Character & Mindset
Curious, precise, and endlessly creative, I am someone whose mind rarely rests. New thoughts and ideas flow every few seconds, fueling projects that range from photography to design to philosophy, and even physics. Independence and originality guide me more than convention ever could. People describe me as a restless visionary ahead of time.
Aesthetic & Vision
A high standard of aesthetics shapes my work. I strive for clarity, balance, and expression in everything I create. For me, beauty is not surface; it is structure, coherence, and meaning. My open eyes see things others miss. With my talent for finding and combining resources, I challenge others to think further.
Sharing Knowledge
I enjoy teaching and sharing insights, but never in an authoritarian manner. Instead, I prefer to spark curiosity, offer tools, and let others find their own path. Guiding without dictating feels more honest and rewarding. I love to discuss things and enjoy lenghty conversations.
Way of Life
Creation is my rhythm. Photography, latex as fashion & lifestyle, and conceptual design are not just work; they are identity. My life has been marked by movement: hitchhiking, cycling through Europe as a teenager, living and learning abroad as a young adult, and exploring distant cultures with often little more than a backpack. Along the way, I’ve taken unusual detours, driving trucks, a short phase of taking over all the night shifts at a gas station, teaching longboarding, and even rolling a thousand kilometers on four wheels. Unconventional, perhaps, but it all feeds into the way I see and create.
Why does larum.me exist?
This is where I track my active projects, the ones I’m actually building. No random ideas or brainstorming sessions, just concrete ventures in photography, fashion, design, and business, currently moving through various stages of development.
Each category represents a real project with measurable progress. Some are pre-launch, waiting for that perfect market moment. Others are deep in concept and testing phases, where every detail gets refined. Some are in strategic planning stages, where foundation work determines long-term success. All share one certainty: they will ship with the precision and standards required to make a genuine impact.
The diversity reflects how I operate: parallel processing, laser-focused, but always keeping sight of the bigger picture. Transparency over marketing fluff. Execution over empty announcements. Quality over quantity.
larum.me is my project dashboard; an authentic look at what I’m building, why it matters, and how it might just reshape its respective areas. This website is entirely non-commercial in itself.

Since 2004, I have been working as a freelance photographer and videographer with a focus on aesthetic body shaping and creative image composition. My passion lies in telling visually powerful stories that impress and remain memorable.
LARUM.photography
I am Raymond K. Larum, the mind and eye behind LARUM.photography. My work explores latex lifestyle, highstyle, and latex fashion in a way that merges art, design, and individuality. With over twenty years of experience and more than 4,100 productions, I focus on creating striking imagery that pushes beyond the usual limits of fashion photography. Each shoot is both experiment and narrative, reflecting my search for aesthetic, structure, and personal expression. LARUM.photography stands for a vision where latex becomes more than material; it becomes language, attitude, and art.
latexperiment
To me as founder and creator of latexperiment, a platform dedicated to latex lifestyle, highstyle, and contemporary art, for me, latex is not just a material but an artistic medium, now even matte, structured, and endlessly versatile. Since 2006, I have been exploring its aesthetic potential through photography, video, and design, building one of the most consistent archives in this field. latexperiment is where experimentation meets vision: an evolving space for bold ideas, timeless imagery that values creativity beyond conventions. The website is a safe haven for female models who want to showcase themselves in an unparalleled way. Every project reflects my drive to redefine latex as culture, fashion, and art.
Shiny Dollz
Shiny Dollz is my ambitious project to launch a platform that showcases high-quality models alongside top latex photographers and AI models, with a special focus on latex and artistic content.
We’re creating an alternative to mainstream platforms with less competition, free pricing structures, and fair conditions between models and photographers. Shiny Dollz will also have its own dedicated team member from the arts and media field who will serve as the contact person for all creatives and applicants on the platform.
Both latexperiment and Shiny Dollz offer direct revenue streams through exclusive content, memberships, and sales of merchandise, art, and photos. This ecosystem approach ensures sustainable growth while maintaining artistic integrity and fair compensation for all creative contributors, creating a solid foundation for future expansion into related projects and media ventures.
AVIANOX
AVIANOX represents a commercial drone service positioned to capitalize on one of the fastest-growing segments in the aviation industry, where drone inspection and monitoring services are experiencing unprecedented demand across multiple sectors. The service focuses on three core areas that are becoming increasingly critical across industries: inspections, flyovers, planning and documentation.
As infrastructure ages and regulatory compliance becomes more stringent, drone-based inspection services are transitioning from experimental tools to essential operational assets, with businesses recognizing the significant advantages over traditional methods.
