Description

She is on a bed, in something she chose with a lot of nerve, waiting for you to say something useful. Your mind just went blank.

The Chain Method fixes that. Every card is a pose chain: eight beats, one short cue per beat, about four seconds each. Say the cue. Stop talking. Watch the change. Say the next one. A whole chain runs about thirty seconds, and every beat ends where the next one starts, so nobody resets and nobody freezes.

Chain one card into the next and you have a continuous run. Shoot wide, medium and tight on every beat.

What is inside

  • 87 cards, from a gentle warm up through mirror, window, chair and bed work, plus power exchange, alt and implied nude sessions
  • A heat scale on every card, from one dot to four, so you always know how intimate a chain is
  • A rule line at the foot of every card from heat 3 up, so the guardrails travel with the card
  • Every card printed twice: four to a page so you can see the whole set, then one to a page in large type you can read from beside the camera
  • A simple line drawing of each card’s start pose
  • Prompt beats, one quiet moment per card, each with an exit
  • Chapters on why chains work, building a session, and a long chapter on consent that comes before any card
  • An index by situation, plus a model release and session agreement, an ID check and record log, and a guide to keeping records

It is spiral bound with the coil down the left edge, so it lies flat beside the camera. Printed on demand in the United States. Adults only.

Printed to order. All sales final except damage or misprint.

Written by Matthew D Kauffmann, CPP, a working photographer with more than 25 years behind the camera. This book teaches you to cue the action and never judge the body.
