Hello, Shibarians!
I am a bit of a photography and 3D scanning connoisseur, and I do have experience making 3D scans of people, but as you probably can imagine it's really hard - people move, and you need them to be as still as possible for a good 3D scan. That is, when you don't have cool hundred grand for a mutil-camera rigs that Hollywood studios and some crazy enthusiasts use.
So, I searched deep within my soul and realized that I am also involved in another interesting hobby, one that renders beautiful people still for approximately the time that it takes for a good 3D scan. And so the idea for this project was born.
This is how I envision it, and I am open to any and all possible suggestions on bettering it:
You are a young woman and you enjoy having your pictures taken. But since they are 2D, you've been curious about how you look if you add one dimension to those. At the same time you are curious about shibari and rope bondage or indeed you are a pro rope bunny - all levels of familiarity with the craft are welcome. You also happen to live within couple hours drive from Philadelphia or in town on some business or pleasure.
What we do:
You: show up (whew! that was hard!)
Me: Organize everything in a hotel that's convenient for you to get to, have lights, some props, scanning app, have my rope kit with me obviously
Together: We chat a bit to relax (if we don't already know each other because if we do you already know that I'm super chill and easy going). If you never experienced rope, I will tie a few non-restrictive ties on you just to play with rope and get a feel for it. If you are a pro, we can skip that step. Or not. It's cute regardless :)
Then I tie something simple but restrictive, say a simple box tie, then tie some agura to immobilize your legs, sit you on the floor and wave my phone with a scanning app around you for 10-15-ish minutes. Then we take a break, do a different tie and a different pose, another 15 mins for scanning and then move on to the next. I am hoping that in about 5-6 hours we can go from TK to ebi, or however restrictive your physique will allow, while still having time for breaks, chatting, checking phones, drinking water etc, the normal things people do on a shibari rope play session.
We don't have to do it only once, but whether or not there will be 3D scanning next time will depend on the outcome of the first scanning session. If that does not work out great but you still like playing rope with me - I would be ecstatic to organize more sessions with you, just not so camera-oriented.
Wall of text later, I am finally getting to one tiny little important detail: since this is technically photography, just with an extra dimension, you may be wondering how I am planning to use your likeness, and I will admit to you freely that I have no freaken clue. I am just interested in the process, and I am interested in the object - you. But beyond that I can either do nothing with it or let you distribute your own 3D likeness on OF, IG or wherever your hears desires. Spam your boyfriend's messenger, haha, I don't care all that much beyond figuring out how to produce a good 3D scan of a beautiful woman in ropes. I will probably ask you to help me find a few of your good still image renders and perhaps a short walkaround video to post in r/shibari or similar for bragging, with all required attribution of course. But even that is very optional. This is not a commercial offer, I will not be compensating you for your time, except perhaps with some corny jokes :)
Interested? Perplexed but intrigued? Chat or message me here! This is a bit different from my regular shibari sessions (did I mention you are also invited to those?!), so may take a bit of time to put it together, but it won't happen for sure unless you get in touch with me, so get in touch today! See ya š¤
