During the filming of scene three from "Photographs," Natasha Flade had the still camera in hand, shooting photos of poor Gwendolyn in her role of Celeste, tied to the chair and fondled by Connie Sims.  When I looked at the photos, I almost immediately discarded them. Natasha was only shooting photos for the sake of her role in the movie -- they were never meant for publication. The lighting was terrible for photos and Natasha really wasn't paying any attention to what she was doing.  In addition, Connie and Gwen weren't posing: these were taken with the models moving about animatedly for the filming that was going on. But once I looked at them, I decided to post a bunch in the members' area, due to their amateurish erotic merit.

"Photographs" is our first feature DVD shot in our new location in New Mexico.  At the time we werer still painting the new house, and very little of our furnishings and none of curtains had arrived.  So we worked these deficiencies into the plot.  And another first for Centaur will be that part of this project is loads of bondage fondling.  Two of the scenes will feature Natasha Flade bound, gagged and fondled by Isaac W.  This scenario was shot with our the usual high standards as our other feature DVDs. We think you'll like the results.

With a delay of several months between the first day of shooting and the last, it looked like this would never get done.  But at long last the project was complete.  For pantyhose bondage fans, this is essential to add to your collection.  There's an abundance of close-ups of the damsel's nylon-clad feet and hose, and you can hear that distinct "swish-swish" of their pantyhosed limbs rubbing together.  And Tabitha Katz has the honor of being the character hogtied and gagged with pantyhose on-screen by Natasha Flade.  It's a scene that will take your breath away.

The Day One Crew consisted of Natasha Flade, Armani Jones and Jazmyn Taliana.  At the time, Armani and Jazmyn had no experience in the making of a feature-length bondage film.  Both have starred in other adult-entertainment videos, but not a bondage movie.  They took to the task with grace and aplomb.  Everyone was on target with their lines, their actions, and their performances when bound and gagged.  As always, mistakes were made, some funny enough to make it on the DVD in the outtakes file.

Let it be known that Tabitha Katz is a caffeine addict.  Usually she comes to a shoot with a tall coffee in hand.  This time, if I can recall correctly, she sent her boy Jesus (that's hay-ZOOS) out for a caffeinated beverage.  Anything that keeps the actresses lively for the shoot is okay with me.  Except for whatever Connie Sims was on that night. If I didn't know her so well, I would suspect cocaine or something.  But she's naturally a speedy girl.  Very speedy.

It's all about the bondage and the bare feet, this movie called "Maids, inc".  It's light-hearted, and there's nothing strange about it -- no nuns, priests, hot wax, etc.  In the pics to the left you can see that we sprinkle in a bit of fun with all the sweat we put into filming.  The sombrero came from Natasha's wedding shower which was at a Mexican restaurant.  And Miranda accepted the accessory with a gagged smile.

Every bondage position in this movie has the soles of the model at an angle the camera can zoom in on.  No feet on the floor in this vid.  Lovely soles are the primary focus.  And, in quite a departure from what we usually do, you'll see some tickling.

An odd thing happened in the filming.  Miranda has worked for Centaur for about five years, so she's no rookie to being tied and gagged.  But when I tied her elbows behind the basement post, she became a bit queasy.  After a minute of struggling, she could no longer take it and needed to be released -- she was feeling feverish and queasy.  So we just switched positions, and Tabitha took that position in the next scene of the movie.  This caused a quick and painless rewrite.  But the footage was not wasted.  You can enjoy it in all it's brief glory in Thessaly as a two minute mpeg.

It generally takes us three days to shoot a movie.  Most folks in the bondage biz are quicker on the gun and get all the footage they need in one day.  We like our drawn-out process a little better, and we think the extra time equates to a better product, at least for our discriminating customers.

Unusual to this bondage film is the props and the costumes.  After all, it is a front-to-back nude bondage flick, so most people wouldn't think of a plot that requires such extras.  But we needed a nun (rental costume) and a priest (got a real bona-fide priest shirt and collar from St. Jude's Supply), a vibrator shaped like a devil (Natasha and I already had that), and religious icons, pictures and crucifixes to decorate different rooms (eBay).  It was great fun putting together the rooms and getting in to the costumes.  I mean look at us:  pornographers dressed as the pious.  But our characters were anything but prudes:  The priest Father Mitchell (Isaac W.)  has aims of making his own sex cult, the nun Sister Angelica (Natasha Flade) wants people to purge their sin through bondage and candle wax.

A challenge was the confessional scene.  Our closet doors in the master bedroom are made of paneled wood.  With that as a backdrop we shone a light through a trellis for a patterned shadow effect.  Not too shabby.  With the piped-in choir music, the scene was a great success.

Though we had many moments of laughter which can be seen on the outtakes of the DVD, the shooting went off without any major hassles.  We got some wax on the rental nun costume, but we were able to remove the most of it.
