BEAR here.
As Schnoff has mentioned, I have been wanting to get into BDSM photography some. We did a session this last weekend and here are a few of the pictures I have decided to share. I hope you enjoy and most comments are welcome provided they are presented with a little “decorum”.

More please.
I guess you’d like a little more feedback. Nice shots! Good lighting, nice composition. Great rope work!
And more please.
This! I’m impressed by the rope work 🙂
Thank you for the comments. It has inspired me to do more.
I am just exploring your blog and back posts and wanted to compliment you on the rope work as well as the pics. Please, please do more 🙂
I read in a later post that you felt unsure about your rigging skills and I can’t fathom why, because your rope work is brilliant. It’s very clean and meticulously applied. You should be quite proud of it! Your sub looks absolutely hot all trussed up so neatly. Very well done, Sir!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. It’s not so much that I think I am horrible at it, but I am also a photographer with a photographer’s eye, so if a knot doesn’t come out quite right or I just can’t seem to find a good way to hide the excess rope tucked away I get a little frustrated. It’s because I can always see places to improve on my skill. I think, and Schnoff and I have discussed this, that I need to allow myself to find times to tie him without worrying about whether it is “pretty” or not at all. Practice makes perfect. Also, it’s difficult because a few years ago Schnoff injured his shoulder pretty badly which makes many chest harnesses unworkable because they hurt his shoulder and it’s not just as simple as turning the tie around and tying the knots in the front. So that is where my frustration comes from at times about my rigging. We may be attending a large local event soon, so if we do, it will be a good time to ask one of my typing “mentors” I guess you can call her about alternate ties for people with shoulder injuries. She has some pretty clever tricks in regard to that.
I totally get where you’re coming from in regard to ‘neat’ knots and ties, because I’m very visually oriented, too. It *really* bugs me to see bondage photos where no concern at all was placed on neatness. C’mon, at least clean up your dump before snapping photos, right?
You have a very discerning eye, which is a gift from the gods. It’s something you’re born with innately –it can’t be taught. (You’re just going to have to let yourself off the hook when you’re playing and not photographing).
That said, I hope you post more pics!
