Remembering back to my photo shoot with Sante D’Orazio – November 16th, the morning of … I woke up super early… headed straight to the shower to try to compose myself,  I needed to relax. My emotions were fluttering with so much excitement.  I soaked under the warm water spraying down at me for what seem to be an hour but really 20 minutes.  I had to find that poise I needed to carry on with my day.  I finally stepped out of the misty washroom and I called my partner Raoul – he was joining me and I needed to coordinate with him.  While I dressed, I also gathered all my toys, trinkets, shoes, stockings, and my corset.   All the things that I might use or need for my photo shoot.

I am shooting with Sante … I am shooting with Sante  - Is all I kept chanting in my head!

Raoul and I met at 9am and we made our way over to our first meeting point – Sante’s office! I was impressed on how well he had archived his work.  Everything was so neat and organized but why would I expect anything less.  I really LOVED his office – it  was a loft that had a semi industrial but clean, airy, artistic and sophisticated feel.  Light flooded the room from the 2 huge windows.  On his walls,  pictures of all the actresses and actors he had shot during the course of his career.  Books of sexy Pamela Anderson on one shelf and other books that I never even new he had published on another – all incredible work!   I felt like I found a gold mine or a library filled with photographic treasures!   While Raoul and I remained in Santes’ office waiting, we met his crew and they were all hot, smart women working for him – NICE!

We all left, including his assistants and we descended to our location where Sante D’Orazio would be meeting us!

LOCATION:  The Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel NYC…  Windows wrapped this room from floor to ceilings.  Who ever designed this room only had one thought in mind and that was “SEXY!”  We had an incredible panoramic view of  New York City along with the Jersey skyline, so exquisite and beautiful.  The sun bursted through the windows creating the room to be extra hot for us to shot in… Yumm!

We all started to set up.   Raoul got his video camera out and started recording the process.  I laid out all of my things so we can make a final selection.    His assistant, all very professional, started to set up for Sante and soon enough… Sante rolls in with his cup of coffee in one hand, sun glasses on and he was wearing hot leather pants – just like a rock star!   Personally,  I think this man is incredible and not to mention super sexy  - how can you not want to get undressed for him – lol!  I was happy to see him.  Sante is a dear friend and  he has been a wonderful mentor to me.  He gave me a huge hug and kiss and then we got started…

Let the games begin!

I have to say, it has always been easy for me to set my own stage and shoot myself.  It’s usually me and me alone. There is an intimacy that I value when I am in front of my own camera – anything really goes but there is a fresh new element, a divergent feeling from when someone else is with you and they possess the control – Now it somehow turns into a show! This day I had an audience  and I needed to perform but none of that seem to matter because Sante made me feel like it was just him and I in that room alone!

Sante made me ease up quiet easily and rapidly.  I mean, let me be clear on this… I had two not one videographer, 3 assistants and Sante in that room with me … While I laid stark naked!  But all the while I was just performing for one person and that was Sante. He and I alone in that sexy room!

“it’s you and your man and you guys where the last one in the room after a night out… Everyones gone and now you need to let him know you want him … seduce him Karin!” _ Sante D’Orazio

Electricity pulsated through my veins – I felt like I was 7 feet tall and I was the star of my own show! I was at my best… Sante brought the diva out of me. It was sexy, and so damn smoldering HOT! I felt like I was on fire…  I started out by crawling around on the sofa, then laying out on it while the sun warmed my naked body … I then found myself dancing on a small mirrored table for Sante and my bare flesh basically pranced all over The Boom Boom Room… How sweet!  At the end I was leaning on the edge of the stairs… I never thought I would feel so comfortable with 6 people in one room while I am the only one undressed and in absolute raw form… How crazy but all the while it was Sante and I, alone in that room …   Thank you Sante, it was truly a wonderful and sexy experience!!!

Lots of xoxo, Karin

Sexy… What is sexy? “Sexy is something a little bit more sensual, mysterious that creates a wanting desire!” - Sante.

Shoot day with Mr. D’Orazio – Sante showed up on the set dressed in a black shirt, hot leather pants, and a sexy hot pinky ring. He is, without a doubt, one of the most sexiest photographers around today. It is an interesting fact that photographers always capture a part of themselves when shooting their subject. One can always guess a bit of their personality is in their style of work! It is not surprising that Sante always makes his models  look so smoldering hot. He knows what to say and how to say it. You immediately respond by surrendering to him and his camera; you give it all to him!

My experience working with Sante was a complete rush… Very empowering!

Thank you Sante !!!

Sante’s work is probably the most sensual I have seen.  He has been one of the first photographers that has inspired me and continues to feed my mind with his images. I love him!

There is a sense of seduction between the model and Sante. As a viewer, you can feel the energy with each photograph…

A promising adventure… You can escape with him as he delivers a unique sense of freedom. A daring glimpse of a reality for those living in the fast lane.

I can feel the tension and the electrical charges between Sante and his muse … So HOT!

What makes a photographer and amazing artist is that he can move his audience with his images. Great lighting is wonderful, but if you don’t have a connection with your model then the image is not worth much. There is no arguing that Sante has the capabilities to engage his model into his trance – his art is his seduction!

I LOVE this image!

S

Sante is known to not only capture a women’s sexual prowess but also her beauty in the most natural form.

Love Miss Eva!

I once had the pleasure of shooting Sante and another model. It was a bit strange for me as I was shooting my favorite photographer alive today. I was able to see him exude this magnetic energy. The model that I was shooting was extremely beautiful but a bit conservative at first. At the end of the shoot, I have to say, it appeared as if she had been playing between the sheets with Sante. It was smoldering HOT!

Miss Pamela Anderson is so sultry in these pics. Yumm!

Viva Mr. Sante !!! I will always be a fan!

Thank you so much Sante for this lovely series!

Sante has worked together with Pamela Anderson … creating a book that is both tantalizing and a must have as a coffee book table. You see Pamela in her most sexiest yet ! As we all know Pamela Anderson… One of America’s sexiest momma  - Icon babe from Bay watch. She is still looking as stunning as ever!!! 

Sante possess magic – a magician! He can make any shy and conservative girl look like a hot steaming sex pot!  He is a true Artist ! I genuinely admire him and his work. I recently had a conversation with a friend – both discussing Sante and his work. His style and essence that he is able to capture is evident in all his shots. Bravo !!!

Mr. Sante D’Orazio did a sensational job capturing Pamela’s sultry sex appeal. Don’t you wish you all can be his assistant??? 

His book is for sale… Go get your copy !!!
