'Don't play yourself for a fool.'

I have identified between 50 and 60 photoshoots by Alice, although there are probably many more, including unpublished work. Additionally she featured in a small number of videos. Whilst enjoying a high profile in solo modelling she also made a number of intimate shoots with other females which placed her in the lesbian genre. Model reference sites tend to classify her work as 'glamour' and 'lez'.

In the duo sets, Alice was usually paired with another model of similar physique, such as Freya. These artistically posed, playful sessions often develop strong sexual overtones. The studios were dedicated to the erotic female nude and, as far as I know, Alice never posed with a male model. The Cruxdreams shoot was her only flirtation with bondage, which makes it remarkable in the wider context of her modelling career.

I think it is to her credit that Alice did not take herself too seriously. Some of her shoots are of variable quality in terms of the themes and lighting employed, and sometimes the published results are frankly disappointing. She seems to have formed good working relationships with her regular photographers, such as Rylsky, and her moments of humour are revealing in presenting a refreshing if bizarre contrast with the evident tedium of posing repeatedly in the nude.

Silly girl, that must be her reply to a snarky flirtatious comment

this time, Alice with metal costume :) I didn't put the handcuffs on her because it takes time and effort. :cool:

This picture is so dark that only @bobinder can tell if it's Alice or not. :)
I would have liked to add a little more detail to describe torture scene, but you can see what I wanted to do.

Thanks Cypher, for your latest pictures of Alice. Her debut series has yet again provided the inspiration for a bondage-themed manip. This time, the dress code is shiny metal for collar, shackles, chains and a padlocked set of chastity belt and brassiere. This convincingly applied armour is very reminiscent of a duo set featuring Caprice, in which she and her friend are restrained in similar constrictions, although they do not seem to be as comfortable as Alice appears in hers. But of course, for Alice, whether it's tin, teazel or tennis, finding the perfect balance means everything. :D

On The Edge Cypher-MPL-Tennis 2.jpg​

Cypher's latest work depicts a darker theme altogether, and the shiny shackles and chains are now dimly discerned in the tenebrous illumination of the torture chamber. Indeed the focus of the illumination is the burning rod, which the tormentor is holding nonchalantly in his bare hand, whilst applying it to Alice's bare skin, leaving a series of painful scars seared into her thighs. The blood streaming from the shackles is another painful detail, providing mute testimony to the desperation of Alice's struggles.

dromsk cf Cypher tortrm.jpg​

The image succeeds by evoking fear and tension through its convincing realism and dramatic lighting. The lower half of the picture is thrust into dense shadow, focusing our attention on the highlighted action. Alice's body has been subjected to a substantial increase in contrast, saturation and gamma adjustments, to produce the glossy highlights and deep shadows. Her hands are just visible in the darkness above her head, with the right forearm obscured by a manacle.

In contrast to the discomfort being depicted in the manipulation, the Femjoy source is a relaxed pose, with the subject basking in sunshine, on the rocks of the Crimean coast. The foreshortened view of Alice's body provides the illusion of looking upwards, as if she is suspended above eye level, and this effect has been exploited previously in the altarpiece entitled 'Alicia Ecclesiastica', as well as the earlier 'Ivdaea Capta' image which inspired it.

Cypher has achieved a similar effect with the forced perspective of the elevated rack beneath Alice. Additionally, his picture presents a wide angle view, since we are looking upwards towards Alice's face, and downwards to the manacled male figure, seated on the floor in the lower right corner. This compositional detail is significant in making the picture one of the relatively few manipulations in which Alice appears with a nude male. The artist excels in his invitations to confront some nightmarish scenes, and this one is no exception - well done, Cypher! :)

If I had my own church instead of Jesus I'd have photo 2 instead
 
It's a very simple manip, I tried to make Alice surrounded by rough-looking men.
Her resolute demeanor sparks new charm, I think.
As I see, a lot of people use Alice alone in their pictures, but I'm thinking about making a scene where a man and Alice get involved next time.　:)

Great picture. Alice asks her master "do you think I can take all these men?"

Alice is continuing to inspire the manip artists among us, with recent results including an interesting demonstration of the mobile photo editor by Mikerytel, and a multi-figure composition by Cypher. 'Alice surrounded by rough-looking men' is a development of the theme previously explored in 'Alice in the Blackdreams' -
https://www.cruxforums.com/xf/threads/alice-kiss-crux-legend.6168/post-468976

In both manips, the sources for Alice are from Alexander Lobanov's 'Basic Instinct' series, and I believe the male on the far left, wearing a silver watch and spectacles, is the same character in both pictures.

Cypher Blackdreams cf Lobanov binst.jpg Cypher Rough Looking Men cf Lobanov binst.jpg​

Cypher has rotated Alice slightly to resolve the low viewpoint of Lobanov's camera angle. The other figures may have been inserted individually, or in groups, although their shadows on the walls are so convincing that they appear to belong to the background image. Those shadows indicate a low, central light source, which is consistent with the figure of Alice, highlighted against the open doorway.

Alice has received increased contrast and saturation adjustments, appropriate for the dark, even sinister, atmosphere. The brown tone is relieved in close proximity to Alice by the bright red highlights in a pair of trousers, a baseball cap, a watch and a pair of laces. Whilst her pose suggests that her arms are restrained, there is no such indication on the visible left wrist, and this seems to imply that she has removed the items of underwear which are discarded on the floor behind her. The defiant pose of the small, vulnerable female makes a dramatic contrast with the excited males who surround her.

The widescreen aspect and figure arrangement imply that we are somehow involved as observers, present at the scene. Whilst the lack of explanation is disturbing, the character interaction suggests that Alice is a 'guest' at some kind of gentlemen's club, and we are being invited to speculate about the enigmatic qualities of the event we are witnessing. Congratulations on an intensely provocative picture, Cypher - and yet again you have just submitted your new picture of 'a scene where a man and Alice get involved' whilst I was drafting this review. :D
 
Thanks bobinder. My manip is not very complicated, but I always want to create a unique atmosphere, like being part of a movie scene. I would be happy if the viewer used their imagination to create their own story in my pictures .
I think putting the underwear behind Alice might have made her more provocative. After all, women take off their underwear with considerable determination.
I forgot about " blackdream " picture I made a long time ago. It was also designed with interracial sex in my mind.
Alice's pose that appears in Femjoy and others shows has a strong appeal in itself, so it's quite difficult to get her involved with male actors. :)
 
Alice in a bathroom

alice-in-bathroom-1.jpg
I'm a little obsessed with putting Alice in one picture with a male actor.
But in this case, I wonder if she's just going to be treated as a boring porn actress.
I'm working on a few more now, but it's quite difficult to bring out her unique charm in scenes like this.
It seems that Alice's attractiveness has obviously something different from the appeal of an ordinary porn actress. :)

In my opinion, she was playing with the two sides ...
