Knotty Clown Photography Workshop

Knotty Photos announces its second in a series of kink/fetish/BDSM photography workshops on Saturday, May 10. The theme of this workshop will be sexy clowns with a BDSM/fetish spin. Once again there will be 3 spectacular models, CraftyFoxCosplay, Kiddirrt and TheGreenRiverSiren.

Crafty is a hardcore cosplayer and gives of a vibe that is simultaneously wholesome and sexy as a clown. Kid (Fern) is an accomplished runway and fashion model and will debut a clown persona that takes advantage of her long, lean body.

Siren has a few clown personas that range from wholesome(ish) to cyberpunk to heavily goth. These are three of my favorite models of all time and never disappoint.

The workshop will include a studio tour and interactive conversation about this genre of photography with Dean Rodgers, owner of Knotty Photos. The discussion will be tailored to topics of interest and experience level of the attendees who register. Possible topics include securing talent, getting the most out of your models, equipment and technique. 

The event will also in include three hours of shooting. The studio is large enough to allow three groups of two photographers to shoot simultaneously. One set will use a combination of natural lighting and strobes or constant lighting, one will feature stage lights with fresnel lenses for a vintage Hollywood look and the third will use standard LED lighting. A small lunch (pizza) and refreshments will be provided.

The Shoot

All three models are highly-experienced professionals. They will be wearing unique costumes. Each will have a variety of props and props available. Some (possibly all) models will be OK with artistic nudity. Implied bondage, spanking, etc. are also options.

Registration is limited to 6 photographers, ensuring a 2:1 photographer to model ratio. Lighting and radio triggers will be provided for use during the shoot. Shooting will be divided into three one hour segments with short breaks in between. 

The studio tour will start at 12:30 on May 10. Photography will begin at 2:00.
