This is definitely a made-not-taken case in point. It was six weeks in the making: researching, recruiting the team, organizing props & wardrobe, bouncing ideas for "scenes" off each other ... all *before* even arriving in the studio. Then it was an energetic improv session.
It's such a completely different way of working from what I've been used to, but I felt in control and right at home. It's a long and twisty path from flower macros to garters, stockings and bustiers. Glad you like it, Frank. Thanks!
