Manifesto

I aim for my work to inhabit liminality, transgression, sacrifice, ritual, power, surrender, death, and becoming.

This is not simply about sex or sexuality. Eroticism here is a language, not the subject.

Thematic elements

I create ritual and devotional photographic works that explore surrender, liminality, and sacred embodiment.

The visual and conceptual lineage of my work draws from:

• occult ritual photography

• post-industrial fetish

• dark romanticism

• black metal iconography

• transgressive surrealism

• martyr / saint / sacrifice imagery

• surrender

• nudity and sexuality

• devotional restraint

• submission

Visual style & inspiration

Less Playboy. Less Suicide Girls. More Caravaggio, Zurbarán, Ribera, Bosch.

Chiaroscuro and tenebrism underpin the lighting approach. Figures emerge from darkness as icons, martyrs, and offerings.

Shibari / Kinbaku / Rope Bondage

I have experience of tying, having learned at various workshops and hosting my own shibari event. I am inspired by renowned Japanese masters of the art.

Take a look at my personal pinboard of images that inspire this approach at Sinterest.

Levels

This work is not coy, soft, or implied.

At its fullest expression, it explores raw, embodied sexuality, surrender, and intensity.

Some projects may involve full frontal nudity, explicit erotic expression, and emotionally or physically demanding performance within clearly defined, consent-led boundaries.

Not every shoot reaches that level and this is the upper end of the spectrum that my work can move into.

This is not suitable for people seeking gentle glamour, or light, bright imagery.

All content, boundaries, and participation levels are discussed in advance.

Nothing is assumed. Nothing is pressured.

This is for you if you are drawn to intensity, ritual, surrender, and explicit adult performance as artistic expression.

If you are unsure, curious but hesitant, please do contact me and be clear, as we can talk about lighter collaboration.

This aims to be adult, consensual, deliberate work.

Please approach it with seriousness and self-awareness.

Location

Locations and settings are deliberately anachronistic and outside modern time, or simply cannot be placed as current. Forests, stone, dirt, ruins, and liminal void-like spaces function as sanctuaries, thresholds, and anti-churches. Nature itself becomes the cathedral.

Seeking subjects

I am seeking subjects interested in participating in this ritual, devotional, and transgressive style of photographic work.

Themes include surrender, sacred embodiment, occult symbolism, and liminal states.

This is not glamour modelling. It is conceptual, performance-based art photography.

This is transgressive, devotional art and not only erotic photography.

Nudity, sexuality, and rope bondage appear in my work, but they are not requirements.

Face and identity can be obscured through masks/poses/lighting/cropping/other creative techniques.

If you don't see yourself in my work because of gender identity, race, body shape, don't let that dissuade you. In fact, if you're interested and you don't think you look like those I've photographed before, then please do get in touch.

Poses and character can range from submissive and objectified to reified and worshipped.

DM me on Instagram or email me if you are interested in participating.
