Collection of hoisery models

[barbie]

I tend to be enthralled with photos of hoisery models. In my country, those photos are not so much esthetic, but I see a lot of them in the US or European countries. Professional photographers certainly work on them. Those photos are not so much sexual, but erotic and fetishistic. I enjoy watching them, especially for slim waist and feminine leg lines. Here are some of photos I think are not only artistic but require a lot of experience and labor to produce.

How about you? Please introduce links of  photos of hoisery models you prefer here.

Hosery illustrations are perhaps a less celebrated aspect of product photography. I've done some product photography myself and there are some special techniques to making things appealing to buyers. Photographing them with a suitable model adds to the complexities, for sure. I believe there are models that specialize in this type of work, just as there are models that do hand, foot and even ear work.

I've never tried modeling in hosiery myself before, but I saw some of you in another thread, Barbie and I thought your legs were basically indistinguishable from the pros. I wonder if any male models do this type of modeling? You often don't see their heads or chest areas. I wonder if Andrej Pejic has done any?

Hi, Lyric,

People can focus better on certain parts of body when not showing the face of model. Without showing the face, the body parts could look more mysterious and fetishistic.

Yes. I tried modeling myself about 7 years ago. The most challening ones to mimic were those of Calvin Klein products. I realized that CK photographs are indeed creative. I always sigh at  the meagerness of my hips. A consolation was that there are some models whose hips are as thin as mine, such #5, #9, #12, and #15 in the collection. But looking carefully, their hips are anyway bigger than mine.  This makes me be sure that these models are biological women. To have bigger hips, I sometimes wish to get HRT. But, it is too late at my age.

I especially envy the voluminous hips of the model at #13.



Of course, the camera angle and aperture is critical in contrasting the big hips with the slim waist.

I always tell people to never berate their own looks based upon comparison to professional photography. Such images are made by experts at making bodies look better than they are. I've seen quite a few professional models in real life and they usually look pretty plain and shapeless to me.I think a model is generally chosen because she makes a good blank slate, so to speak. It's the wardrobers, cosmeticians and photographers that make them beautiful.  Most all women have figure issues they deal with and, true, we have more to deal with than most. I quite being self conscious about my body awhile back, though. Life is too short to waste time on such things. It's better to just deal with it. The right dress or undergarment will give us all the hip emphasis we want.

In retrospect, I have always been enthralled by hoisery model photos since my 10s. When I was in the military service at my 20s and had a chance to wear silk stockings to avoid foot blister, some fellows used to comment that my legs perfectly looked like those in hoisery ads. This makes me speculate that I tend to be unconsciously attracted to women whose appearance is similar to mine. Some friends hypothesized that many people tend to seek their own image from the opposite gender, because the most familar image is the one we see everyday through the mirror.

One of my cousins was a fashion model at her 20s. At my 20s, we seldom met, but she once visited my home in Seoul while wearing hot pants in summer. In Seoul, there are all kinds of beautiful girls, but her slim legs were still so much striking. At that time, I just envied her for being able to wear hot pants, not for her legs. Nowadays, at my 40s, I sometimes wear hot pants, attracting the same attention she once probably enjoyed. And, more than that, I travel around the world.
