I was asked to participate in a #shibari shoot by Minx, a very good model and one that I have shot numerous times. Her professionalism is second to none when it comes to shoots and has a fantastic rapport with the camera.
This shoot involved a trip to lands north, Macclesfield to be exact to the premises of Katy Bear, a #Shibari expert. Now, just in case you were wondering, what has Shibari got to do with Red Shoes?
Well..... Katy Bear produced this pair of fabulous red shoes which took me by surprise and was a fantastic prop to the shoot which was part of the https://sensualshibari.co.uk/ shoot that had been organised.
So, off we ventured and we arrived early on a Sunday morning to the Studio of Katy Bear following a 2 hour journey and I began the process of a very fast learning curve into the world of #Shibari and #ropebondage.
Now, I must say, that this was a new area for me. I was used to shooting what could be classed as #vanillaphotography, models posing in artistic, magazine type shoot style and to be met with a loft with ropes and chains hanging certainly intrigued me! Katy, all stages told me the history of the rope bondage, the type of knots used and why they were placed on certain parts of the body. All very educational and self explanatory after they had been explained!
Minx began to get "roped in" so to speak and the shoot began. Whilst we were shooting, Katy brought out these fantastic shoes so the shoot turned in to a Shibari/Red Shoe Shoot!
