James was nervous as he approached the door, this was his first ever client. He had been taking photographs for years but had never been hired by an actual client before now.
The client was a friendly woman named Lisa who had found his work online and reached out to him about doing a photoshoot. They had chatted for a while working out locations, styles and general scenes. He had explained to her that he had never done a live photoshoot professionally before and was very nervous about doing a good job for her.
Just as he was about to knock on the door it opened and standing before him was a beautiful woman, she must have seen him walking up the garden. "Hello, I'm James the photographer" he said introducing himself as she invited him in with a smile.
"Have you ever had a shoot before?" James asked as he looked around the room she had suggested for the scene. "No, it was something I always wanted to do but never had the confidence before." She replied. James noticed she seemed as nervous as he was, he thought she looked too sweet and innocent to be doing a boudoir style shoot. But she offered to pay a generous amount to an amateur, he'd be foolish to turn it down. "Would you like anything to drink?" She asked while heading to the kitchen. "A black coffee would be wonderful please, you're my first ever client, I've been so anxious about doing a good job for you I've hardly slept." He replied. As he started to get things set up he heard the kettle being filled and cups being prepared. "I hope that won't affect your performance" she shouted through while laughing.
The fact that she laughed seemed to set James at ease giving him a feeling that she understood. He was busy unpacking his camera and equipment as she walked in with the drinks. They both sat and chatted a bit about the styling and poses she wanted and was comfortable with. After his coffee he suggested when she feels ready she get herself comfortable while he sets everything up.
He just about had everything ready to go when she walked back in wearing a lilac silk dressing gown that stopped just above the knees. She looked absolutely stunning and instantly James was struck with nerves again.
"Well where do you want me?" She asked, breaking the silence. "Let's start on the couch" James said checking his camera again. Lisa sat on the couch, crossed her legs and leant slightly down allowing the shoulder of her gown to fall. "Is this OK?" She asked. James looked back up and was struck again by her beauty, there was something about her deep blue eyes that mesmerised him. "That's perfect" he replied all the while thinking to himself he needs to remain focused on the job and be professional.
He snapped a handful of photos from different angles before she climbed off the couch and sat on the floor and changed poses. This time she was sat with her hands behind her with one leg up, allowing the gown to ride up just enough that she was still modest but looked suggestive. She's a natural, I haven't had to say or suggest anything, James thought to himself. He managed to get a fee more photos in when he felt his eyesight starting to blur, thinking he was just overtired he put his camera down and got his glasses out of his bag. He hated wearing them while shooting as they got in the way of the viewfinder. As he picked the camera back up she was lying down on her front pushing herself up just enough for the gown to open revealing her cleavage. James really couldn't believe this was her first time modelling, she must have been preparing herself for a while before this. He was glad, it made the job so much easier for him. He got a few more pictures when she suggested they get some from a different room.
She led James upstairs to the bedroom and got some more photos from different positions on the bed. James could feel his eyesight getting worse and suggested a quick break. Lisa seemed glad and offered another drink so they started to head back downstairs to get another coffee. James didn't make it three steps down the stairs before everything went black.
When he came to he found himself kneeling in a dark room. He tried to stand up but found his hands and feet had been cuffed and chained to the floor. Panicking he began to look around and check his surroundings. The walls were padded so screaming wouldn't help, he tried to turn his neck and felt something pull, he'd been collared and that too was chained to the floor. What happened? He thought to himself, he couldn't remember anything from the past day. Last thing he could remember was discussing the shoot with the client, the rest drew a complete blank. He didn't know how long he had been there but guessed it had been a while, his entire body hurt, most likely he assumed due to the awkward position he was in.
