an insight to the photographer
Posted by Dave on 26th November , 2009This is going to give a little insight into me and why I create the work I do. This is going to be like a sort of questionnaire but please if I do not answer something here please feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to get back to you.
How did you become involved in photography?
I have always been interested in interesting photographs particularly or the human body. It is one of the most interesting subjects to look at as no two are the same and have their own unique look. I decided after spending time looking at such images I wanted to try and create some.
I went out and bought a camera just a very basic point and shoot and it spiraled from there.
Why fetish / bondage / BDSM?
This is an interesting question yet a very simple one to answer. I have always had an interest in anything considered out of the normal or kinky. What better to shoot that something you enjoy?
I think that work is always better if the artist truly enjoys the subject matter.
How do people react to your work?
I get a mixture of comments from people that view my work, everything from praise to total disgust. It does not matter what the comments are as it means the person has taken the time to view my work regardless if they love or hate it.
Total Disgust? Are these types of comments common?
Part of the love I have with shooting taboo subjects is pushing the limits just to see what I can get away with. If someone is disgusted it means I have pushed that person’s limit.
What is your favorite thing to shoot?
I really love bondage and to incorporate creative rope work into my photographs. This is something I have an interest in away from photography so it’s only natural it will be included in my work.
What are you plans for your work?
I am going to continue to push the limits of taboo. Try find that line that shouldn’t be crossed and break through it. Watch this space for lots of interesting and perhaps shocking results.
