You don’t have to be an actual ‘model’ to shoot with me – just someone who is enthusiastic, reliable and would love to create classy erotica. And you don’t have to shoot nude (you'd be surprised how often this question comes up).
Many of the ‘models’ I’ve shot with had little or no previous experience, and what you see here is their first time in rope, and for some it's their very first photo shoot, so I’m very experienced in working with absolute beginners, and with experienced professional models too.
Take a good look at my portfolio to get a feel for my work. If you like what you see, then get in touch and let’s explore what we can create together.
Photoshoot Terms
If I invite you to shoot with me, it will be a TFP collaboration (trade for prints), which means we collaborate together to create pics and no-one gets paid. This may include hair/make up artists under the same TFP agreement and conditions.
Otherwise, if someone is paying me for the shoot, then I can pay you.
I’ll edit a few pics from each shoot or from each set (e.g. if we do 3 sets/locations/ties/clothing changes there will be a few pics form each set) depending on what results we get (e.g. sometimes just the best 2 or 3 images per set, sometimes up to 6).
You will never get all images from our shoot under any circumstances, or the raw unedited images, even if you pay me. Only images I say are of a high enough standard will be released once edited.
I usually take 3-4 weeks to edit images and send them to you. I’ll send you a link where you can download them.
Copyright for all images is mine. You are free to use them for your portfolio & profile and for your own promotion but not for sale under any circumstances without written agreement with me as copyright owner..
Here are some copyright links for your reference:

IMPORTANT; You are not permitted to edit, crop or process the images from our shoot in any way, including removing any watermarks, and can only use them in the form I supplied them to you.
If you don’t like my edits or the end result, let me know, but you do not have permission to edit, crop or change any of my images in any way.
I may need you to sign a model release but it is highly unlikely I will use any images for anything other than my own galleries or portfolios.
By shooting with me you agree to the above terms. If you do not agree then do not shoot with me.
Chaperones and Safety
Your personal safety, as well as health and safety consideratons for the high risk activity of rope bondage, is of the utmost importance. References should always be checked so you feel comfortable and relaxed on your shoot, knowing you are working in a professional environment with someone experienced in shooting nudity/erotica and who is also trained and practiced in Shibari rope bondage.
Some models ask if they can bring a chaperone for the shoot.
Most photographers and models agree that having someone on a shoot who is not part of the creative process generally just gets in the way of the rapport between the model and photographer, can break the creative flow and communication, and can actually detract from the shoot so much that sometimes nothing can be achieved!
If you feel you would like to bring someone with you please consider how this may affect your ability to model and to discuss ideas freely without concern for what your chaperone may think.
If you decide you want to bring someone it is best that they are female and not your boyfriend, husband or male partner as this can often cause unnecessary tension and (un)predictable results.
In most cases chaperones will be asked to wait in another room for the duration for the shoot to leave us free to work unhindered by uninvolved third parties.
Any questions – just get in touch.
