I was listening to Nina coaching a private student this evening whilst she introduced the very first steps towards suspension. When she had guided him through the stages of setting up a floor based suspension with MaYa, she began to quiz him on the possibilities and the potential effects on her. How will this change …
I have just uploaded several hundred pictures from a Japanese themed shoot with French model Evan by Cortez77_fr to the members area. This is massive series required two galleries for the sequential shots of a face up takate kote with transitions; almost a tutorial for more experienced riggers who have a good grasp of the …
I have finally got around to uploading two new galleries of some new suspensions with Maya. One is a smaller gallery of black and white pictures inspired by one of the ties in Sugiura’s photos, the other a much more comprehensive colour shoot with a demanding bamboo rigged suspension. This is not to say that …
It seems fairly common practice to run the suspension lines up to the ring or karabiner and then back through the bight where it comes off the knot, depending on how much rope is left, this might be repeated several times. This means that the bight carries a high load on a single strand (see …
It is worth checking back on articles as I often add updates if further thoughts occur or information is otherwise updated. I have decided that this will provide easier and less confusing access to information via a limited number of articles, rather than a multitude of posts on the same or very similar subjects. It …
Recently, a thread was started on Fetlife by somebody who was nervous about buying from my eBay shop having had previous bad experiences online. Here are some comments from the thread. Unbelievably, they were entirely unsolicited and no bribes changed hands! “Esinem’s reputation here on FetLife is pretty much above reproach. My purchase of his …
I have just unearthed one from the archives of a session which I shot with Eden about 3 years ago for Fetish Movies. I had forgotten what fun it was and quite how nicely shot. Anyway, this was my second session with her after the soft and fluffy African Rose video and I decided to …
Having been introduced to Jewell some months ago at Torture Garden by my good friend Adam Anarchy, the conversation inevitably turned to our favourite subject, bondage. For those of you who don’t know, Wiki describes her thus: “Jewell Marceau (born April 12, 1975 in Virginia Beach, Virginia) is a pornographic director, producer and performer who …
The very talented Isobel Williams has been documenting our work again: I’m in Jay Graham’s photographic studio, a converted church in Camden. Nina Russ and Bruce Esinem are tying the ropes. “La Gorgone is the strong, supple model. She can curve her spine like a U-bend. She is so slender that she appears to have …
I have become aware of two suspension related incidents recently, one where the model ended up hitting the floor and the other was within a hair’s-breadth of the same fate. As I have no desire to name names, it will suffice to say that both were highly respected performance riggers. I have removed all names …
