Bondage ballet
I’ve uploaded this as a larger image to allow for print sales.
Model is Joceline. This is from a series I’m working on mixing ballet and bondage’. I’m trying to relate to dancers being tied to their craft and the physical scars and effects such an art form has on the human body.
Bondage ballet belongs to the following groups:
Art of Erotic Visions, Beauty of The Human Body , Blue Room, Body of Work, Fine Art of the Female Form, The Adult Group, The Art of Duo Tone Erotica, The Fine Art of Fetish & Erotica., Who Needs Color For Beauty? - Black & White Art At Its Best and Woman Appreciation Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

I’ve never really “got” fetish and bondage images but I have to say your images are just of such quality, cleverness and technical mastery that you’ve got me rethinking it. Just outstanding images. Could you also put the format you’ve sold in the descriptor rather than the comments please as it’s easier for people to see. Thanks.

Having dated dancers in the past, this does sum up their relationship to the body and the art. Within the confines lies the art of discovering freedom.
Beautifully lit.

This is trully exceptional. Simple, yet says so much. Gives you food for thought. This can be interpreted in different ways, like a true piece of art.

So clever and simple yet stunning. Very well done.
Rory Stapleton
Very evocative…I’ve seen a ballet dancer’s crippled feet after years in the art…they truly suffer for their art…well conceived…congratulations…
Emmett Connell
great concept, really simple and so effective.
katharina
I am always intrigued by the study of opposites. Dance is so much about form, structure, disipline, and control while in it’s very essence if the freedom of spirit, emotions and self expressions. Nice work.
skysthelimit
wonderful! nothing else need be said.
Mloes
This is lovely. No words need to be said on this one! I like a picture that speaks fo itself!

Great way of showing how a ballerina is tied to thier work.
highflying
Nice work!
stupidland
cool man. what a great idea. its effin perverse in an amazing way. ballet and bondage. holy crap. i don’t get over the top at much but its great. ballet is already quite restrictive and controlled. putting it in bondage is just amazing. great concept man. seriously. you are onto something!

Tom Miles
Way to cool. Love the idea.
Roka
An incredibly striking and powerful image.
LauraHartley
Touche! As an ex-ballerina who gave up the dance form when the gorgeous lines, but unnatural poses required to form them became too painful, i can only say that you have sublimely and perfectly captured how i SO often felt! This is such a quirky and yet completely understandable and sensible intermingling – dance, pain, bondage, restraint. Your thoughts and ideas come to fruition seamlessly in your beautiful, arresting images.
Thierry Vincent
This is a great great shot! So much of feeling with so few elements… Instant fav!
Jaeda DeWalt
