Of the 18,000
Women I’ve
Photographed
The
Five
By Marc Breed, M.F.A.

1. Berkeley, CA
I spied a 5’11”, 185 lb., extremely shapely African-American woman exiting the Bart system on San Francisco’s Market Street, the Fall of 1997. She was with a very well-dressed man, who was making his goodbye’s.
When I approached her about a potential photo-shoot, she was flattered and piqued at 40 years old, to have received such attention.
She worked as one of a handful of women as a union, cargo container shipping off-loader. An opportunity to save in perpetuity a good and youthful, somewhat flattering photo’s of herself by an artist was favorably received. After all Berkeley, as a college town drastically alters mosts’ perspectives.
We borrowed a micro-leather dress, by a San Fran designer who specialized in well-crafted fetish attire. Borrowed a platinum, page-boy wig, and some obscenely high, stiletto shoes and made for Berkeley campus proper, to shoot.
The campus appeared ideallic. With it’s lush rolling terrain. And, families scouting the campus with expectant freshman in tow.

During a break, as my model rested on the small brooks bridge, a family was passing and dawdling was a boy of about 12 years old. Whose intrigue by this sight of a towering [6’5” in heels], double-f cupped, small waisted [cinched even tighter by this miniscule black dress], more than ample derrier, and platinum hair. With flesh spillage everywhere.
That the few moments he spent fighting his soon coming attractions; this is what a super-heroine really looks like; and well, damn right now my mom thinks I’m ‘stupid and weak like your father’, all kick in all together moment. The photo captured at that moment is my career favorite. The boys mouth was gaping as he stared up passing.
The photo was displayed in billboard by the bridge for said designer who lent it to the project, to tremendous effect and attention to us all.

2. The bodybuilder
Th-resa Bostick was the third ranked heavyweight bodybuilder [womens’ category].
A short, hard and shapely 175 lbs. heading into a competition. Her water weight had been stripped down from 190 lbs. she carries daily [perhaps 5’ 3”, if memory serves]. Her calves were amazing. Additionally, in a dress she exuded a very strange lust in men.
I felt my brief time with her was a prelude to a friendship. So, open in her personal, though painfully difficult story.
After this shoot she offered to wrestle me, and wouldn’t accept ‘no’ for an answer. We posted photos on her new website www.nubiangoddess.com [which with membership fess netted her already lofty $200K income further amazing for this (then) 29 year old mother of a 17 year old daughter. Really.
Sadly the site is now defunct.

3. The boxer
Though she has now passed. This steroid-shooting, silicone enhanced amateur [fetish] boxer. In her early 40’s [and African-American, as were the two preceding models], she was an odd-duck for my aesthetic to be applied.
Not only did we shoot, by I filmed a video of her and her daughter beating the crap out of a man who flew a great distance [without his wife’s knowledge] to have voluntarily played ‘victim’ for a video destined to be viewed on the Internet.
And yes, for those of you wondering, I appeared in a video myself. By very soft core compared to the man I just related.
For those of you guessing. She WAS Florida-based. Living in a motel as some shadowy character’s mistress.

4. The Pizza King’s wife
Great things always happen when sitting in a bar. When he offered a drink, I thought ‘gay’, and declined. But the man was a jovial drinker, and expansive.
He invited me to come to their home, where he was known to act out his mild voyeurism. Watching his wife scantily-clad for strange men. And even allowed me to conduct the shooting as I would prefer being as dictatorial and commanding as I wished.
Do I need to tease you with how many units his chain encompasses? And yes, younger and hot, but quite accommodating to her mans’ status.

5. The horse rider
This is really the genesis of my identity as a practitioner of fetish, as opposed to say, architectural photography, to which I am also passionately attracted to, and still dabble in to this day.
Great legs, even in fitted jeans. The kind you await the Summer shorts season to catch sight of.
The work was awful. Her legs appeared enormous [and not good like that her first three darker counterparts.]
I have always made a emotionally bound to working craft specific to weakness. And have had my aesthetic changes exemplified through my camera’s eye, pushing much as a graffiti artist might, against current constraints.
Of course these three are special, as they are all of the non-sexual variety.
We are all pigs, men. But, leave this to us. Women burned their bras in my youth. What if we stopped lugging weight for them. We might all get the opportunity to have such a private moment from any women who is outstanding

for some purely physical reason, having gone through what these women did for my camera.
