332 The Shape of Silence

The Shape of Silence

For Krysta Buckner, yoga is a way to find her shape in the world around her. Among the trees, the forest becomes more than a backdrop: a place to reach, bend, and settle into the quiet rhythm of nature.

Krysta moves with the branches and the changing light. There’s something grounded in the way she holds each pose—and just a hint of something more beneath the calm.

Photographed by Sherman Orendorf, The Shape of Silence invites you into this meeting of movement and nature. Follow the trail to see the full editorial.

330 DRESSED IN RED PART TWO

In Part One, the red dress transformed Ayeonna Gabrielle. In Part Two, it falls away. Red satin gathers beneath her as she takes complete control of the frame—confident, intimate, and entirely at ease in her own skin.


Against the cool blue walls, every detail becomes more intense: dark hair, expressive tattoos, red heels, and satin tracing the lines of her body. There is vulnerability in these photographs, but never uncertainty. Ayeonna decides what to reveal, what to withhold, and how closely we are allowed to look.

327 LAUREN LUNDER

LAUREN LUNDER

An Imagined Conversation

The sophisticated lady on the cover of Bound by Skin #327 has a few surprises beneath the surface.

There is an interesting contradiction to Lauren Lunder.

Then you notice the look in her eyes.

There's curiosity there. Mischief. Maybe even a little trouble.

And suddenly the perfectly polished exterior becomes considerably more interesting.

For Issue #327, Bound by Skin imagined sitting down with Lauren somewhere far removed from the studio lights and asking the questions that might reveal what lies beneath that sophisticated exterior.

BOUND BY SKIN: Lauren, let's begin with the obvious question. Are you really as sophisticated as you appear?

LAUREN: Sophisticated enough to make people think I am.

But appearances can be deceptive. I think most people have sides of themselves that don't necessarily make it into polite conversation.

That's probably what makes people interesting.

BB: So there's another Lauren hiding underneath the elegant one?

LAUREN: I wouldn't say hiding.

Maybe she's just waiting for the right circumstances.

The woman people meet during the day and the woman they discover later in the evening don't always have to be the same person.

BB: What brings that other woman out?

LAUREN: Curiosity.

Trust.

A little temptation.

And probably someone who knows how to push the right buttons without pushing too far.

BB: That sounds like a dangerous combination.

LAUREN: Only if you don't know what you're doing.

You're standing in front of someone with a camera, and suddenly every tiny movement means something.

BB: And do you know what people are thinking when they look at your photographs?

LAUREN: I can probably guess.

But I'd rather leave some of that to their imagination.

BB: What do you think makes a nude photograph genuinely beautiful rather than simply provocative?

LAUREN: Confidence.

A woman who is comfortable in her own skin changes the entire photograph.

It doesn't matter whether she's completely exposed or almost completely covered. If she owns the moment, you feel it.

I think that's much sexier than trying too hard to be sexy.

BB: Do you think there's something inherently intimate about being photographed nude?

LAUREN: Of course.

BB: You have a very thoughtful way of talking about sexuality.

LAUREN: Maybe because sexuality is more interesting when you don't reduce it to one thing.

There's confidence in it. Vulnerability. Curiosity. Humor.

And sometimes a little wickedness.

BB: A little wickedness?

LAUREN: Everyone should have some.

BB: How much?

LAUREN: Enough that your life doesn't become boring.

BB: That's a pretty good philosophy.

LAUREN: I try.

BB: Let's talk about imperfections. Your photographs don't try to hide every mark or detail. Is that deliberate?

LAUREN: Absolutely.

Perfect skin is beautiful, but real skin is interesting.

Little marks, freckles, scars, texture—all of those things remind you that you're looking at an actual person.

I don't want to look like a computer-generated version of myself.

BB: So you don't believe a woman needs to be flawless to be sexy?

LAUREN: Not even remotely.

Flawless is boring.

Character isn't.

BB: What makes a woman memorable?

