I had the opportunity to photograph Rachael during her tour, and edited a few new photos from our sitting: that have not been previously published.

……….Rachael arrived at the hotel early for the shoot. Considering that she came from so far away, I was a bit surprised by the timeliness of her arrival. She arrived with her American boyfriend Liam, who was a delight to have hang around the hotel while we were working. Boyfriends can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Liam was just the opposite.

……….My love Liam is originally from the US, and he planned a two-week trip for us – so he could bring me home to meet the folks, see his hometown, meet his friends and get a taste of the United States. We are planning on moving there permanently in a few years, so it’s good to get acquainted with the culture etc., early on. I must say, traveling through America was quite something. We took a mini road trip down the Northeast coast, from Boston, MA to Ocean City, MD – making stops in New Haven, CT, Wilmington, DE and Philadelphia PA.

It was fantastic to get to see everything for real. The first week we were there, I was mostly overwhelmed by how big everything was, and how tiny my hometown of Rotterdam, The Netherlands is – in comparison to American cities and how much cheaper everything was in USD. American food is amazing. I enjoyed every single second of being there!

……….As I mentioned before, that first catsuit changed my life. Before that moment, I already had a big thing for high heels, red lipstick, smoking, stockings, garters and corsets – Femininity. Discovering the joys of latex opened up a new realm for me. I’ve mainly done shoots in latex ever since. I love the variety of garments available. There’s full fetish and fetish haute couture and everything in between, and I love it all. I won’t wear it all, but I love that it’s available.

I’m sad that I have difficulties wearing hoods, I would love to experience being covered in latex from head to toe. However, I’m claustrophobic and suffer from panic attacks in specific situations. Wearing a hood will trigger my ‘there’s no escape’ anxiety and I will start hyperventilating. I have high hopes for the future though. My boyfriend Liam and I drove through a tunnel the other day and I managed to get through it without needing to close my eyes (tunnels are another trigger), so hopefully -fingers crossed- I will be able to wear a latex hood someday. Or try out a vacuum-bed.

……….Fetish outfits make me feel super sexy and very feminine, and I love having pictures of myself displaying all of that feeling. So I started planning shoots with whoever wanted to work with me. I wanted to gain experience and learn and be the best that I could be – in order to reach the goals I had set for myself. Even though I thoroughly enjoy modeling, it’s not just a hobby. I have had side-jobs since I was thirteen years old. Working hard is not a foreign concept to me. It wasn’t easy to let my mother in on the modeling though.

I was temporarily living back home when I started out, so I couldn’t not say anything. My mother comes from a fairly conservative background, and even though she raised me to make my own decisions and stand up for myself, I was worried she wouldn’t accept her only daughter doing sexy weird stuff. When I told her about the nature of fetish, she didn’t like the sound of things at all. But when I showed her the pictures I had taken she relaxed. She saw that exploring your femininity outside of mainstream boundaries is not necessarily selling just your sex-appeal, or vulgar for that matter. She’s been plaguing me with requests to go and buy her a corset for a while now, and recently even tried on a pair of my fetish heels.
