On The Edge presents Erotic Photography with Liquid Mojo and Zaana. We will take a look at the basics of digital cameras and how to shoot erotic photography where ever you may be, a dungeon, your house or on the street. Bring your digital camera, as the course will cover the functions and options available on your device, and any questions you have about the art of erotic photography. This class is best if you come with a friend/lover/playmate so that your favorite model is ready to start shooting with you the moment you get home.

Zaana, the artist behind Ann Drake Photography, is a newcomer, but has quickly made her mark on the Chicago photography scene. With a focus in glamour, fetish and boudoir photography, she enjoys finding ways to bring out the beauty and sexiness within each model that steps in front of her camera. Zaana has been both active and a leader in the BDSM community for 2 years, creating and running the Lakeview Munch and working with many models and kinksters to produce erotic, gorgeous art. Having just started working within the Chicago sex toy industry, Zaana hopes to continue learning more to further sex-positivity and body-positivity, and to continue understanding exactly what it is that makes people feel sexy and beautiful; in front of her lens and elsewhere. Her home base is in the city of Chicago.

Ken and I are very excited to be involved with Playground Toronto!  We’ll be giving the keynote at the Saturday night dinner plus teaching a class on pervertables earlier that same afternoon.  All the details for our sessions at Playground are here.  You can see ticket options and read about other sessions here. 

Pervertables Class Description: What the heck is a pervertable? They are ordinary household objects you have converted over for sexy time fun. If you’ve ever picked up a spatula to spank your partner or used a neck tie as a wrist restraint, you’ve made a pervertable! Ken Melvoin-Berg and Sunny Megatron (host and Executive Producer for the Showtime original series Sex with Sunny Megatron) are a married couple that teaches together, works together and are “Ambassadors of Fuck” and will teach you how to take ordinary objects and make them into something fun (and cheap) you can use for sex. Join us with an open mind and a good sense of humor.

On Sunday well be teaching at Oasis Aqualounge nearby.  Stay tuned for more details on that.
