Ayumi walked into the front room of the building, and was greeted by the bubbly assistant Monica. They exchanged brief pleasantries, commented on the fact that John was really excited about this latest idea for a photo shoot, and then Ayumi disappeared down the corridor.
John was already in Studio 3, the room designed specifically for fetish-related shoots, primarily BDSM. He was working with one of the lights, perhaps diagnosing a malfunctioning switch.
"Hey, John! Great idea for today's photo shoot!"
John looked up and grinned, a facial expression which revealed the gap from having a tooth punched out in a bar brawl a few weeks earlier. "I think so as well, and of all the fetish models I work with, you came to mind immediately for this one."
Ayumi reached the photographer and gave him a big hug. "Thanks," she said softly. "That means a lot to me."
"So will the exposure," John responded. "I mentioned the idea to a friend, and he immediately wanted to use it for a fetish greeting card. He has a few card phrases in mind already that would work."
Picturing thousands of people seeing her image, seeing her naked and bound and fully vulnerable, caused Ayumi to grin.
Of course, the pay increase for nude modeling caused her grin to widen.

Instead of calling in an assistant – much to Ayumi's relief – John took the time himself to secure the young Asian woman to the massive chain spider web along one wall of the small studio. No cuffs were to be used this time. Instead, silver chain was clipped to the spider web, wrapped repeatedly around a wrist or an ankle, then clipped again to the spider web. Similar wrappings were made just above each elbow and each knee, around the waist, around the chest above and below her breasts, and even around the neck. The chain used both for the spider web and for her bondage was thick and heavy, and shined nicely in the lights.
