Introducing Lochai, a fetish photographer that I have been watching for awhile now on dA. In fact if it wasnt for him I may not have entered the Erotic Signature contest. Lochai was last years photography winner and seeing his image lead me to the website and eventually entering this years. So special thanks to him!

His work is more of a journalistic approach  to fetish, especially rope bondage. Bringing out the emotion and feelings of those actually in the scene. Along with some others he is one of my mentors in Shibari (he dosent know it) as I start exploring this as an art form myself.

Enjoy the sample of his work below then visit him on one of his sites.

Lesley I have known for a couple years now and she's come a long way baby. Personally I think she should be in front of the lens more but she dosent agree with me =o) I have watched her grow as a photographer and have admired her work along the way.

She shares my passion of women with tattoos and has become one of the best pin-up/retro style photographers I know. Residing in Las Vegas I have yet to met up with this lady (just missed her at Ink&Iron) but I will soon (and try to convince her to get in front of my lens).

Please click read more to see some of her images then visit here on one of her many sites and enjoy her work as I do!

Lets head back to California this time to meet Doug Wade. As the name implies Doug rsides and shoots in San Fransisco area, performing shoots both in studio and on location. Again I met Doug through deviant art and he has in a way been an inspiration. Like me he once held a day job while photogaphing on the side. A while agao he gave up the day job and is now shooting full time. His bussiness model is something like mine as well and I often ask him for his input.

His shoots are mostly simple in nature, alot being clasical poses, but thats what shows the beauty of each woman. Another plus is that most of his subjects are not 'models' but everyday women from and traveling through the area. If any women that view this are ever up in his neck of the woods look him up for a fun and exciting shoot. Thos that enjoy collecting prints and fine art be sure to check out his site or ebay store for lots of great print, many using alternative processing for unique looks.

Not into the nudes? Doug also provides portrait photography services.

Another great friend I met on Deviant Art (and also from Canada again) Is Julia . I have watched her on the site from the begining and watched her grow and blossom into an outstanding photographer. She sees beauty in all things and people. You may notice that a lot of her subjects are curvey. Being a beautiful curvey woman herself she of course sees the beauty there as well. An area that many photographers portfolios lack, mine as well (I hope to rectify that soon), with the narrow view of female beauty this world sometimes holds.

Although I feature images of women here her portfolio is so much more diverse. From of course men and children to just everyday objects, she makes them stand out and tell a story.

While being a single parent (but she is on the prowl) and even modeling herself she still finds time to just wander and take photos and is even giving a stab at going professional.

I hope that you will all open your mind and view female beauty through her eyes, enjoying  the samples below then visiting her on her other sites.
