My first time!

Shooting in latex and ballet heels for the first time was both a challenge and a thrill. The setting we chose—an industrial exterior with weathered textures and hard lines—contrasted perfectly with the sleek, high-gloss finish of my outfit. The look was striking: a short, black dress with a white collar detail, paired with jet-black latex leggings and towering ballet heels. Every pose demanded balance, awareness, and intention.

Raymond was incredibly supportive throughout the shoot. His calm direction and attention to light and angles helped me stay focused despite the physical demands of the footwear. We experimented with several compositions—leaning against railings, shifting perspective from below to elongate the form, and using the raw, gritty backdrop to emphasize the look's polished strength. This balance between elegance and tension shaped the mood of the entire session.

Looking back, it was a rewarding first step into a bold aesthetic. The shoot was less about perfection and more about exploring presence, posture, and pushing into a new visual language. I left that day tired but energized, already thinking about how to refine and deepen this direction.
