Artwork description:

You are seeing a digital copystand image of the actual hand printed photograph that is for sale, it has not been manipulated.

It was shot on black & white negative by me in Miami & hand printed by me in the darkroom when I was living there, it is a 20"x16" hand print, signed artists proof.

My fine art photographs are my personal work, they are not commissioned or set up, you are seeing my life as it happened in front of me exactly as I saw it through the viewfinder.

I was living in Miami & shot a series of reportage images documenting the fetish S&M scene, this is one of my favorite shots, it is very powerful & was very difficult to shoot, the available light was dark & I had to win the co-operation of the people involved, I like that the back lighting gives a halo effect.

Hand held 1/3 of a second at F2.8.

Materials used:

black & white photographic paper mounted on board
