We sent a couple of messages back-and-forth talking about ideas / themes but we couldn't really settle on one specific thing that we wanted to shoot. Obviously, she was aware of my style, and was looking to shoot the same sort of thing as me, namely latex / fetish / Alt. imagery. In the end, we just agreed that she'd bring various fetishy clothing and props, and we'd just spend a couple of hours shooting and experimenting.
This was the last of my shoots in the hotel I've been using, and I booked a different room to previous visits, which threw a few new options into the mix. At various times Aurora was on the bed, sofa, chair, toilet, bath, and at one point even in a wardobe. She didn't really want to go in the wardrobe, but I really just had to shut her in there for 5 minutes peace and quiet...
Anyway, we tried quite a few different outfits and lighting setups and I think we came away with a nice variety of images - ranging from the dark and intense S&M type, to the brighter Alt-Glamour 'FRONT' magazine kinda stuff. Overall, it went pretty well. She was great fun to work with, great personality, with tons of character. Unfortunately, I did make a few school-boy errors during the shoot, but I kind of didn't mind. The whole purpose of the shoot was to try some stuff out, see what works and what doesn't, and at the end of the day, I'm happy with the images.
