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.

We wish you a very Apocalyptic 2021! Before you whimper and whine because you couldn't party on New Year’s Eve or celebrate it with friends & family: think of all the elderly, the poor, the sick, the homeless and the disabled people who spend EVERY NYE all alone. Think of all those people who work every time while you celebrate. For you it was 1 year of abstinence, for them a lifetime. Maybe next year you’ll invite a poor, disabled or elderly family member or friend to your NYE party. And in that case 202021 has taught us all something. Namaste Greetings from Winter-ish Haspengouw

Because life is more elegant in high heels. Because much of the fun starts once a lady removes her high heels. More on Flickr

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 !

Somewhere around the change of millennia I experimented a bit with something I called Freehand bodypainting . Something like very wild Cobra Art on a living & breathing canvas. No brushes & with paint that is suited for children.  Using the bodies of men & women alike to cover in layers of paint and then see it dry, flake and drop.. all of it to get a shot. At one point we were even invited to do a weekend of live performances of it in a former chapel during an event of the city of Antwerp. Some visitors were surely choqued since the other performance at this venue was a classical musician. Good days!   [ Freehand bodypainting ] = [ When skin has become a breathing canvas of wild, erratic & uninhibited colours ]   More of this session with W&L 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 .

An image made for & dedicated to a great lover of high heels and a great friend for almost 3 decades who unexpectedly passed away on May 8th 2020. At 11AM he was still making silly remarks for my birthday (that very same day) and at 2PM he was gone, leaving us all sad & baffled.  Farewell my friend.

Tiretracks are proof humans have passed before you and no matter how remote the location is you go to you will find tiretracks everywhere.. even on the moon. More from this series 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.

Fun with a blue boa.  Seeing these oldies back makes me want to work with models again. More oldies will follow on Flickr .

Belgium is in a lock down due to the Covid-19 pandemic (the "Corona virus") and all my photo gear is far away.. so let's try to make something simple in a boudoirish style. Originally published on Flickr .

Sometimes simplicity can be beautiful. More of this shoot on Flickr . And yes I am a certified treehugger, a hiker and a nature-loving, outdoorsy type of person.

You don't always have to wait till Spring to see the colors of Nature.. More images from this shoot on Flickr .

Once all animals have been killed for sports, for food, by greed, by pollution, or through the destruction of their habitat.. what.. or who.. will we then hunt and keep as pets? Since this image is " restricted " it cannot be embedded.. watch it here on Flickr . This is a small preview.

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 .
