ABOUT ME
MY JOURNEY AS A PHOTOGRAPHER
I first picked a camera and began my unique photography journey in June of 2023. But my journey started more than a decade before that as I assisted my immensely more talented and accomplished photographer wife. She specializes in boudoir, fine art nude and intimate lifestyle photography. While I tried my hand in these genres, I wanted to establish myself and became fascinated in the world of Fetish and BDSM photography, in particular Shibari Photography.
MY JOURNEY AS A SHIBARI RIGGER/ROPE TOP
I began studying Shibari in June of 2022 as a means to an end when my wife showed an interest in Shibari Photography. In order to help find her explore that, I began to learn the art of Shibari myself. Little did I know the rush I would feel the first time I brought a model’s hand behind her back and began to tie her. I wanted to feel that rush more. I began taking private one on one lessons and have attended workshops and conventions to learn my newly found craft.
MY PHILOSOPHY
In my Shibari photography, my goal is to weave the Shibari work into the fabric of a story and not be the focus in and above itself. Both Shibari and Photography are visual artforms. Using the fundamentals of photography to turn a simple picture into a piece of beautiful artwork with solid composition, color theory, lighting and posing, then utilize the ropework to bind those elements together and elevates the image into a piece of art that tells a story.
