Fiona and Tanya retro-fitness shoot
Just enjoyed a fabulous shoot with talented dancer Fiona and her retro-enthusiast friend Tanya. The idea was to dress the pair of them in 1950′s and 1960′s swimsuits, girdles and corsets and do one of our retro workout sessions, where we concentrate on achieving that perfect retro hourglass shape. For most of the shoot Fiona, [...]

Fiona retro shoot
Just had an absolutely fantastic retro shoot with Fiona. She is a very hard working and talented model and a thoroughly nice person to work with. In fact, she was so keen that she had done her hair and make-up, perfectly, before she arrived at the shoot so that we didn’t waste an time. The [...]
Sarah’s third post-pregnancy shoot
This is the third of a series of photo shoots, intended to document Sarah’s progress as she gets back into shape after given birth to two healthy babies. Readers may recall that Sarah ended her second shoot enjoying a deportment session with Chiara. It went really rather well, so we decided to get them together [...]

Sarah’s first post-pregnancy shoot
Just got back in touch with Sarah after four years. Back in 2007 Sarah did a couple of splendid shoots with us. But then things went quiet. Turns out that she has given birth to two happy, healthy babies and is embarking upon a fitness programme to get back into shape. This seems like a [...]
Chiara 10 years of shooting
I first worked with Chiara way back 2001-06-09. In that time we have done dozens of shoots and taken many thousands of pictures. In that time we have become good fiends and done many projects together. Whilst it has always been brilliant fun, it has also been a lot of work, and poor Chiara has [...]
Chiara girdle review
In the tradition of our old Zona project, we asked Chiara to do another modern girdle review shoot. Only this time we decided not merely to photograph the garments, but also to sum up Chiara’s opinions in pictures So here we have two low-cost but nicely-made new black panty girdles bought via eBay. Girdle 1 [...]
Cara Mascara and Chiara
Cara Mascara’s first shoot with waist.it, choreographed by Chiara. Cara is a very pretty young lady. With a little help from Chiara, she got the hang of retro very quickly indeed.
Chiara and Heather Pink Shoot
This shoot was entirely Heather’s own idea. In this “pink-themed” shoot, Heather teams up with regular waist.it model Chiara. Chiara’s role was to help Heather pose with that classic retro pin-up body shape, so we could capture some authentic-looking retro dressing-room pictures.
Claire and Heather
Regular model Heather brought her friend Claire along for a shoot, one fine spring day. This was the result.
Chiara and Laura retro fitness shoot
Regular model Chiara teaches Laura the art of creating that authentic retro body shape. Using Chiara’s tried-and tested methods of good posture and good corsetry, both young ladies go on to create some fantastic imagery. This shoot works particularly well because the models take it in turn to help each other achieve that perfect hourglass [...]
Heather
Musician and model Heather appears in a solo for her personal retro fitness and corsetry shoot, in the hope of creating some images she can use on her new CD cover.

Today, regular waist.it model Chiara teaches Heather how to do the retro thing.
Chiara and Jade
Models Chiara and Jade dressed in very figure-shaping bras and girdles, as they model for a particularly productive retro fitness shoot.

We start, however, with a few snaps of Jade solo, wearing a delightfully form-fitting Cheongsam over her shapewear.
Shelley

It reads simply “Shoulders back, tummy in and smile!“. She also models a nice blue Chinese bra and panty girdle set, teamed up with a [...]
Chiara tight belt
Part of this shoot borrows heavily from pictures of 1950′s pin-up Betty Brosmer. Here we study what happens when Chiara pulls her tummy right in and then ties a belt tightly at her waist to keep it in! We did manage to grab a few more relaxed snaps of Chiara modelling some rather nice dancewear [...]

Despite her ordeal last time, Chiara’s best friend Annie returns for as second “taming the hippie chick” shoot.

Chiara and Debbie
We finally managed to get Chiara and another waist.it regular Debbie a joint retro fitness shoot. Both girls are very familiar with posing for retro-style pictures, and both are used to working with other models, and sculpting them to achieve the desired retro shape. So it was rather good fun to film such experienced retro [...]
Alison and Chiara
Chiara teaches Alison how to pose the retro way. Alison is an experienced model, but this is only her second retro style shoot. Meanwhile Chiara has become very experienced at creating that curvy hourglass silhouette. So, using a mixture of corsetry and exercise, Chiara was able to gently but firmly help Alison mould her body [...]

Yet another shoot in our Halloween series. This time, Chiara is joined again by Carrie.

Carrie and Chiara halloween
Continuing our Halloween theme, today Carrie and Chiara did a fabulous, but unconventional retro fitness and Halloween shoot. Carrie hadn’t shot with waist.it for a while. And she had two babies since her last shoot. We thought it would be fun if Chiara spent some of the shoot helping Carrie get back in shape and [...]
Chiara halloween 2
We decided to pursue the Halloween theme a little further today. Chiara tried a zip-front panty-girdle from Hong Kong, Waist nipper girdle by Maidenform, and a variety of one piece body shapers and leotards. She said she would try anything as long as it was black, made her bum look good, kept her tummy flat, [...]
Chiara tiny waist
Another shoot focussing on Chiara’s waist and tummy. He we use a mixture of exercise and corsetry to get images of her waist at its tiniest. Be sure to check out the floor shots near the end of the shoot, as she rounds off the shoot with some more of her amazing tummy tucking exercises. [...]
Chiara tiny waist fitness shoot
Following on from the last couple of shoots where we discovered just what sculptable belly Chiara had, we decided to use this shoot to squeeze and emphasise Chiara’s tiny waist as much as we could. So we used a mixture of tricks, including girdles, corset top, baby oil (to make her shiny and show her [...]
Chiara fitness
This studio shoot with Chiara started out as a retro fitness shoot, following on from yesterday’s belly-dance shoot. But it soon became a general rummage through the props-box, trying on new outfits. However we did manage to snap fabulous some shots of her with an amazingly flat, pulled-in little belly, as she demonstrated her tummy-tucking [...]
