Sunday, March 18, 2012 · 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

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.

This event is clean and sober, no alcohol, drugs or smoking allowed. This event is open to anyone 18 years or older. IDs with proof of age will be required at door.

RSVP to Ken Melvoin-Berg’s email [email protected] by no later than 3/17/12 for the info on location of the Studio (approx 10 mins southwest of downtown Chicago).

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.

On The Edge is offering “Give Me The Code,” an Intelligence Gathering Interrogation workshop with Ken Melvoin-Berg (@Kreamy) and Fetlife’s @Happy-Venom. These two gentlemen (well, always polite but not necessarily gentle!) are former Special Forces military folks (ok technically, Ken was only “elite,” not special) involved with interrogation or its aftercare.

Get ready to delve into extreme edge play, psychological play, pressure points, electric persuasion, water tortures and more!

Throughout the course of the evening Ken and Mr. Venom will address interrogation, confirmation and reward plus some of the extreme tactics the intelligence community uses to retrieve top secret information. They will also look at after effects including psychological aftercare, PTSD, Stockholm Syndrome, etc.

There will be much more information here than your typical BDSM Interrogation class– this is the real deal! To facilitate learning and bring together all of the elements discussed, they will conduct an intense live interrogation scene for the class.

Class will conclude with Q & A followed by open playtime at The Studio.
