Artistic Nude Bondage Photography - Photo Tips

Tanya lays naked across a bed, the light shining through the bars of her window creates stripes and shadows across her body. Above her hangs a chain.

Soon it will be wrapped around her wrists and feet, binding her tightly and then pulling her, spreading her at the whim of a hidden puppet master.

Bondage photography is not only about the excitement of the fetish, it is also about creating stunningly erotic photographs using poses and light and shade.

Submitting to bondage is deeply sensual. It takes a supreme act of willpower to for the photographer to divorce their mind from the allure of the naked body in front of them and focus on capturing the eroticism of the moment.

The Technical Info

Tanya is lit by one studio flash with a large dish reflector and white diffuser. For the shadows photos a honeycomb filter was placed between the light and the diffuser to give more directional lighting and gobos (shades) added to focus the lighting on her similar to the photo on the right.

Basic editing was done in Adobe Lightroom using basic camera RAW adjustments. A radial filter was also applied to darken and cool the background.
