Bondage Photographer
Fetish art is art that depicts people in fetishistic situations such as S&M, domination/submission, bondage, transvestism and the like, sometimes in combination. It may simply depict a person dressed in fetish clothing, which could include undergarments, stockings, high heels, corsets, or boots. A common fetish theme is a woman dressed as a dominatrix. History Many of the 'classic' 1940s, 1950s and 1960s-era fetish artists such as Eric Stanton and Gene Bilbrew began their careers at Irving Klaw's Movie Star News company (later Nutrix), creating drawings for episodic illustrated bondage stories. In 1946 fetish artist John Coutts (a.k.a. John Willie) founded ''Bizarre'' magazine. Bizarre was first published in Canada, then printed in the U.S., and was the inspiration for a number of new fetish magazines such as ''Bizarre Life''. In 1957 English engineer John Sutcliffe founded ''Atomage'' magazine, which featured images of the rubber clothing he had made. Sutcliffe's ...

Femdom Strappado
A dominatrix (; ) or femdom is a woman who takes the dominant role in BDSM activities. A dominatrix can be of any sexual orientation, but this does not necessarily limit the genders of her submissive partners. Dominatrices are known for inflicting physical pain on their submissive subjects, but this is not done in every case. In some instances erotic humiliation is used, such as verbal humiliation or the assignment of humiliating tasks. Dominatrices also make use of other forms of servitude. A dominatrix is typically a paid professional (''pro-domme'') as the term ''dominatrix'' is little-used within the non-professional BDSM scene. Terminology and etymology ''Dominatrix'' is the feminine form of the Latin ''dominator'', a ruler or lord, and was originally used in a non-sexual sense. Its use in English dates back to at least 1561. Its earliest recorded use in the prevalent modern sense, as a female dominant in sadomasochism, dates to 1961.Pérez Seves, ''Eric Stanton & the His ...

Robert Bishop (bondage Artist)
Robert K. Bishop (1945-1991) was a bondage artist best known for his images of restrained and gagged women published by the House of Milan, for which he also worked as production manager. His main work period was during the 1970s and early 1980s. His work was largely monochrome, rendered using pencil, ink and airbrush. Disputes over Harmony Productions' "love bondage" ethos led to his leaving Harmony Productions for House of Milan. He also worked for Centurian Publications and produced cover illustrations for numerous bondage novels by F. E. Campbell. He also both wrote and illustrated a series of stories describing the misadventures of the character "Fanni Hall". He also made a small number of works depicting men being dominated by women. It has been suggested that Bishop also published under the pseudonym Ashely, but this is disputed. Jeff Gord Jeffrey E. Owen (5 May 1946 - 3 September 2013), better known by his alias Jeff Gord, was a bondage artist and photographer.Ashle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
