Brandalyn: Suite 1510

Posted on February 9, 2011

……….As soon as I arrived at the Palomar Hotel in downtown Philadelphia – I knew it was going to be a great evening. The lobby is amazing and the rooms: very upscale boutique like. I’ve shot there before and became very familiar with the layout of the place. After a brief exchange of pleasantries with the staff i then proceeded to the elevators with camera bag in hand. Little did they know what was about to occur behind closed doors in Suite 1510. Brandalyn was waiting for me – in anticipation of our meeting and first shoot.

February: Cover Shoot

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Brandalyn Raymond

………The click of a camera happens in a mere fraction of a second, capturing a moment in time. It is what the viewer interprets that tells the story. When I pose in front of the camera it is in that instant I create my fantasy. I envision the character I’m creating and the pleasure it will bring to a woman or man. I’m aroused by the thought of holding an unseen audience captivated.

I have a passion for life and find confidence with my sexuality. To me erotic art is a form of self expression and consequently have always been questioned by my motives. Friends and family wonder why it is I’d rather pose nude with a crop and not grace a swimsuit calendar, or do high fashion. “No, I was not traumatized as a child.” Erotic art has always been more expressive and empowering as a woman and exposes a more natural beauty.

Brandalyn Raymond

In public I create my own sense of style, but find myself constrained by the burdens of everyday life and the judgments of others. As a woman my sexuality is a large part of who I am. Modeling has always been a release for me. It allows me to create a character, live in the moment and unleash my own fantasies and fetishes.

A day prior to my shoot, I began to get nervous. Intimidation set in as I compared my body against Tony’s other female models that I lusted over. I contemplated whether I could exude the same erotic energy they gave in their pictures. I came to realize that these beautiful women are merely acting in their own element, which gave me comfort.

The energy created between Tony and I filled the room with inviting and alluring possibilities. His creative mind set the mood for the shoot and my body followed suit, letting go of its entire ego. Together we struck a perfect balance, connecting model and photographer as one.

To be continued……….!
