This is a collection of photographs depicting artfully arranged bonds - named Shibari, the Japanese style of bondage - that shows captive enthusiasts in their favourite positions: defenceless, at someone else's mercy and left alone in their joyful pain. Bondage sessions are rarely photographed so aesthetically and glamorously. Not just devotees of the strung up will be buying this book off the shelves, but fans of brilliant photography have a wonderful book to add to their collections.

From a Master of Creative Arts,
By
This review is from: Male Bondage: Art Deserves a Witness (Hardcover)
As any industry matures, we begin to see a certain craftsmanship that just didn't exist before. In the adult industry, such is true, though adult media is rarely considered artful or even Avant-garde.
But Darkholme's treatment of bondage as an aesthetic really does define the bondage scene and will become part of our zeitgeist. This tall Asian dabbler in art not only prepares each scene meticulously, but he also improvises with his own ropework and lighting, and finally he photographs his subject with self-taught grace. The result is a palette of moods and predicaments, all with the common theme of individuality and expression. The book is a collector's item, and though I rarely invest in coffee table books, I do highly recommend this one to both BDSM hunters and your average Jane or Joe.

A Classic of its Kind,
By
This review is from: Male Bondage: Art Deserves a Witness (Hardcover)
Artistry in rope and the male figure.
There is almost an industry of itself in pictures of bound females. (Just do a search on the Internet if you don't believe it!) Here is the same sort of pictures, but the subject is the male. The photographer is a professional. And it is published by Bruno Gmunder, the german publisher that pioneered high quality gay publishing. What more can you ask for? Perhaps the most outstanding difference between these photographs and those you find on the Internet is the quality of the rope work. The binding is so symmetrical as to be an art form of its own. The rope is wrapped around ideally shaped, strong, young men. The book is truly a work of art, and a work of art that is not generally appreciated in our society but which will be a cornerstone of affectionados.
