Chalk up a first for bondage/fetish photography.
Our neverending search for new and unique locations to stage photoshoots led us to the decayed and abandoned 100-year-old hydro tunnels at Niagara Falls. We'd heard stories about these tunnels for years - but never imagined in our wildest dreams we'd ever get the opportunity to actually see them...let alone stage a shoot in them.
Under the cover of darkness in the wee hours of the morning, we found a wide-open access point - and from there managed to navigate our way through the maze of inky-black old tunnels until we arrived at the 'valve chambers' where the water flows through massive pipe conduits.
The ancient machinery dates back to the Titanic era!
Calcium-based stalagmites formed over the past hundred years hung from the ceilings. All the metal surfaces were caked with rust and dampness - sections of the tunnel were shrouded in fog caused by the cool interior air mixing with the hot, humid outside air.
After scouting around for the ideal area, we got down to business and had the model do some posing amongst the machinery. We kept it fairly simple with a minimum of props and no elaborate posing for obvious reasons. And relied heavily on flash photography since we'd only taken flashlights along on the trip.
There's something you won't see on any Niagara Falls tourist brochures.
