I have been doing photography since 2009. As you may know the main focus of my photography is shibari, or rope bondage - as it is popularly known. My work also sometimes includes erotic or artistic nudes.

All of my photography is TFP (trade for print). My goal is to create expressive and beautiful images that are thought provoking and interesting. I have had the pleasure to work with dozens of models, frequently on multiple shoots. Since 2003, when I started, I have done rope with literally hundreds of rope bottoms, many of whom were having their first ever rope experience.

I post my work on the following sites, subject to model approval and terms of service – FB: fb.com/tomfooleryrope, IG: tomsrope, Fetlife: TomFoolery, ModelMayhem: “TomFoolery Rope”. My photographs have been selected 5 times for inclusion in the juried Seattle Erotic Art Festival. My work has been shown at the LA based Cannibal Flower show and other gallery shows in SF and LA. I have been published in a book by SeeMe (http://www.see.me). I am a contributor to the Suspended Animation Book on Suspension Bondage (http://www.suspendedanimationcrew.com/book/) http://www.suspendedanimationcrew.com/book/aboutUs/meetTheCrew.html

I have taught ropework at Folsom Fringe, Kinkfest, Dark Odyssey Surender, kink.com Armory Studio workshop series (for over 5 years). I been a member in good standing with The Scenery, Edges, and the SF Citadel. I am a member in good standing of Seattle based Suspended Animation Crew since 2008 and Redmond OR based Rebel Kink since 2018. I have been asked by them to be their “rope ambassador”. I also offer a monthly rope workshop at my home in Bend. I have done public performances at the Supper Club in SF, Bondage a go-go, Dark Odyssey, Suspended Animation at Burning Man, and here in Bend.

Trust is the most valuable asset for a photographer like me. I have worked for nearly two decades to build trust and create a body of art. My job as a photographer, artist and instructor is to create a safe place where creativity and expression can thrive. Those who have worked with me know this. I am open to constructive discussion with anyone regarding my creative work. If you have any questions please contact me directly.

I can gladly provide references upon request. I also have a fully equipped photo studio in Bend Oregon that is available for rental.
