"I had so much fun with my shoot, I found a pink vintage Furisode Juban (long sleeved under-kimono) while shopping with a friend so I wanted to incorporate it in some way. I thought it would be fun to juxtapose some shots of the soft pink silk and flowers with others using the starkness of the black silk rope in some fun improvised shibari. I love the way rope feels, it's comfy and gentle but it also has so much potential for roughness, so it's enjoyable both in an aesthetic and sensory way. The strappy lingerie has a very similar feel to the black rope and I love the way my nips peek out of it! I wanted the shoot to be very minimalist so as to make the few clothes and props really stand out, and I think it came together well. Knowing the pictures were going to end up online made it much more racy too. I'm a serious exhibitionist and especially while wearing the rope I got really into it. Overall it was a great experience, I liked the opportunity to confront some of my hangups about parts of my body I'm still learning to love as much as the others, and the chance to be creative in a new way."
