  “She was photographer Spencer Tunick’s girlfriend back then. I met her through him. She was real cute, real young, and was up for anything. This photo is from a time when I didn’t think anything of doing something weird with my models. Right after this setup, I shot her in another archway in my apartment, hanging upside down. The ropes broke and she just bounced on her head. It freaked me out! That’s when I realized that I have to watch what I do because if she broke her neck and I had the cops up here and she’s all tied up and dead, naked except for combat boots, what am I going to say? ‘We were just taking some photos’?”

I had the cops up here and she’s all tied up and dead, naked except for combat boots, what am I going to say?

These chicks are up for ANYTHING, but do you think you can get them to sign a release? Nooooooo.

I think a model release would be helpful, but I think you're still going to have a hard time explaining why there's a dead naked girl in ropes and combat boots on your floor.

Methinks the photographer should learn proper rope-suspension techniques before tying models to the ceiling. I'm pretty sure there are workshops for that...

[crasch.livejournal.com]

Agreed. But did such workshops exist in 1990? My sense is that such fetishes have become much more widespread/mainstream since the advent of the internet.

They were probably a lot harder to find... I know I certainly wasn't aware of such things before the internet age.
