How Tight Is Your Bondage?

In a word, very.  I like realism, or to be more accurate, insist on realism in my bondage art and believe me when I say, once my models are tied they stay tied.  Gagging someone effectively is a lot harder than you would think but I do my best on that score as well.

My preferred rope is a very inexpensive 3/8" diameter cotton clothesline I purchase in 200 ' bundles for something under 20 bucks, taxes in.  That works out to 10 cents a foot which makes it very affordable.  I'm not pimping the retailer here, but the only place I can find this particular rope in my city is Dom Depot.  I have found through experimentation over the years that while cotton clothesline will leave delicious rope marks, (the girls proudly sport them btw) they don't last long and I have never had an issue with burns of any sort which is not the case with some other types of rope.

I also find this type of rope soft and flexible enough that I can use lots of it (up to 200' + on a single tie), the slack can easily be pulled right out of the bondage making things very secure and a nice tight knot can be had.  A knot so tight in fact that if you are not careful will require safety scissors to cut off.  No slack what so ever and a tight out of reach knot holding everything in place makes for a lovely bondage experience indeed.

If there is a drawback to using cotton clothesline, it's when it comes to suspension.  Not at all suitable as it will not only stretch, but being so thin can cut right into the models flesh.  You can find some examples in my gallery of suspension bondage using the cotton rope true.  However of all the rope choices out there for suspension, I would put cotton clothesline one step above twine.  In fact, if suspension is your thing, do yourself a favor and take lessons.

When I rig a model, neatness is paramount.  Neat and careful rigging looks as tight as it is.  Sloppy work with crossed ropes, loose ends etc. even though tight, just has that loose look about it.  Amateurish as opposed to deliciously devilish and deviously professional.  Part of the appeal of being tied up is the attention given to the person on the receiving end.  To a woman it's the journey, to a man it's the destination and that is where and how things get screwed up.

I'm going somewhere here folks and this is important.  Bondage, to a woman is all about being tied up and lusted after.  Don't you dare touch her, especially in her private regions, once she is bound and helpless.  She is where she wants to be.  For a man, bondage is a means to an end, the end being sex.  Not what the lady wants thank you very much.  Think on that.

Cheers!

Meeting a Bondage Models Mom

Sorry about being absent from the blog thing for the past couple of days, I was busy with bondage business and stuff.  We are putting together a Pinup Bondage event for November 26th, details to follow, which is keeping Gem and I occupied.  My good friend Jennifer had a birthday bash last Thursday which was a barrel of kinky fun.  Wardrobe business with Sisi on Friday and we are moving ahead very nicely on building a first class selection of clothing for our models. And last but not least, my wife was off from work Thursday and Friday and I couldn't get near the computer to blog even if I did have the time.

Now, what's all this about meeting a bondage models mom eh?  Lets make a few things clear here right off the bat.  I'm not referred to as "Uncle" for no reason.  Sounds better than "Dad" and way better than "dirty old man" as most of these attractive women that model for me are young enough to be my daughters.  The bondage aside, I treat each and every one of these young ladies as I would my own daughter or niece.  I've become a bit of a father figure to some of them in fact, which is a role I cherish.

I have met the mothers of two of my models in the past year (I will not say which models) and found them both to be lively conventionalist's, full of life and very, very proud of their daughters.  To be given the opportunity to even meet with a models mommy, let alone spend time with them especially after being introduced as, "Mom, this is Uncle M, the man that ties me up." brings a tear to my eye.  A word of advise fellas.  If this ever happens to you, make damn sure you look mom square in the eyes and as the commercial says, never, ever let her see you sweat.  Try not to stammer either.

My first mommy encounter was at a photo shoot if you can believe it.  I was shooting a dark haired bendy model and her friend on the same day Miss dark haired model mom was in, visiting from out of town.  "Would it be OK if mom came along and watched the photo shoot?"  Hard to say no and I didn't.  The morning of the shoot I picked up my model, her friend that was going to model along side her and of course mom.  It was a good 45 minute drive to the shoot location so we all had our favorite caffeine fixes along with us for the ride.  So far so good.

Along the way I was playing tour guide and as I pointing out landmarks, the young friend of bendy model suddenly asked what high school I went to as a kid and when did I graduate.  I saw no reason to withhold that information, so I told her.  Turns out I went to school with her mom.  Oh dear.  My tea latte dribbled down my chin and landed on my lap at that bit of news. It gets better.  It was at that point that mom called me a pervert.  She had me cold.  Not a leg to stand on.  I had a look in the rear view mirror and caught miss bendy smirking, throughly enjoying my discomfort and wondering aloud how I was going to deal with that stain on my pants.   

Once we all got settled in at location (this was an all day shoot) things went very smoothly indeed.  Mom fit right in, nestled into the couch and spent some quality time with her daughter.  All in all a lot of fun.  Mom and a few other family members received framed prints from the shoot for Christmas that year from a loving daughter.

Moral of the story, keep your nose clean, be honest and the rest takes care of itself.

Cheers!

