Many Lingerie photoshoot Cape Town -by-Leah-Hawker-051-1

#111 – Stockings
Bright red stockings. These have been used in many a shoot. At the time when I got them it wasn’t so easy to find multicoloured stockings in SA, that has changed now.

 

The-Collection---STOCKINGS---no.112---Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#112 – Stockings
Checker-board design, black stockings. These have a distinctly 90’s feel and originally came from Woolies.

#113 – Stockings
Deep red stay-up stockings in fishnet with lace detail. Gifted to me from a client about 11 years ago.

The-Collection---STOCKINGS---no.114---Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#114 – Stockings
Beige/nude hold-up vintage stockings. I bought many pairs of these stockings at one stage. They were produced in the 90’s by the looks of the packaging. They’re super pale and fleshy and almost totally nude/invisible against this pair of legs.

The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---41-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#41 – Stockings
Black, size medium, tyre-print stockings with gusset. This is the first time I’ve looked at these stockings in an image, they shoot really well and have a great and unusual design. They’ve been in my collection for at least 9 years and have never been used in a shoot till now.

Boudoir Image South African Photographer Pink stockings

#42 – Stockings
Pink, sheer cut off hold-up stockings. These were in a bunch that I was gifted from my aunt forever ago. I’ve used them in many shoots, especially in themed private “boudoir” shoots when I started out. The image included was shot about 9 years ago with a Johannesburg client.
The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---43-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#43 – Socks
Flesh tone and white ankle socks with floral and text print. These make me wonder who would have designed and manufactured them and why. Anyhow, I bought them at a train station Chinese supermarket while I was still studying and am yet to use them.

 

The-Collection---STOCKINGS-&-SOCKS---44-Catalogued-for-TheSofterSex

#44 – Socks
White cotton blend ankle socks with ribbing detail. These come from a sock and underwear wholesaler. They are the iconic school-girl socks obviously, I think I thought I’d use them during my years with Playboy but actually didn’t get the right opportunity.
