Candle Wax

So, I have a lady wanting me to play with candle wax for photos. Besides the standard "how to" safety speech... I really am having a hard time finding some erotic not- explicit not-bdsm extreme photos for inspiration. Sexy candle light photos work as well.

Maybe I just don't have the proper search strings.. *sigh*..

Can anyone link to a tumblr or two that might help?

Kinda like these..

I don't have anything on candle wax. But here is my attempt at a candle lit effect:



I used a tungsten Fresnel spotlight camera left, and very slightly higher than Bella's head to just skim past the candelabra (best buy I ever made at a flea market). The tungsten light is close to the color of candle light (of course, since these are electric candles they are exactly the same color I guess). Since candle light would be considered "hard" as it's a small source, yet very dim and flickering, I also used a Zeiss Softar filter, then painted in local contrast to enhance detail where wanted (eyes etc.) with Topaz Detail.

Then, dodged and burned in Adobe Camera Raw, and finally used a curves layer dropping the overall illumination way down and painting back the light where I wanted it with a soft black brush set at an opacity of around 7 or 8 on the curves layer mask.

In John Altman's book, "Painting with Light" he describes the way they did it in movies back in the 30's by constructing an artificial candle with an electric light in the side facing the talent. I've bought a small dome slave strobe to do the same with a candle today but haven't gotten around to it.

I haven't any links to pics or videos, but a suggestion to NOT use drip less candles.

These require much more heat to melt and actually cause burns and possibly blisters when used for erotic play.

Candles that 'run' or drip wax require less heat and while causing slight discomfort and some reddening of the skin, actually cause little to no skin irritation.

Good luck!

omfg this looks hot!!! (no pun intended)





the best part is that I have a couple of pictures of a provider who let me pour candle wax on her and take pictures of her wearing the candle wax on her body. eeeekkkk, now I'm going to edit the pictures of her wearing candle wax and make myself a news wallpapers for my electronic devices

sorry I can'tz share, she'll kill me

This is my personal picture with sounds and wax.
This is on subject and my own picture.
This should be okay to post here under ANOTHER ReALM.

She was looking for ideas for a shoot for a female. Not sure how cock pics and a flag sticking up help that request along....

I suppose the same shot could be made without the cock and with a woman instead??

Thank you, shortstroke.
It takes imagination, and effort.
Thank you.

I specifically said "not explicit not bdsm extreme".... that would be EXACTLY what you posted. Totally not useful to me.

Thank you Iaintliein. I know simulating candlelight is really hard... this is going to be a total experiment on both fronts. Candle wax itself and the lighting/photography side as well.

I have gotten a few really great pics sent to my email. TY everyone, keep em coming. Y'all rock.

It is NOT an ad.
It is NOT extreme.
It is WAX.

It is also quite patriotic!

There is a lot to be said for being as stiff as a flagpole.

Good picture goddess.
