erotic, boudoir, or fetish photoshoots. But photographing an authentic kink or BDSM scene in progress is an entirely different beast.

Join our resident shutterbug Holo on a kinky photo safari as we explore the wild unknowns of photographing a live scene. We will cover basic concepts such as lighting and positioning, before moving on to discuss how to adapt to different kinds of scenes, and even explore how photography can enhance the scene itself.

Presenter Bio:

Holo (he/they) identifies as a switch and has experience with a number of types of play, but considers photography his main “kink”. He has been a shutterbug for more than 30 years and kinky for 25 years, though it’s only recently that he thought to combine the two. Since 2022, he has been taking scene, kink, BDSM, and other photos for friends and the community. Holo has been an APEX member for about as long, and volunteers in a variety of ways, including as Photography EDGE facilitator, occasional class presenter, chair of the APEX Marketing Committee, and member of our Executive Committee.