One Stop Higher
One Stop Higher is my innovative photography platform that revolutionizes how photographers are booked. Instead of traditional single assignments, I offer an exclusive subscription system where clients secure me as their personal photographer, not just for specific projects, but whenever they need me.
80% of available spots are reserved for advertising agencies and businesses requiring reliable, high-quality visual content. The remaining 20% serve individuals, particularly influencers and content creators who want to maintain consistent portfolio quality in their personal style. One Stop Higher combines my experience with modern flexibility, creating a unique solution for continuous creative support.
Ballet Heels
Ballet Heels is one of my most fascinating and enduring projects, having existed since 2003 as an information, advertising, and shop website that has continuously evolved. For 14 years, from 2010 to 2024, Alexandra Potter shaped this project and transformed it into a unique visual icon. Her extraordinary ability to walk in Ballet Heels, combined with her natural elegance, made the project what it is today.
Alexandra began her Ballet Heels journey when she came to my studio in 2009, a spontaneous moment when she tried on the shoes and could immediately walk in them. What started as an experimental shoot developed into a long-term creative partnership that transformed Ballet Heels from a niche concept into a visual movement.
Now I’m at an exciting turning point: I can hardly wait to discover who the next Ballet Heels model will be! The search for Alexandra’s successor isn’t just continuing a tradition, it’s the birth of an entirely new era. I’m looking for a young woman between 16 and 24 years old who not only brings the technical skills of a trained ballet dancer but also dares to develop Ballet Heels into a new form of visual performance.
Latex Ballerina
Latex Ballerina is a groundbreaking artistic project that fuses classical ballet with modern latex fashion, creating a captivating persona that bridges traditional artistry and contemporary style. The project centers around a dedicated model who undergoes rigorous daily training showcasing discipline, elegance, and artistic commitment.
This endeavor focuses entirely on artistic representation rather than erotic content, making it suitable for a broad young audience. The model embodies a fearless professional ballet dancer who embraces the spotlight, wearing latex, collars, and Ballet Heels or Ballet Wedges as symbols of disciplined confidence and artistic dedication.
Latex Ballerina represents a bold fusion of classical artistry with modern innovation, designed to inspire audiences and redefine artistic expression while creating sustainable commercial opportunities through exclusive content and merchandise sales.
enclozed ART
enclozed ART represents a bold exploration into the intersection of constraint, vulnerability, and human expression through the medium of latex and conceptual photography. This avant-garde project pushes the boundaries of contemporary art by creating scenarios where female models become living sculptures, entirely encased in latex and positioned in carefully orchestrated compositions that challenge viewers’ perceptions of freedom, control, and aesthetic beauty. The work deliberately confronts audiences with the tension between restriction and artistry, using the visual language of bondage not as fetish imagery, but as a profound commentary on societal constraints, personal limitations, and the human condition itself.
The artistic process involves meticulous planning and execution, where each model becomes part of a larger narrative about enclosure and liberation. The latex serves as both literal and metaphorical skin, a second layer that simultaneously conceals and reveals, restricts and defines. By documenting these moments of struggle and adaptation, the photography captures something raw and authentic about human resilience and the ways we navigate physical and psychological boundaries. The resulting images are designed to provoke contemplation rather than titillation, prompting viewers to reflect on their own relationship with constraint, whether self-imposed or externally imposed.
Xay One
This photography project presents extraordinary technical challenges that push the boundaries of both artistic vision and documentary execution, capturing the haunting contrast between comfort and confinement through carefully orchestrated imagery. I must navigate the complex visual narrative of a seemingly innocent teddy bear exterior while conveying the profound human drama occurring within, a task that requires masterful control of lighting, composition, and timing to reveal the subtle signs of life and struggle beneath layers of material.
The resulting images operate on multiple levels, as fine art photography that explores form and texture, as documentary evidence of human endurance, and as provocative visual statements that challenge viewers’ preconceptions about captivity, comfort, and the limits of artistic expression through the lens.
1 million shots
The project represents my unique commemoration of a photographic milestone, transforming the achievement of capturing one million photographs into an innovative advertising platform where pixels become premium real estate—celebrating this extraordinary creative output by offering businesses and brands the opportunity to purchase individual pixels on a digital canvas, creating a mosaic of commercial messages that collectively honor the journey from the first frame to the millionth capture. Each pixel sold contributes to both the artistic legacy of reaching such a significant photographic milestone for me and provides advertisers with a distinctive way to associate their brand with creative achievement and visual storytelling expertise.
