I consider myself to be a serious amateur photographer, so I look for videos that are applicable to what I want to shoot. When you watch the video, pay attention to the gear and the poses of the model. That is a serious light on the front of his camera.

I found an interesting series of videos on how to shoot models. I figure it will transfer pretty well to shooting pics of people tied up too, which is what I am starting to do. If you are interested in getting better results when photographing your partner(s) then watch below. One note: audio quality sucks, but the info is very good.
One tip I have learned, use a long lens when shooting to replicate what the Pros do. Professional photographers often use a 200mm lens to give their lens a special look. While expensive, it does get great results. If you notice, the camera the photographer is using has an extra long lens.
Good luck,

I have decided to make use of my platform by interviewing some friends I have made (usually of some noteworthiness) in the Lifestyle. I have asked quite a few already, but I am going to start this with a friend who is also a fetish photographer: Darque de Sade of Indigo Blaque Studios. Now, on with the interview.’
5 Questions with Darque de Sade
1) Who is Darque_de_Sade?
2) How did you get into the Scene/Lifestyle?
I was able to put a name to what felt and enjoyed when I was 17. Due to lack of an outlet for WIITWD at the time (pre-internet) I was a bit lost as there was no one I knew of that I could talk to or learn from. After years of being true to myself when I could I came across Black BEAT and considered myself a true part of the scene.
3) What is your claim to fame in the scene? i.e What are you known for?
If I went by what people say, it would have to be my photography (some people think I’m good). I own Indigo Blaque Studios, a photography and graphics firm. We’ve launched the Indigo Blaque Project, which is dedicated to featuring women of color in kink in a way befitting their beauty.
4) When composing your photographs, what do you try to keep in mind?
Realism. I have 2 fan bases (I hate that term), those who like the beauty and art of my work and those who seek the beauty and authenticity of the scene portrayed. I feel as long as I’m real about what I’m doing everything else falls into place.
5) What is important?
My religion, my family and loved ones, I tend to stick to the basics. Success would be nice being able to beat some ass all week would be great but in the end I have what I need.
