I’ve always been fascinated by knots and patterns since I was young. I was a weird kid that loved untying knots in shoelaces and playing Cat’s Cradle string games. I guess the skill never really transferred anywhere until recently when I started rigging models for some fetish shoots.

This is one of my first attempts at Rope Bondage art and the first time Fela was fully restrained like this. I didn’t follow any kind of specific pattern, I just got into the zone and did what made sense with my hands and eyes.

In the end, Fela really enjoyed the whole experience so we’re planning doing more Shibari techniques to use in our future shoots together.

When I asked her where her wardrobe was, she says she didn’t bring any.

“Oh, well I guess that makes what we’re shooting today a lot easier to figure out.” Normally for test shoots the model brings along a few outfits or costumes to put on. Apparently, she didn’t have a problem not bringing clothes. Clothed or not, I still think I can take a good picture. =]
