Martine With Scissors

Mal Martine doing what our moms always told us not to do - playing with scissors

Mitsu Bound - Again

Beautiful strong and intelligent - Mitsu is an incredible subject to shoot.

Hoping it won't be too long before she is back in front of my lens.

Mal Martine Returns

new york has been cold. snowy. rainy. grey. my usual locations not as viable as i'd like. but when beautiful women like mitsu or in mal martine ask to shoot you don't say "i don't shoot indoors" - you suck it up and produce the best stuff you can. 

Mal has been a source of inspiration for while now. friend. muse. collaborator. enjoy.

Mitsu Bound Against A Wall In Color

I went into this shoot with mixed feelings. Excited to shoot Mitsu again abut disappointed that the February weather was so cold. 10-15 degrees colder than average. I was dying to get her outside. luckily i think i was still able to create a setting of juxtaposition with the still life of a "normal" kitchen against the beauty of the bound woman. Enjoy

Shot with D800 and 58 1.4 with one SB-910 off camera bare.

Mitsu in Black and White and Color: Bound and Tatted Beauty

A long time ago I was just a guy trying to learn how to take pics with studio lights in my apartment. I didn't have a site. I didn't have any serious gear. But I had a desire to learn. I stared with a craigslist ad looking for models willing to shoot tfp. One of the very first to respond was Mitsu. She hadn't done a ton of modeling and I hadn't done a ton of shooting. We produced some nice images like the ones below. These images were some of the ones that contributed to the creation of Stark-Arts. I had no idea really how to light. I was using strobes rather than the speedlites that I use almost exclusively today (which allowed me to escape the studio)

Fast forward 6 years or so and Mitsu and me reconnect and do a new shoot. In the meantime I've learned to tie, learned to shoot images that were not so "stark" and Mitsu somehow became more beautiful. You'll see quite a few posts with this exquisite (and super freaking cool) woman this week and in coming weeks and hopefully I'll find her in front of my lens again in less than 6 years.

Sahrye

@enchantressSahr is a rock star. Easy to shoot. Shows up on time. Beautiful. A chameleon. Rope, Latex, Nude, Fashion, Hair changes. None of it matters. She shows up. She is beautiful. She makes great shots that need no post. She's fearless and in fact embraces challenging locations, poses, and ideas. A wonderful model. An awesome person.

Some "Me Time" Mid Shoot - She shares my passion for abandoned places apparently

Looking Like A badass while taking a call in the middle of a shoot

Smiling Is Real With this woman - each shoot has been a blast

Narcissa at 8 Degrees

1/2 a second in 8 degree weather is an eternity. Narcissa did it with style. Enjoy.

Narcissa Revisited

Sometimes you look through your old work with a new eye and find some gems. This is the case today. I'm going to be posting some older shots over the next week or so as I gear up for 2014. I hope you enjoy.

Rope and Heels and Shoe Sucking

The whole week was a blur of awesome shooting with awesome people. One day I'll go back.

Green Cast Driving Me Nuts

I hate complaining about free. Hate it. Makes me feel petty.
I post shots in a few places. The jpg compression that various sites use create end images with differing results. One of my absolutely favorite sites for everything community fetish related has an issue where the same image posted there and here shows a definite green cast on their site. This is a test.

Mal Martine Stalking the Ruins

@Mal_Martine always looks amazing in front of the lens and this shoot was no different. Latex and feathers - Styling and makeup by Haruka S

 Take two sexy women - put em in public in great outfits. Add a leash. Voila!

Pretty Rope For a Beautiful Woman

I've mentioned here in the past that I love tying Dommes. For some reason I've had good luck getting a few of them to drop their guard and switch a bit even when it was just for some pictures. I'm not positive if it's visible to the viewer at home but when the woman that i'm photographing is naturually dominant and submits to rope or to other submissive type images I'm almost always happy with the results...
