It’s a huge thing to agree to do a nude fetish shoot. For a community of people that are already so heavily stigmatized, I’m blown away when people agree to host me in their space for such an intimate moment. And these two, were a pleasure to photograph. I had the unique challenge of capturing an entire gallery without include the face of N - paired with being outside of my studio in a hotel room I knew I was in for a tricky session. Despite all that, the resulting gallery is a gorgeous one and I’m super happy with it.

The intimacy happens within the tying itself. There’s a pause, and a silence. A shared moment together while one person trusts the other. It’s a suspension of time and it’s breathtaking to witness.

Here’s what B had to say about this experience that she shared with N;

Looking at the finished product of these photos is remarkable. To see such intimacy, closeness, comfort, and happiness between my girlfriend and I: is beautiful.

There was a time several years ago where I never would have thought this would have been a possibility. I grew up in a world where I was taught that being queer was unholy, a flaw, and immoral. For years, I stifled my queer identity so I would not make anyone confused or uncomfortable. I always feared the day I would have to tell my family members about my queerness. I anticipated the biphobic comments, questions, anger and tears and I pushed it all away. I braced myself for inequality and unhappiness. 

When I look at these photos I see love. I see comfort. I see intimacy. I see wholeness. I have found a safe space within my human to explore every ounce of what love has to offer. To invite love, communication, kink, fetish, and exploration into our lives. To be vulnerable and share intimacy in new ways. I see resilience. I see unfaltering adoration and care. 

To have a space to celebrate our love in a society that tears us down is indescribable. We are beautiful bodies pushing back against society’s judgement to love and be loved in the most whole way I have ever experienced.

To all my models: immeasurable gratitude for offering your bodies and your vulnerability.
