Bondage Fashion

Bond age
Noun
1. The state of being a slave.
2. A state of being greatly constrained by circumstances or obligations. 

As the words slave and constrain appear within the definition on bondage i researched into bondage fashion creating a link with the concept of control . I looked at the photography on the website www.pinterest.com/frkblack/bondage-fashion/. The photographs inspired me in how i could capture control through the garment, poses and photography.

Depicting the overall image in this photograph on the right, from the model, the pose, the facial expression, the garment and how the model is only wearing the garment created by watches also made me think what i put the model in underneath the garment i make, if anything, the pose and body language and how these would capture the concept to its fullest. 

After researching bondage fashion I photographed the garment i made on a naked model to capture the concept of the garment controlling the body. I found the photos give a sense of control but not in the way I wanted. The photograph controls the viewers view of the amount of the models body they can see but doesn't capture control of the body. 

To emphasis the concept of control I aim to experiment with the way the garment wraps around the body in such a way that it disfigures the bodies form. I will also try extending the garment so it is possible to wrap around the limns of the model and then attach to the surrounding wall limiting the models movement and controlling the poses executed.
