Yesterday we went to a lake where we knew their to be a small landing at the waters edge. There are water lilies on the lake and it’s surrounded by trees. It’s a beautiful location and for a while we’ve been wanting to create a certain image there.

So off we set with a Yukata and obi in a bag, a friend who models for us, a few bits of rope and a camera and tripod.

Luckily we had a beautiful day and the shot we eventually got was I think very beautiful. All the elements of light, setting, bondage and model seemed just right. Even the water was glassy calm. I really think that clover got an amazing image.

I often say that rope is not about rope. This image is not about rope either. I’m sure that looking at it you can form your own opinions of what it is about.

It’s a great feeling when you get something you’ve been wanting to get for a while. I hope you enjoy this images as much as we do.