Latex Twins
My concept of twin influencers living entirely in latex challenges conventions in fashion and lifestyle content. This platform seeks female twins aged 18-24 who are committed to authentically integrating latex into their everyday lives, from coffee runs and workouts to brand shoots and commercial work, showing that latex can be truly livable, not just wearable. While maintaining their individual personalities, the twins showcase latex as a realistic, everyday fashion choice, not merely a costume.
What sets this entertainment project apart is its dedication to authentic experiences. The twins document real-life moments, such as grocery shopping, socializing, events, and professional projects, all in latex, redefining influencer content and normalizing unconventional fashion. Contact me if your twin sister is into it, too.
Latex Playmate
This exclusive concept targets one former Playboy Playmate aged 18-25 who is willing to transition her modeling career entirely into latex fashion, creating a unique crossover between mainstream glamour modeling and avant-garde fashion expression. My project capitalizes on the established recognition and professional modeling experience of actual Playmates while introducing them to latex as their signature material, potentially creating a new category of high-profile latex modeling that bridges the gap between traditional glamour photography and contemporary fashion innovation.
latexkind
As the cornerstone of a broader fashion ecosystem, latexkind serves as the entry point that proves latex can be both approachable and sophisticated, setting the foundation for more specialized brands and concepts that push boundaries even further.
The development process requires extensive testing and refinement, perfecting everything from ventilation systems to seaming techniques to care instructions that make daily latex wear realistic for busy lifestyles. While other brands in development explore more extreme or specialized directions, latexkind focuses on perfecting the fundamentals that make latex fashion truly viable for mainstream adoption. The collection essentially solves the “wearability problem” that has limited latex fashion’s broader appeal, creating the groundwork necessary for more adventurous concepts to flourish by first establishing that latex can be practical, comfortable, and elegantly integrated into contemporary fashion sensibilities.
Ballet Heels
Ballet Heels represent one of the most challenging and transformative elements in latex fashion, requiring not just physical capability but genuine commitment to redefining how one moves through the world. From a fashion perspective, they’re the ultimate test of dedication, requiring complete lifestyle adaptation, from how you walk and sit to how you plan your daily activities around this dramatic footwear choice. The combination of ballet heels with latex creates a complete aesthetic transformation that goes far beyond clothing into the realm of performance art and lifestyle commitment, demanding both physical conditioning and mental dedication that most fashion choices don’t require.
Once the right ballet dancer is found for this project, she’ll become a living demonstration for anyone considering a latex lifestyle, proving that even the most extreme elements can be integrated into daily life with proper training and commitment. Her ability to navigate everyday situations while maintaining grace and functionality in ballet heels will serve as inspiration and practical guidance for others exploring this fashion territory. She’ll essentially become a case study in how far the latex lifestyle can be pushed, showing that what seems impossible or impractical can become natural through dedication, proper technique, and genuine passion for pushing fashion boundaries into uncharted territory.
latexperiment
This platform serves as the definitive showcase for a latex-driven lifestyle that I’ve been carefully cultivating and documenting over fifteen years of fashion innovation and boundary-pushing creative work. The site demonstrates how latex transcends its traditional associations through my pioneering “Highstyle” approach, seamlessly blending latex with conventional fabrics and integrating fetish-inspired accessories into everyday fashion contexts.
The content proves that latex fashion can exist comfortably within professional, social, and creative contexts when executed with a proper understanding of both the material’s properties and its potential for mainstream acceptance, establishing the foundation for a truly latex-centered lifestyle that others can realistically adopt and adapt to their own circumstances.
Latex Ballerina
Working with Evie represents a fascinating case study in genuinely integrating latex into daily life as legitimate fashion rather than occasional experimentation. She navigates real-world situations, such as grocery shopping, meetings, and social events, while maintaining her latex lifestyle, proving that this material can function as practical everyday fashion when approached with genuine commitment.
What makes her approach particularly valuable is how she’s establishing herself as a living testament to latex fashion’s potential while developing her role with latexkind. She’s actively problem-solving how to make latex work in contexts where it’s never been tested, from professional environments to casual social settings.
latexkind
My brand, latexkind, tackles the challenge of making latex garments suitable for daily wear, focusing on comfort and practicality rather than traditional aesthetics. The process addresses issues like patterns for movement, ventilation to prevent overheating, and durable seams for regular use. Multiple prototypes ensure each piece works as everyday clothing. The biggest hurdle is sourcing matte-finish latex, which reduces maintenance and makes the clothing socially acceptable in more settings. Material research emphasizes breathability, flexibility, and ease of washing, with consistent production of these specialized materials remaining a significant challenge.

