Ep125: Photographing Rope - Fact, Fiction and Digital Alchemy, An interview with Renee Robyn

Renee is a Canadian photographer and digital artist, whose kink
journey started in the late 90's. Shibari photography for her
became a visual expression of shapes in defiance of gravity, a
delicate display of sadomasochism. Working with talented riggers,
bottoms and self tying artists, she aims to create strong, clean
kink images that respect the community and the artists. Mya and fox
are big fans of her striking and distinct imagery, and in this
episode, you can hear them discuss a wide range of fascinating
topics, including: Her start as a rope bottom and the motorbike
accident that changed her relationship with pain How she became a
photographer of rope and used her experiences to inform her
photographs The kinds of images she loves to create How she
decides what to shoot The ways she collaborates and the teams she
has for photoshoots Safety measures she uses to mitigate the risk
of her shots What she looks for in rope photos she falls in love
with How she got into composites and digital painting She talks
us through the before, during and after of her ‘Icarus shoot’ And
