The Dark Cathedral by Red Cathedral

This is one of those series where I spontanously get ideas for during hikes, long walks or even shoots.. and in 99% of those cases I either don't have a model hiding in the backpack or I'm working with a non-BDSM /non-nude model so I can't propose the idea. Hence it's taking me years to get some shots together.  . . The theme of the series is pretty self-explanatory, right? Yes, it's in many senses dehumanising to see both people & objects at the same level.. Some will even complain about the objectification process that speaks from some photos or be shocked about the titles giving more focus to objects than humans. Yes, I'm aware that several people in these photos are out of focus.. and just know that I choose what will be in focus and what not. . This series has it's own album on Flickr . . Do I want to make more of these? Damn right . With you? Maybe . Use the contact form on your left-hand sidebar and we'll see.

.. and when her halo broke, she carved the two halves into horns . I know: halos of light are the hype and I have actually a lot more ideas for ring light pictures. This series was pretty well received on Flickr , so I might do some more. Are you interested? A short behind-the-scenes video on Clapper More from this shoot on Flickr

A slave chooses to submit to a dom/me of their choice. That is a slave's prerogative. You must not force this primary choice upon them.. once they submit and hand themselves over it becomes a different story .. until the slave chooses to use the safe word. The same goes for life in this big & beautiful world. Everybody has the right to make a choice. And I accept their choices as long as their choices      * do not endanger/hurt, the Planet, the animals, my few loved ones or myself,      * do not limit or inhibit my right and ability to make my own choices,     * and they bear the consequences of their own choices without drama. Freedom means having the choice to be free.. or not. & More from this series on Flickr

Why not make some BDSM-tinted images with a macro lens, I mused? Why not make a series of images about a completely overlooked spot of the human body? One that begs to be tortured. One that is often tortured. But one that is so little featured in SM-tinted shoots. So I combined both ideas..   More on Flickr as always.

Having a holiday during the 2nd lockdown of 2020 was a great opportunity to play a bit around with tape on skin (combining BDSM with Body Art, as we brainstormed about for the PVIN/PAIN magazine). After the pandemic there will be hopefully some more taped images and plenty of tattoo pictures. Inked ladies who are interested in creating images (can be boudoir, costume, fine art nude, kinky & Dark Fantasy) with their pretty tattoos are welcome to contact us for collabs in 2021.

How about some easy reading while you wait for the second lockdown of 2020? Would these subjects & cover stir up your interest.. And still be artful/tasty enough to leave it casually lying on the side table when suspected kinksters are visiting? Yes, we are brainstorming about a new magazine that combines bodyart, kinks, art & BDSM (online + print).  The idea for the magazine is to be non-binary in it's approach. Meaning that it would not be only focussed on straight kinksters, nor only on LGBTQIA+ kinksters. But to show both from their darkest/arty-est/most open side and hopefully be a bridge in between both groups. The question is of course whether there are interested viewers/readers,  models (mf+), photographers, tattoo + other artists, bodypiercers, copywriters and sponsors/advertisers in Belgium to realize a magazine like that. But hey, we've already got the 1st cover. Looks promising , doesn't it? More PVIN on Flickr

Some men only need the firm leading hand.. or foot of a woman to become the best version of themselves. For some this is called marriage, for others Femdom. And some other men find their best selves in Art, in War, or in Adventure. Where do you shine brightest? More on Flickr . Where else on this heavily censored internet? Here maybe ?

How to torture a man? What are the weak parts of his body? There is one weak spot in particular I focussed on during this Mistress/slave-shoot. Evidently there is MORE on Flickr !

Every day is a good day too bring out the Wartenberg Wheel. Looking forward to making a femdom version of this image aswel so don't panic if you suddenly see penisses passing in the stream. More from this shoot on Flickr .

Why so serious, a Joker once asked.. More from the Red-Hooded Nipple Torturer is on Flickr .

It is rare that you are asked to shoot in the Fetish Café.. at such times you jump to the occasion and you immediately set your camera's to stylish hi-grain black & white.  The only way to see the other images made that evening is to request access (no money will be charged) to the Flickr-group Fetish Café Antwerpen . Since those images are safety level Restricted.. they can't be imbedded. Some sample-links ( fully anonymous evidently ): https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/44920812375/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/45784456402/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/31962901478/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/31962903998/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/45109135414/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/45109136624/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/redcathedral/45784430222/ You're welcome

Once in a while a model truly dares to go along with your crazy ideas. Here she had to lie still in an ice-cold mountain river. More on Flickr .

Fetish, BDSM, Dark fantasy, ..  it can take many forms..  and it needs the help of many models. More on Flickr & Fetlife And of course: Working as photographer in the Fetish Café   (Join their Flickr group to see all images) 

A very fetish way to keep models anonymous are gasmasks.. and I do have some of those in stock. More images on Flickr .

Urbex locations have their charm when combined with living models. This was a very raw & dehumanizing BDSM- & vegetarian-minded shoot. More on Flickr .

Ropeworks can be very aestetic.. alas I'm not a very good rigger. But i do collabs with talented riggers. More images on Flickr .
