Former Crux-models

Go to CruxDreams.com
Probably the best person to answer this question is ImageMaker, since he is still busy running Cruxdreams. However, the studios tend not to discuss models beyond their professional engagements, which seems reasonable. My own impression is that very few of the early models came via agencies. Makar implied that he had approached most of them directly. They enjoyed their moments of fame with Cruxdreams and then resumed their lives.

A few, like Alice and Jane (shown here) were professional models, and their further sessions with different studios can be found on the internet. Understandably very few models used their real names and the studios respected their privacy off camera. I believe they have all moved on and settled into more conventional lifestyles.

No idea where their paths led them after their crux-modeling, but I wish them well. Makar's models showed us what a naked, struggling woman on a cross could look like - far beyond the static, stoic imitation-of-Christ crucifixion pictures we'd mostly seen before. They certainly gave me inspiration to create, showed me what was possible.
 
I've always wondered if some of them do visit this site from time to time... Or if they are lurking low-key reading our comments about them... Would be nice to talk to them really :)
They probably satisfied their curiosity by making a visit to Cruxdreams a long time ago. However, it is possible that some of them look in on us from time to time, although the English language rule might deter them. They may prefer not to be associated with their past image as crux-celebrity sex symbols. As far as I am aware, unlike some porn stars, none of the Cruxdreams models have personal websites to encourage fans or seek publicity.

Realistically, most of them are probably too busy with the next generation to spend time seeking our adulation (or trying to satisfy our scepticism regarding their true identities.) As fans, we will always be grateful to them for sharing so much of themselves, but we also have to respect their privacy. As Jedakk has said, they continue to provide great inspiration, and I wish them well.

Indeed. But I do wish Alice would look in. I hope she'd be touched by the high regard in which we all hold her. :)

You are likely correct and I send them good wishes as well!
 
A few years ago, I got tired of searching through all of my hundreds of pictures of Makar's lovely models to find an example of a particular pose I'd seen that I wanted to use as a reference for Poser work. So I set up a series of folders for crucifixion poses, i.e. hanging, raised, raising/lowering, arched, etc. Then I sorted all of the pics I had into those classifications - copies, not removing the originals from their sequences.

I have 185 pics in the "Hanging" folder; it wasn't easy to narrow them down, but here are the 10 most interesting poses, to my eye, from that set.

I don't know how long they remained in these positions for the shoot, but I suspect that what started out as acting/emoting very quickly turned into real discomfort. Some of those expressions seem all to real!

It appears they could slip their feet out of their ropes easily to stand on a stool to rest for a bit. But still . . . would I want to try this? Hell yes! But no photos please!

Brava ladies!

I heard at one point that the limit for them to stay on the cross was about 20 minutes. But as I look at the series of photos I have from Makar, the time stamps on the pictures show that each set was taken within two to three minutes.

Crucifixion, even like this, is painful. Most of the models looked like they were genuinely in pain. Some of them, particularly Erika, could only bear so much, then she said the only way she'd continue is with a stool to stand on. That's why in some of series her feet don't show.
 
And then there was Inga, who didn't want to come down from the cross when her time was up. Looking at the time stamps on the other sets that Makar took, the time was anywhere from a minute and a half to two minutes for any of those.

I have seven sets of pictures of Inga, and even though they were posted by Makar on different dates, the time stamps show that they were all taken during the same session on March 9, 2007 over a period of forty-six and a half minutes. Some girls are into this kink and some aren't.

Looking at them I suspect that Inga didn't want to come down because she wasn't done yet. :devil:

Hadn't seen those pics! Makar was a lot more than just a crux photographer, although in my opinion he was the best of the best at that. As far as I know, he only shot that one session with Inga on the cross, but I could be wrong.

From 1990 until 2013 I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia and was blocked from these sites. Apostate used to send me sets of Makar's pics by email, so if there were other sets than what he sent me, I didn't see them. I lost touch with him several years ago.

As you say, Jedakk, Inga's indoor crux series was photographed on the afternoon of 9 March 2007, and I believe this was her only crux shoot. The non-crux pictures of her were taken on two later occasions.

Makar did a session with her lasting a couple of hours on the afternoon of 21 March 2007. They met again for over two hours of shooting on the afternoon of 11 May 2007. The pictures and timings appear in his DeviantArt gallery -

Alas, apostate630 has not been seen here for over two years.
