Cotopping with Your Camera
Class Description:
The camera often exists within a scene as a voyeur in its own right. It has the capacity to create space, presence, and emotion for better or worse. In this class we will have an exploration of what it means to include photography not as a byproduct, but as an explicit part of your scene. This will include a small amount of technical details as well as some tips and tricks, but the focus of this class is including the camera as a positive part of the scene. We will do several hands-on drills to explore various techniques along with discussion about each technique.
Pre-requisites/Additional Materials:
Something that can take a photo (phone, dslr, polaroid, etc.)
Knowledge of how to mechanically operate the device
Rope
Writing implement
About the Presenters:
Blue’s initial interest in rope was through the lens of a camera. That led to a short-lived period of self-tying that was quickly overtaken by Blue’s journey as a rope top. Blue has been tying since 2018, and they have since become an extremely sadistic rope top. In that time, they also developed a strong background of experience and passion for modifying ties for full effectiveness around nerve complications and other physical limitations. As a perpetual student, Blue believes everyone has something to teach them and will happily share anything they know in turn.
Open Studio
Any play (within LNK venue guidelines) is welcome at this open studio, so long as photography is the goal! Venue rules can be reviewed at louisvillenk.com/rules. At this studio, the venue will be set up with rope in mind. Extra floor play space and hardpoints will be set up, though the usual furniture (crosses, benches, etc) will be available too. Have a question at the party or need some help making the space work for your photo session? Talk to an event team member, identifiable by their bright yellow lanyards and safety shears!
Our venue offers:
play furniture (A frame style rigs, athletic mats, spanking benches, St. Andrews style crosses, etc)
luggage racks to store personal items and equipment
