Nine to Five (Patreon)

Akira Sun, Frankfurt, 2009

At that time I had my own photo studio in Frankfurt and my photography was more conceptual. I tried myself out. And so I had this crazy idea to artistically recreate an abstract office.

The office series "Nine to Five" was one of my many office series. I bought vinyl stockings for it from the expensive fetish supply. Working with those things is a huge pain in the ass.

The model barely got her skinny legs in, so tight were these rubber parts. And I had to lubricate every 5 minutes with silicone oil (so lubricant gel) the things so that they also shone.

The effort was worth it: The magazine Photographie asked me if they could have the picture as a cover. I had to stay cool inside, because it was my very first magazine cover.
