"Do I need to make any special preparations for the shoot?"
I could tell what he was hinting at and I replied in the most professional and straightforward manner possible. "Well, since we will be doing some shots with insertable toys, you will need to be very clean," I paused and then to be sure he got my intent, "Internally that is."
"That's no problem." Buddy chirped, " I am looking forward to the shoot and working with you. See you at the studio at 9:00."
As I hung up the phone, I pictured Buddy: bright smile, deep blue eyes, square jaw, buzzed blond hair and a perfect body. Really perfect! Chiseled muscles, 6-pack abs, flawless skin and a beautiful butt. I guess that what it takes to be a model?
I was shooting products for a local leather shop and Buddy had been selected by the shop owners as their signature model. Though there would be a few other models in the catalog, Buddy was the star, and rightfully so. His winning smile had sold thousands of dollars in underwear for another local retailer and the leather shop wanted some of that success to rub off. Besides, this was their first print catalog and they wanted to make a splash. With Buddy gracing its pages, they would!
The following morning my stylist had already unpacked the boxes of clothing, accessories and toys sent over by the shop. Sheila had them neatly arranged in rows on a couple of 8-foot tables near the entrance to the dressing and makeup room. To her, this might as well have been a fashion accessory shoot for shoes and handbags. Sheila was a pro, and she could keep track of hundreds of products and prep them to look their best on camera in record time. Since most of what we were shooting was leather, she had pushed her steamer and ironing board into the corner, and replaced them with a small table of leather care products and polishes to make everything gleam.
For this shoot, my friend Tony would be doing hair and makeup, though not much would be needed with Buddy's natural good looks. To tell the truth Tony had agreed to a half-day rate since he probably would have minimal work, but he wanted to stay around to see Buddy in the buff. Tony would never do anything unprofessional, but he should at least get some reward for cutting his rate!
Buddy arrived 15 minutes early, a good sign for any model, since being late costs everyone time and money. I had finished setting up my basic lighting on a seamless sweep near one corner of the studio where I would shoot the full body shots, and a smaller table top sweep of white Plexiglas where I would shoot product close ups.
Sheila took care of the list and I kept track of the owners notes for the products and how he felt they would look best. The shop owner was being very hands-off for this project which made things go much faster and to tell the truth, would end up with a better product in the final catalog. While I was putting the final touches on the basic lighting Tony emerged from the dressing area and walked up to me. "Well you were telling the truth for a change, he really is perfect." Tony moved in to whisper, "Are you sure he is real?"
I raised an eyebrow at Tony, "Oh he's real, wait till you see him in action!"
Tony fanned himself with a fluttering hand. " Be still my beating heart! By the way, he's ready whenever you are."
"Sheila, what's the first outfit?"
" Let's start with the harnesses." Sheila was buffing the last strap on a complex looking contraption of leather and chains.
"Well Tony," I smiled," do your magic and get him into it, chop-chop!"
"Will do boss!"
By the time I had finished making final adjustments to my camera gear, Tony emerged with Buddy in tow. He was wearing a leather full-body harness with a matching leather jock. Thanks to Sheila's handiwork it gleamed and Buddy's firm physique made it look even better.
"Looks terrific!" I said as I guided Buddy to a position near the center of the white seamless background.
"Let's start with a few shots to warm up. Just keep moving Buddy; I want this merchandise to look like it is made for use, not just posing. "
Buddy took the cue and began to move; striking several poses that showed off his hot body and the sexy harness. Sheila turned up the boom box on her table and I began snapping away. If I had been shooting film, I would have taken a few Polaroids first just to check the lighting, however this shoot was digital, and no such tests were necessarily.
Buddy was getting into the shoot as well, Finding ways to pose in the sexy harness that made him look even hotter that when we started. After I had shot about 45 shots I told buddy to loose the jock, so we could see the harness in full. With that instruction, Buddy started a sexy striptease; unsnapping the leather jock and letting it barely cover his cock and balls in a few poses before discarding it entirely.
Even Sheila, was fixated on Buddy, and she has seen it all. This guy was sex personified a good choice for this shoot.
Buddy was looking over his shoulder, at the camera, the black shiny leather straps crisscrossing his back and once strap trailing down between his firm round buttocks, then he turned for a profile shot and I gasped. His cock was rock hard and protruding a good 8 inches from the silver cock ring attached to the harness. I kept shooting, trying desperately to ignore the raging boner between my own legs.
Then he turned directly toward the camera, his huge throbbing hard on looking impossibly large in the distortion of the lens.
"Well, this might not sell the harness, but it sure will sell the catalog", I joked trying to ease any tension.
Buddy chuckled, "Sorry about the wood, but this cock ring on the harness is kinda tight."
"Don't worry, " I told him as I took a few final shots. "It makes the merchandise look even sexier. Think you can change into the next harness without hurting yourself?"
Tony walked up and handed Buddy a cold wet towel. "Here this will bring that monster back under control in no time."
As Buddy went back to the dressing area, Tony looked over his shoulder" Pity to waste that lovely piece of meat, but we have a long day ahead of us."
I changed out memory chips in the camera and took a break for a cup of coffee while Buddy changed into the next outfit. This was turning out to be a very interesting shoot after all. Sheila walked by with the next harness.
"Hope he is ready for this one" she smiled". It has a little surprise attachment" She held up a black rubber butt plug. "But never fear, She quipped, holding up a tube of lube," We have all the accessories." With that she headed off to the dressing room and handed the harness to Tony. He smiled and closed the dressing room door.
In a few minutes, buddy emerged again, dressed in the new harness and sporting another massive erection. Tony followed him this time, a towel in his hands, wiping the last of some lube from his fingers. He winked conspiratorially at me and moved a position beside the camera.
Buddy was a bit flushed, but I suppose I would be too with a big rubber butt plug deep in my ass. "You feeling good?" I asked.
Buddy smiled a little sheepishly, "Yea, you could say that. Glad this plug wasn't any larger though."
We began working again and Buddy showed off the harness to it's fullest advantage, even giving me a very revealing and hot bent over view of the retaining strap that held the butt plug in place. I was beginning to wonder if the store wouldn't do better to just sell the catalogs.
After I had enough shots, I gave Buddy a well-deserved break, and shot some tabletop shots of boots and accessories. Sheila was at her best with this kind of work, she could arrange and style products better than anyone. As we worked, she glanced down at the still present bulge in my jeans.
"Looks like he is having an effect on you too."