Shiny Dollz
Shiny Dollz emerges as a curatorial vision that elevates latex photography and digital art to gallery-worthy status, bringing together accomplished models, renowned photographers, and cutting-edge AI-generated imagery within a carefully curated artistic framework. The project transcends conventional content platforms by establishing rigorous aesthetic standards and fostering creative collaboration between visual artists who share a commitment to pushing the boundaries of latex as an artistic medium.
By providing artists with complete creative freedom and fair compensation structures, the platform serves as both an exhibition space and an artist collective, where established and emerging talents can experiment with avant-garde concepts without compromising on commercial considerations.
Xay One
Xay One represents a profound artistic exploration of surrender, vulnerability, and the complex dynamics between trust and control, manifesting as a living sculpture that challenges conventional boundaries of endurance art. The project centers on the haunting paradox of a soft, oversized teddy bear —a universal symbol of childhood comfort and safety —that conceals within it a figure rendered completely helpless through sensory deprivation and physical restraint. This deliberate contrast between the approachable, comforting exterior and the stark reality of complete vulnerability inside creates an unsettling yet mesmerizing experience that forces viewers to confront their own relationships with power, submission, and complicity.
The project thrives on multiple layers of tension, between what is seen and what is known to exist beneath, between the softness of appearance and the struggle within, and between submission as an act of trust and captivity as a form of control.

Latex Ballerina
Working with Evie has been extraordinary because she brings genuine ballet discipline to latex modeling, transforming shoots into performances that demand real athletic and artistic skill. Her ballet training provides her with an understanding of movement and positioning that most models lack; she knows how to hold impossible positions and make strain look effortless. What sets her apart is her commitment to living this concept daily, wearing ballet heels and latex as standard wardrobe, which means when we shoot, she’s not performing a character but simply being herself.
The remarkable thing about Evie is watching how she’s taken the latex ballerina concept and made it entirely her own, using it as a framework to push her boundaries while building a unique professional identity. Her ballet background provides the endurance needed for demanding shoots, but more importantly, it’s taught her how to find grace under pressure and beauty within constraint.
latexperiment
Through my project latexperiment, I’ve created a unique opportunity for models to discover new aspects of themselves. The latex shoots become transformative experiences where models can experiment with challenging materials and concepts that push their comfort zones, often revealing confidence and capabilities they didn’t know they possessed.
What I offer goes beyond just another modeling gig; it’s a chance for them to develop a distinctive portfolio that sets them apart in a competitive industry, using their latex work as a springboard into more experimental fashion opportunities, editorial shoots, and creative collaborations they wouldn’t have accessed through conventional modeling channels. The platform essentially becomes a testing ground for personal growth and professional development, models used for themselves.

Raymond Larum - Blog
A blog for my creative output on various topics. A dumping ground for my thoughts and sometimes even newsworthy issues. I started this site as a place where I could share whatever happens to be on my mind, whether that’s dissecting something like “Meta’s AI Gold Rush” or just working through my thoughts on current events that catch my attention. Sometimes I write about things that I feel are important but aren’t receiving enough discussion elsewhere, such as in my “Breaking the Silence” posts.
I also include practical insights from my photography work that might be helpful to others. Posts like “Lighting Techniques: A Simple Guide to Making Photos Shine” come from years of figuring things out the hard way, and I figure, why not share what I’ve learned? It’s not groundbreaking stuff, just honest observations from someone who’s been behind the camera for a while and has opinions about how the industry works.
Road Of Expectations
My personal blog/vlog is an upcoming private project that will chronicle my authentic return to travel, reimagined for this chapter of my life. It signifies a rekindling of the freedom and sense of discovery that defined my younger years, now shaped by modern mobility.
The project will launch only when I am either living in a van or have acquired a motorcycle; mobility is at the core of this endeavor, so that no content will be produced until then. While hitchhiking was a travel method in the past as a teenager, this new chapter calls for a different approach suited to where I am today.
Through this blog/vlog, I will share real adventures across Europe, documenting life on the road and the unfiltered freedom it brings. This is a genuine look into my personal journey beyond professional pursuits, presenting raw experiences that highlight rediscovering wanderlust.
This project isn’t just about personal documentation; it’s for anyone who’s ever dreamed of breaking free from routine. By supporting this venture or my other creative projects, you’re helping fund not just a van or motorcycle, but a truly inspiring journey. Real supporters will also gain exclusive access to the story from day one. Talk to me!
