Sailor St. Claire
This was my first shoot with a hired model. I was invited to the Erotic Art Festival by Chris Crites and I felt that I should shoot something fitting. I wanted to stay on the playful sexuality so I figured a burlesque dancer would be fun to shoot. Sailor St. Claire dances in a troupe called the Tempting Tarts Burlesque and here are two of the best shots from that night. For some reason, many of the plates shot that night did not survive because the collodion was not sticking to the glass- it was so goddamn frustrating but I want to thank Sailor for her extreme patience.
