Another great burlesque performance

Vita DeVoid (https://www.facebook.com/VitaDeVoid), a jack of all trades, hosted and performed in a burlesque show at Eclipse in Jacksonville, Florida, this past weekend.  I've seen her perform a few times and she always puts on a great show.

Not only did she dance and MC, but she also did a brief sideshow.  Here she is having a nail that she nailed into her nose removed by an audience volunteer's mouth.

This is probably one of my favorite shots.  From a distance, it looks sweet and romantic, but upon closer examination, you see the nail he's pulling out of her nose with his teeth.

And the fire play!  Let's not forget about the fire play.

Savage Burlesque at Eclipse

Event photography covers so many different areas of life that the only reason you can get bored as an event photographer is if you allow yourself to get bored.

Sometimes I'm photographing a club opening and the patrons having a good time.  Other times it is a group of friends having a night out and want photos as keepsakes.  And other times it is a fetish show at a club.  This past weekend was just such an event.

There was something going on around every corner.

From fireplay...

to classic burlesque...

to audience participation with rope play...

and foot worship...

to milk and latex...

to a girl in a straight jacket and dental restraint...

The night had plenty of visual stimulation for all.  I look forward to the next show and hope to see you there!

Awesome burlesque performance in Jacksonville

Hello, Readers!

I'm testing out a new way of showing photos to you.  Do you prefer this way, or the way I have been doing it where I just post a few, larger images?

The rest of the images can be viewed under the events section of the albums here on my site.

Fetish, Burlesque, Concert, and Fun

On Friday night, an assorted group of Burlesque and Fetish groups and performers joined together to put on a great set of performances at Brewster's Megaplex in Jacksonville, FL.  While I did not have a photopass, nor did I have any specific magazine in mind for the photos, I'm always excited to shoot a live show.

I also came up with a few ideas for future posts.  In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite images from the night.
