It was a very hard shoot for everyone. Physically and mentally it put everyone to the test.
It was a long preparation for me, including research and planning.
Mario brought 2 tons of equipment and we took nearly 800 pictures.
I arrived at the dungeon 2 hours before the photoshoot to clean up and prepare both the material and myself for a long shoot — more than 5 hours.
When Amanda arrived, I told her to go prepare herself while I discussed the process with Mario, the photographer.
When ready, we talked for 20 minutes about the scene, the training limits, and safety. On her agreement we began.
I taught her a few rules — very basic ones.
Eyes down, no lies, no crossing legs, to say thanks for everything, and to call me Sir. Some other ones during the play.
Her training was also about 10 basic Gorean positions.
It was not so easy to learn — when she got them wrong… it meant punishment.
Nadu, she-sleen, display, leash, bara, and some others.
She had to explain each of them to me during her examination.
Amanda was very nervous about the shoot.
Lots of stress for a first time — she survived, and she told me she would maybe come back one day, but not right away.
If we have enough material for the book we will publish it.
Training of A.
