It all starts with education. I never tie with anyone who does not understand the risks involved. I do not entertain “that looks pretty, can I do that?” I take safety seriously. Have you researched this? talked to anyone? tried it before? read books? I will answer any and all questions – I try to be as transparent as possible.
Coming from a strong photographer background, with the no touch policy drilled in my brain, my early attempts at rope did not carry the feeling and emotion I had hoped for. They looked very cold and calculated.
Over the past 18 months I shifted from photographer to rigger, in order to start producing images that I was happy with. I had to change my mindset – along with the way I portray what I do. I am a kinky rigger who documents a session with photos. Touch is inevitable when applying rope – if that bothers you, find a magician.
