Steampunk Models Needed

Fantasy and fetish photographer Dirk Hooper is looking for male and female models for a Steampunk project that will be developed over the next three months.  The project will lead to a major exhibition in Tulsa this coming June, but may also lead to other exhibitions or even a book.

The description of Steampunk is below, but if you’re not familiar with the term, you may not be right for this project.  Hooper is looking for male and female models who have a Steampunk wardrobe and props already available for a photoshoot.  In addition, Hooper will be searching for a certain look, personal style and spirit similar to what he always looks for in prospective models.  Photoshoots will be on-location around Oklahoma City.

Interested models should be ready to sign a standard model release and be available for shooting relatively quickly.  Please send a few photos along with your name, email and a phone number, so he can get an idea of your look.  Professional photos or modeling experience is not necessary.  Models who are chosen will receive a photoshoot and several worked photos that are worth nearly $500 in value, plus if a photo of your set ends up in the art show, you will get an 8×10 of the piece as well.

Please send photos, name, email and phone to: dirk@dirkhooper.com

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used — usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England — but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of “the path not taken” of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage’s Analytical engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.

Dirk Hooper and Toxic Goddess to Make Appearance at IAO’s “Biting the Apple”

Dirk Hooper will have work among nearly 40 other erotic artists at the IAO’s Biting the Apple exhibit this weekend.  He will also be making an appearance along with several of the Toxic Goddesses and Toxic Goddess photographer Robert Henry.  Information on the Biting the Apple exhibition is below.

Individual Artists of Oklahoma will present their 19th annual erotic art show and fetish ball entitled “Cirque Fantastique” on Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27, from 7pm to midnight, at IAO Gallery, 706 W. Sheridan in the Film Exchange District of Oklahoma City.

Over the course of the two nights, this year’s Biting the Apple, “Cirque Fantastique,” will quite literally be a circus of fantasies that aims to explore how our fantasies are reflected in popular culture through movies, literature, and even modern myth. By providing an approachable and safe atmosphere, IAO hopes guests will come together in celebration of our fantasies to gain insights into eroticism through a wide array of individual artwork.

Friday, March 26 is the event’s Opening Party. Oklahoma artists will exhibit their erotic art in a combined invited artist and juried art show. The evening will also include erotic poetry readings, a fashion show, film and video screenings and performance art; as well as juror’s and people’s choice awards given for art submissions and IAO’s first ever YouTube video competition.

Saturday, March 27 will be a celebration like no other with the event’s popular Fetish Ball. Attendees are invited to dress as personal taste, fashion, and personal fantasy dictate. Look for artist-made costumes and décor to fit the “Cirque Fantastique” theme.

Join our circus of fantasies with street performers, an erotic dance-off and live peep shows. Both nights will include a cash bar and complimentary food donated by a few of Oklahoma City’s most excellent restaurants.

Tickets are $15 for each night or $25 for both nights.

Below is a set of photos that were taken at Art N Soul Studios of their My Fetish Valentine 2 Art Show.  This is the second year that I’ve participated and all I can say is the the gang at Art N Soul Studios put on a fantastic show this year!  Rope bondage, music and the coolest crowd was all there to make this a memorable event!

Thanks to Craig and Jeannie and everyone else for putting on such a great show.  I’m proud to have been a part of it.

The photos below are used with permission.  Thanks to the respective photographers.  If you’d like to see more photos from the event, please go to the My Fetish Valentine Flickr page.
