CHILDHOOD PHOTOGRAPHS This is a true story from my childhood. I don't know how exactly it all began but I'm guessing it was an arrangement between my parents and one of their good friends who was a photographer. I was eight years old at the time when my parents asked me one day if I would like to be a model. I was delighted of course, like any little girl, and soon we were off to John's place. John was a friend of my parents. He was a professional photographer and he worked in his own little studio which was a part of his house. I liked John, who I met couple of times before, because he always loved to play games with me like hide and seek and dollhouse, which I found funny because I knew boys don't like to play with dolls. But this time, my parents told me I was going to model for him while he took photographs. I always wanted to be a model so I couldn't wait to get there. As soon as we arrived, John took us to his studio. It was one large room equipped with lights, tripods and various equipment. I saw one light was pointed to a part of the studio which was set up for a photo shoot. It was child's bed covered with silk white sheets, pillows and several toys and dolls placed in strategic corners. I saw my mom come to me and said John wanted to take some pictures of me on that bed, so she took me over and started taking off my shoes and socks. I was a bit surprised by this but she explained that John would like to tie my feet with some rope because he was working on a project where a little girl is held captive in a harem in some far off land. I kind of like the story so I went along. I wasn't nervous because my parents were in the room, but when John approached me with ropes and began tying up my bare little feet, I could almost hear heart going bump bump... I looked down where John was tying up my feet. He appeared very skilled with ropes because the knots seemed very intricate and complex and held my feet, which were crossed at ankles, very firmly together. Once he finished tying me up, he gently laid me down on the little bed and positioned my legs so they were little bent at knees, then he took his camera and began taking photographs. I saw him position his lights and most of his photographs concentrated on my bound legs. He asked me few times to pint my toes like a ballerina which I did. It wasn't hard because I was good at gymnastics and could point my toes very easily. After several minutes, he readjusted my pose. This time he tied another rope to my ankles and then used the lose end to lift my legs up and tie them to the horizontal bar above the bed. My legs were now lifted up while I still lay down on the bed. I felt my little dress fall over my waist revealing my thighs all the way down to my little panties. I looked over at where my mom was and she smiled at me which made me feel better. She even waived and I wanted to wave back, but then John took my hands and started tying them together over my head. He assured me everything will be all right and that this was only a game but I remember feeling very strange and excited. He then took my Barbie T-shirt out of my dress and pulled it up around my chest to reveal my naked tummy and then placed some stuffed toys next to me. He asked me to arch my back and then he tied one more rope around my slim waist rather tightly because I could feel it more than any other rope. I looked back to my mom and dad and saw them talking and smiling at me. Then John brought a little hand-held sprinkler with some water inside it and sprinkled my tummy and face with the water. He said it will look better that way on the photographs which he continued to take for the next half an hour. By the end of the session I was a bit tired but happy that I became a model. We all agreed that I should continue to model for John's project, which I did. From that day on, my mom or dad took me to his studio once a week for modeling sessions which always involved bondage but he asked me to pose in different costumes, so one day I was a princess, the next day a fairy or a ballerina and so on. After a few weeks, his photographs became more daring and revealing and bondage more extreme. His project revolved around a fantasy represented by his photographs, where a little girl is held captive in a harem and as time goes by, she is subjected to various scenarios of bondage, and later punishments. Even tho the subject was highly erotic he never crossed the border and took any pornographic pictures of me as it was common back in the 70s when I was growing up. However some people would say that they're still explicit or at least obscene because he photographed me when I was still a child. But no matter what the case is, I still like to remember my unusual childhood modeling sessions with John which continued until I turned thirteen.. I will post more about my photo sessions soon if everyone is interested. |
