A Collection of Female Attire

The Collection: Panties
#15- #17

 (Please note: This is the “archive” of the collection of shoot props (generally lingerie/womens attire somehow) that I have gathered over the last 11 years of my career.
They are catalogued by number, and description for now as well as any other relevant information about their individual histories- how I came to have the items, what shoots they might have been used for, etc.
The style in which I document an item may vary according to the type of garment/object it is).

The Collection -PANTIES - no. 015 Catalogued for TheSofterSex#15 – Panties
White synthetic, “seamless”, thong. Size medium, from Pick ‘n Pay. There are often occasions on photoshoots where one needs that perfect pair of white panties and somehow I always feel I don’t have the exact look I need and so I end up hunting down another pair to suit the intended shoot.

The Collection -PANTIES - no. 016 Catalogued for TheSofterSex
#16 – Panties
Pink cotton panties with white lace trimmings, size absolutely-tiny. I wonder if these are actually panties for kids, but then I look at all those lace embellishments and just can’t believe they would have been made for someone under 15?! These disturbingly teeny brooks were yet another China-supermarket purchase which live in the collection.

#17 – Panties
Mr. Price, size small thong made of floral-print stretch-satin, white lace waist band with yellow ribbon detail. I bought these knickers for the Playboy South Africa “Miss May” Playmate shoot in 2013. The underwear set that she wore for this PR image was actually a really pretty design from MrPrice.

Playmate Pictorial: “Miss March”
for Playboy Magazine, South Africa

I LOVED working on this shoot for Playboy South Africa. I met and cast Sabian from a gym class I went to at 360 Specialised Training in 2013. We did her casting shoot in my studio and her shoot for the magazine itself was done in the gym where we met.

Here is a teaser for Sab’s behind the scenes video made by the talented Ross Campbell.

Above and below are shots from Sabian’s casting call for Playboy in studio.

This girl was pure sunshine to work with.

Below the small team who worked on the shoot. Ross Campbell on the behind the scenes video (link higher up in this post), Colleen Van Rensburg on hair and makeup, Sabian and Colleens apprentice (can’t remember her name unfortunately).

Playmate Pictorial: “Miss May”
for Playboy Magazine, South Africa

I photographed Johannesburg born Tersha Makwiya in March 2013 for South Africa’s May edition of Playboy.

The shoot took place over one day with a small team (the way I prefer it personally) made up of myself, Sven Kristian who assisted me, Sebastine Pepler on hair and makeup and Tersha our Miss May model.

We shot both with a black Lotus which was on loan for the shoot and inside the rooms of the Banksia Boutique Hotel in  Rosebank Cape Town.

Ive added a few behind-the-scenes shots from the shoot as well. It gives a nice all round view of this 6 hour shoot.
