This hardcover monograph consists features 105 images- primarily male nudes - most in bondage or in a fetishized context.
Those familiar with Castro's evocative erotic images can attest to their celebration of the whimsical, passionate and essentially fluid nature of desire. Street hustlers from Los Angeles' famed Santa Monica Boulevard, intricately bound with leather and rope, and being the primary subjects of Castro's lens since the early 90s, populate a good part of this volume. Castro has taken these "unsung, decadent idols" from the street and portrayed them to reflect his vision. 13 YEARS OF BONDAGE takes us on an aesthetic, cultural and social journey through a "road-less-travelled" in contemporary sexual culture. Castro's images not only challenge, but offers a gaze that celebrates all kinds of sensuality.