LAUREN: Knowing herself.

And not being afraid of the parts of herself that don't fit neatly into other people's expectations.

BB: That sounds like something you've learned over time.

LAUREN: Most worthwhile things are.

BB: If someone only knew the woman they see in your photographs, what would surprise them most about you?

LAUREN: Probably how different I can be depending on the situation.

I can be very reserved.

I can be very playful.

The photograph gives us the obvious things: beauty, confidence, skin, light and shadow.

And sometimes, in a world where everyone seems determined to show us everything, a little mystery is the most provocative thing of all.

EDITOR'S NOTE

This is an imagined conversation created by Bound By Skin for editorial and artistic purposes. It is not a transcript of an actual interview, and the responses presented here are fictionalized and should not be understood as direct quotations from Lauren.

Ink & Elegance: Cassie Kerns Graces Bound by Skin Magazine #326

Ink & Elegance: Cassie Kerns Graces Bound by Skin Magazine #326

The intersection of alternative culture and high-fashion minimalism has a new benchmark. In the latest issue of Bound by Skin Magazine (#326), model Cassie Kerns and renowned fashion and swimwear photographer Sherman Orendorf deliver a masterclass in modern, tattoo-forward portraiture.

Captured in a stark, beautifully backlit setting, the cover strips away unnecessary noise to focus entirely on the art of form, ink, and expression.

Orendorf's class in Minimalist Contrast

What makes this cover immediately arresting is the signature soft, high-key lighting executed by Sherman Orendorf. Kerns is seated elegantly on a plush, leather armchair, positioned against a bright, overexposed background that creates a subtle halo effect around her silhouette.

The color palette is deliberately muted and unified. The warm, neutral tones of her high-waisted shorts perfectly match the vintage-inspired heels tucked beneath her. This minimalist styling ensures that the true centerpieces of the image remain front and center: her presence and her extensive tattoo work.

Behind the Lens: A Conversation with Cassie Kerns

To get a closer look at how this striking cover came together, we sat down with Cassie to discuss the creative vision, working with Orendorf, and what this specific feature means to her.

Q: This cover has a very timeless, almost cinematic feel to it. What was the concept going into the studio with Sherman Orendorf that day?

Cassie: We really wanted to strip things back. A lot of alternative photography leans heavily into dark, moody, or hyper-industrial aesthetics. For this shoot, Sherman and I wanted to go the complete opposite direction—bright, clean, and minimalist. By using a soft, neutral palette and that beautiful high-key backlighting he is so skilled at creating, the focus stays entirely on the human silhouette and how the ink flows naturally with the body's curves.

Q: Speaking of the ink, the cover beautifully showcases a mix of styles on your body, from delicate florals to heavy blackwork. How do you feel the photography highlights your tattoos?

Cassie: I love how Sherman's lighting captures the different textures. The soft light really flatters the fine lines and illustrative details on my arm and side, making them look almost like lace. At the same time, the composition gives plenty of space to the bolder, high-contrast piece on my thigh. Your tattoos tell a story of different chapters in your life, and this shot treats them like the fine art they are.

Q: Your poses are a balance between quiet vulnerability and total confidence. How do you channel that energy in front of the camera?

Cassie: Honestly, it’s all about trust and comfort on set, and Sherman is incredible at building that environment. When the styling is minimal, there’s nowhere to hide, which can feel vulnerable at first. But there’s an incredible sense of empowerment that comes with that. Bringing my hair forward and keeping the pose simple—just that quiet moment with a finger to my lip—creates a sense of mystery. It invites the viewer in rather than demanding their attention. I think that subtle confidence is always more compelling than something over-the-top.

Vulnerability Meets Confidence

Kerns’ performance and Orendorf's eye on this set are powerful reminders that alternative publications are delivering some of the most sophisticated portraiture in media today. Issue #326 isn't just a gallery of tattoos; it's a celebration of body autonomy and fine art.
