Erotic Bondage: The Art of Rope

Rating:
Summary: Soft, pretty damsels all bound and knotted-up!
Review: Edward Lee was a recognized painter and sculptor in the UK before taking up fine art photography thirty years ago. His photos have been shown in numerous galleries and have been widely published and purchased for museum and private collections. This book represents an interest in artistic bondage that was only kindled recently when he met and befriended a model named Chloe, whom Edward attributes as the major source of inspiration for this project.

Erotic Bondage: The Art of Rope contains over two-hundred beautiful, black & white images of delicate young ladies in various states of bondage. The melding of rope with skin with hair and various other props, all captured in beautifully toned prints make this one of the most exciting books ever done in this genre. Although there are a few images that could be categorized as extreme, most of the work possesses a more gentle flair. This unique sense of innocence and beauty is achieved perhaps in part because Lee's models are normal, pretty, girl-next-door types, and not the leather clad, Goth queens that so typify the genre. If damsels in distress are your thing, then this is you calling card. The polished, high-end photography is just icing on the cake.
