This week's gam-filled shot comes from "Asianleggy," a professional photographer whose collections you might already be familiar with, depending on how deviant your tastes are. Step past the post break for the full image and some notes on his previous work.
The most curious detail about the above image, though, is the company it keeps. As Asianleggy's (AL) moniker suggests, his expertise lies in taking photos that accentuate the legs and figures of East Asian models. AL's subjects range from sensually posed business women to handcuffed and gagged maidens, all of them artfully captured no matter the tone. One photograph from his "Women in Bondage" set shows a languid brunette dressed in a stewardess uniform, tied up and abandoned on the beach. Eyes closed, she makes no effort to escape the rising tide as it crashes against her bare legs.
Other photos are more provocative, like his image of a young girl straddling a street railing. The hem of her undersized outfit is helpless to guard her exposed unmentionables. The emphasis of that particular composition leaves no room for debate. On the other end of the spectrum, in one of AL's more subtle scenes, a woman in a black-and-white-patterned wrap dress leans against a concrete wall for support, raising a leg behind her to examine the heel of her shoe.Put into this context, the perceived story behind the Nintendo DS image changes. Who are the models, really? Were they just passing the time with a round of Brain Age when the picture was taken, waiting around for a less-innocent shoot to begin? And how does one go from taking photos of bound, half-naked damsels in distress to capturing shots of women engaged in something as harmless as playing with their DS Lites?

Eric, dude... I am completely in awe. I wasn't sure how you were going to write a feature based on this photograph. This is fantastic.

Any word on the maroon and black ds lite that the girl in the addidas hat is playing with? Is it a special edition or just a black ds lite with a skin/casing on it.
