Minimalist Shibari Session with M

A Shibari boudoir session photograph, featuring a woman in her 30s with purple hair who may be LGBT, tied up with light brown hemp ropes in traditional Japanese rope bondage (Shibari), in Los Angeles.

This was a rather minimalist shibari boudoir photography session with my client M at my studio in Los Angeles. It was a rare cloudy day, and I wanted to convey a sense of softness in the ties and in the color. She went through a lot since the last time we had worked together, and had come out through the other side happier and healthier. I felt honored to document this new stage of her life and her newfound feeling of freedom and confidence in herself.
