Behind the scenes with Kitty Hagen

I remember this day very well. I had woken up early in the morning to make a quick stop at Hunt & Gather and SR Harris Fabric. I was searching for props and other items which would inspire me to create a new set for our shoot with Kitty. She was one of the models chosen to fill the final chapter of @kommienezuspadt’s Dark Pinup book which will be released on April 19th of this year.

I had the best reaction from @wcpublishing and kitty when they arrived on set. They loved the mood that I created and I couldn’t have been any happier. You can check out my post from earlier today titled “My aesthetic” to read more about my personal taste.

Kitty and I hit it off right at the start. We talked about our love for cosplay, how comfortable we are with naked bodies and how we would both be featured in the Dark Pinup book in the proclivities chapter. “Proclivities”, meaning sexy, implied nude, nude, fetish and erotic.

I have to say that I was very impressed with Kitty. Not only was she beautiful but she was pro. We got to work right away, choosing outfits and jumping right into wardrobe. We laughed as she held onto a wall to brace herself as I laced up her under-bust corset, giving her already small waist a slight curve with each pull.

You could instantly tell that she’s confident from her cheerful personality. Kitty was open to our ideas and she took direction very well. She was able to hold difficult positions easily and understood her body well enough to let us know when she needed to take breaks.

We ended the shoot with this latex kitty bondage set. The entire look was incredible. She looked like cat woman, especially with her whip which I’m told was a real bull whip. I also loved the boots, they were so badass.
