Hire Me

I shoot high concept, fine-art nude, implied nude, boudoir, performance, and fetish images (with an emphasis on rope bondage). I occasionally shoot for events, as well.

I am happy to shoot in a location of your choosing. I can also provide a small studio space for fashion, fine-art nude, or rope. However, while I can and do shoot under studio conditions, I prefer to find interesting locations to serve as the backdrops (or complements) to the model.

I do not shoot explicit images, hardcore images, or images of implied violence outside of a clear and consensual BDSM context.

Yes, I will tie and photograph you. Yes, I will photograph the rope work that someone else ties. Yes, I will tie someone else for you to shoot or as part of your project. However, I do have limitations and they are unique to each person.

Rope bondage can be extremely dangerous, and adding photography to the mix can increase those risks. The biggest risks include: nerve compression damage which can lead to impaired mobility or complete mobility loss for hours, weeks, months, or longer; positional asphyxiation and fainting; muscle and joint strain or dislocation; and the risks of falling (particularly with fainting).

All of these risks get higher as the experience of both the person tying and the person being tied gets lower, but they are always a risk even with the most experienced practitioners. Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise, or assure you that they have enough experience to make sure those things don’t happen, is lying … either out of ignorance or because they just want to get you in their rope.

Therefore, I try to accurately assess the experience of the people being tied and keep the level of risk for the photoshoot below that level. In general, I will not suspend anyone new to rope, and suspensions of those with limited prior experience will be confined to hip-harness-based, face-up work.

I also recommend you review the content in our introductory rope course regardless of your experience level: Rope Study – Rope 101

Finally, if we do any rope work together, I will ask you to sign this release.

On occasion, I will advertise special discounts on shoots or prints. I will advertise those through my newsletter and post those in the “News” section of my blog and on my social media accounts.

Also, if you are willing to allow me to use the images we create as part of my portfolio, I offer a 10% discount on the total cost of the shoot.

Before the Shoot:

• Beyond the obvious logistics of finding a date and location, I will start with wanting to hear what ideas or goals you have that led you to hire me. I will also discuss any limitations or conditions that will be important to you or your team.
• In some cases that involve challenging rope work, I may ask to meet with you (or the people with whom I will be working) beforehand to prepare and practice if possible.
• We will agree on a contract and be prepared to sign on the date(s) of the shoot.

During the Shoot:

• I will always insist on a third party for any shoot that involves nudity, implied nudity, or fetish work. Often, that means I will bring an assistant. However, you are welcome to bring someone to the shoot, as well, provided they do not interfere in the shoot and/or will be willing to assist as needed.
• I try to make clear before and throughout the shoot that the comfort and safety of the model(s) is my priority.
• I will not ask to move beyond any limits established before the shoot, but I am willing to adapt to the location or changes in goals or readiness.

After the Shoot:

• If rope work is involved: shortly after the shoot, I will check in with all models who were tied to make sure they’re doing well.
• If I did the photography: I will select and process the images that I feel best present our efforts.
• I usually try to send at least one image within a few days of our shoot, and I send all finished images through my client website within the timeframe set in the contract. (The details below are based on my “default” contract, but please note that details may change depending on our negotiations.)
  • I will deliver an online gallery to you that includes all finished/processed images.
  • You are free to share the images as you’d like (with credit as agreed upon in the contract)
  • You can order prints through my online store, but you are also free to download full-sized images for printing on your own.
  • If the contract included granting me the right to use some images in my portfolio, then I will confirm which images you are OK with me using for online sharing, portfolio, and prints.
