Binding Moments

This project is an exploration of intimacy and connection within the sphere of kink, using shibari as a medium of expression. The aim is to highlight the non-sexual side of kink practice, the moments of connection that occur between two people as they engage in alternative powerplay dynamics.

Too often, kink and shibari photography is focussed solely on the outcome, the end result, while most practitioners acknowledge that it is the journey and process of tying and various other kink practices is where bonds are formed, and needs are met.

Taking a somewhat documentary approach to the creation of art, this series aims to explore the interplay between the subjects as they navigate a rope scene, whilst also expressing the artform of Kinbaku itself.
