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 Maidenform Bonnie Cashin ad project
Working with Chiara tends to inspire me with strange or surreal ideas. This shoot was based on a 1961 magazine advert for Maidenform girdles. Basically it involved taking two images of the model, one in a girdle and another shot of her wearing the same girdle under her dress. The two images were stitched together [...]

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.

Heather modelling structured swimwear and corsetry
Airline hostess, singer and model Heather is a very beautiful and talented young lady. She also has silky blonde hair and a fabulously curvy figure that looks particularly wonderful in good, old-fashioned corsetry and swimwear. We really love this sort of shoot here at waist.it
Chiara tidies the studio
Chiara is not merely a very talented retro model. She is also my researcher, shoot organiser, model trainer and she organises the studio. Those familiar with this site will know that often when she is sorting out the place or tidying up the studio, she replaces her normal clothes with a t-shirt, bra and panty [...]

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 [...]

Laura retro
Fantastic second retro shoot with the beautiful Laura, featuring old style swimwear and corsetry, with a bit of fitness thrown-in! Laura picked up the retro concept very quickly indeed. The images she helped create are truly reminiscent of a bygone era.

Laura modelling retro swimwear and corsetry
Fantastic first retro shoot with the beautiful Laura, featuring old style swimwear and corsetry, with a bit of fitness thrown-in! Laura seems to love retro, which is great because she certainly has the perfect figure for it. The images she helped create are truly reminiscent of a bygone era.
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.
Chiara bra and girdle exercises
Chiara puts on a bra wriggles into a girdle – worn as hotpants – and teams this up with a matching top, then tidies up the studio. Occasionally she pauses to do some tummy exercises. Meanwhile we follow her with a camera and snap her whenever she does anything particularly interesting or photogenic.

Chiara and Heather retro fitness
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. The concept was to shape each other’s figures using a mixture of exercise, posture and shapewear. We start, however, with a few snaps of Jade solo, wearing a delightfully form-fitting Cheongsam over her shapewear.

Chiara tidies the studio – shoot #1
First of three shoots from September 2006, where I follow Chiara around as she goes about her various chores. Dubbed “t-shirt and girdle” shoots, Chiara wears a tight, figure-forming pantie-girdle as a pair of bum-hugging hot pants. Instead of using my usual studio camera, I used a Panasonic Lumix LX1 point-and shoot. Due to its [...]

Chiara and Sara retro fitness and corsetry
Today we did one of our best retro-fitness shoots so far. Here we see regular model Chiara, teaching deportment and retro posing techniques to pretty physical education undergraduate student, Sara.

Features a nice variety of retro bras, girdles, 60′s style bikinis and 50′s/80′s one-piece swimsuits. Dee is a fabulous find, with her slim figure, long legs and flat tummy. She took to retro amazingly well, as the following pictures clearly demonstrate. And she got her revenge on [...]

Chiara t-shirt and girdle fitness shoot
Classic “T-shirt and girdle” fitness shoot with Chiara. Today she uses the nag-board that she normally hangs off-camera when she works with other models to remind them about their posture. 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 [...]

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 [...]
