    Good job with the lights and the pics. Great ass as a motive too. Combine this with some of the suspension bondage you did in the past and it would be perfect. 😜

      Hahaha. Still working on getting the RGBs over to where the suspension bar is, but here’s one from an older shoot playing around with directional lighting…

          All credit to my photographer for that one, as much as “hanging around and looking pretty” is exhausting labor (as I’m sure we can all agree) they really worked some magic with that shoot.

            Makes me wonder how long you were “hanging around” for that photo shoot. But I agree it must have been exhausting for you. In any case the result was worth the effort from both the model and the photographer.

              I’m guessing that pose was only about ten minutes (my sense of the passage of time gets bad when I’m… distracted) but the session itself was a real marathon. Trial run for a performance at a local venue, so we (rigger + photo/spotter + me) must have run through like ten different positions by the end of the night.

                Wow, sounds like you are really commited when you are performing. Hope all of you had some time for relaxation as well inbetween or afterwards.

        Oh you don’t use Bamboo where you are? Here everyone does the bamboo thing lol… I’m not super into shibari. But it’s fun when you have visitors. They’re like “such a nice touch in your interior design” lol… they have no idea what it’s really for.

          Nah, plenty of folks here use it. But I also practice low-level aerial work at home, and unfortunately a big horkin’ steel bar’s ability to withstand thousands of half-falls without failing wins out over the undeniable aesthetic qualities of a bamboo beam.

            Yeah true. You have to be really careful with those rods. Expensive too. I was just wondering because the local shibari community is 100% bamboo 🤭 well except when they use a ring. Those usually have the bdsm symbol in it.

            Ps what is low level aerial work?

              It’s a popular material! Well seasoned bamboo cant be beat for aesthetics. Sadly my ceilings are too low to do any ringwork, it just sacrifices sooo much vertical space.

              And aerial circus arts / aerial dance! I’m not terribly good, but it’s a decent workout and there’s a big local circus art community so its becoming a fun side hobby. Lots of overlap with suspension, too.
