BONDAGE for Photography 2

Are you fascinated and inspired by the aesthetics and emotionality of bondage and Shibari? But you don't have a model for it or you are unsure how to do a Shibari shoot? Or do you just like our work and would like to have the opportunity to be there and take your own pictures? Then this workshop is just right for you!

The workshop is held by Sascha (rigger, photographer) and Sarah (rigger, rope model) . All workshop content is conveyed to you from the perspective and experience of both the giving and the receiving person.

In the first part of the workshop , we briefly introduce you to the two main variants of bondage photography: images that capture a static, posing model - and images that focus on the connection and interaction between the rigger and the model. In addition, we will introduce you to our special “Playshoot” concept. We are moving away from the typical “pretty” aesthetics towards the “subspace” and the visual language that this makes possible.

In the second part of the workshop you will have the opportunity to photograph Sarah ( RopeModel Shibari_Sari ) or the interaction between us. For this we create different sets that include both indoor (studio) and outdoor (assuming suitable weather). Within these sets we will present different restraints (floor, half and full suspension). We design poses and scenarios, if possible, taking into account the wishes and suggestions of the photographer group. Within the different sets you will have ample opportunity to take unique and individual photos

Framework conditions:

1. Duration approx. 6 hours including regular breaks
2. Max. 7 photographers
3. Tea, coffee, snacks and water are provided for the day. We recommend that you bring something with you for your lunch break.