Pinup Bondage Builds a Wardrobe

I've been around the block a few times in my life and if there is one thing I have learned, it's honesty is the best policy.  Easier on the brain too as you don't have to remember what lies you've told.  So here comes some honesty.  This entire blog thing is a pimp job and any blogger that says otherwise is full of poo.  At heart we are all attention whores and I know of not one single person that blogs, posts, owns a website or what ever that does not bring up the number of hits or followers he or she gets.  Yah, I want your love, admiration, attention and some of your money.  Alrighty then....

Sisi came onto the scene with Uncle M Productions just over a year ago and brought a tremendous amount to the table.  Up until Sisi, our models were digging through closets to find something stunning and suitable to wear to a shoot.  We were hunting for clothing at second hand stores for anything that would give us that pinup retro look.  I ended up buying costumes from a rental shop which are now in the bottom of one of my rope bags.

Sisi has been involved in some fashion on just about all of our shoots in the past 12 months.  We were doing shoots on average twice a month and there was Sisi either as a model or fashion consultant with a suitcase full of her custom clothing.  The erotic bondage art we now create, in the opinion of many, is world class.  So good we have been invited to enter select pieces in art competitions.  Pimp,pimp,pimp,pimp.

In the real world Sisi is self employed and does not work for Uncle M Productions.  She has a rich, full and very busy life, as we all do, and it is not practical or realistic to expect to have Sisi at each and every shoot.  In a recent conversation with my photographer, we discussed the fact that we cannot go back to the days of "closet clothes."  We didn't want to burn Sisi out either.  The time has come in our evolution to start building Uncle M's very own fetish wardrobe.  Suzee666, being our preferred clothier, with few exceptions, is our exclusive provider.  FYI, Uncle M Productions purchases from Suzee666.  Freebies is no way to conduct business.

What have I in the wardrobe to date?  I snapped up the red corset and skirt featured in our Steam Punk series along with one of the cream corsets and a black waist cincher.  One piece a month will give us quite a collection in a very short time indeed.

Visit Sisi on her website.  Site is still under construction I know, but her contact info is there and she is amiable to emails.

Events on the Horizon

Starting in mid October to the end of December, my little posse of models and I are busy with things other than photo shoots.  Thanksgiving, Halloween, and then before you know it, Christmas.  Life gets hectic and we do not do photo shoots for the sake of a photo shoot to fill up an empty space on our website.  This time last year I sat down and planned out the entire year photo shoot wise, in as much detail as I could, knowing how busy we get with life every fall.

However, this is the first year since our inception that Uncle M Productions is in a position to go out and do a little shameless pimping.  We have worked damn hard on our Pinup style of erotic bondage and have been able to produce not one, but two very classy bondage coffee table books.  Sisi of Suzee666 Fashionable Fetish Clothing  has worked her backside off for us in creating some very special clothing indeed.  Of particular note are those cream waist cinchers and corsets Sisi made for our Steampunk series.  A pretty hot item down at her retail outlet and I've bought two for the company myself.

Our newest model Gem, is working with Uncle M in organizing an event in her little shop of kinkiness in the latter part of November.  The evening of Friday the 26th is the tentative date to be confirmed.  Yours truly will be front and center showing the crowd how I rig my models for a photo shoot. (Yes, there will be a real live model there for me to demonstrate on)  Our photographer will be there to answer questions and give insight on the photography aspect of our art.  Sisi will be in attendance with a collection of her fabulous apparel.  If I can persuade them, and I don't see why I cannot, a few of my models that have done work for Pinup will grace us with their presence to answer questions.  Who knows, even sign autographs.

Gem has given me the OK to pimp her out so go and pay her a visit at her store.  X-citement Video    Tell her Uncle M sent you.

Photo CD's in the Works

Running a bondage production company is not unlike any other company that produces goods for sale in a retail market.  You have research and development, manufacturer or production and sales and marketing.  Uncle M Productions has just entered its fourth year in business and up until now, our efforts have been primarily focused on developing our unique style of bondage and building up quite an inventory of high quality photos in the process.

Uncle M Productions has a solid reputation of approaching the business of erotic bondage photography in a professional manner.  A no nonsense, safe, sane place where an attractive woman can participate in creating world class erotic bondage photography art.  We have developed a system that allows us to be efficient yet creative at the same time.  Our little crew can take a woman that has never modeled or been in bondage before in her life, with short notice, and turn her into a work of art, Pinup Bondage style.

Brandi, Helen, Anna, Miss Morta, Ravenas, Sisi, Diana, Donita, Ichigo and now Gem form our core and of late, expanding group of models.  Of this group, some may have done a bit of modelling previously, but none had ever been in bondage much less photographed bound.  Posing sexily while in tight restrictive bondage is harder than you might think and at the end of a shoot day, we are all exhausted.

This leads us to production, sales and marketing.  If I could do all this for free then I could afford to throw it all out there and simply ask for donations to show the love.  As shocking as this may sound, creating this type of high end art is costly.  Web site maintenance and hosting alone is but a small fraction of the budget and over the course of a year adds up.  I'm a big boy and I'm not whining here, just telling you the reality of the business is all.

The good news is there are a multitude of avenues available to get our delicious bondage art to a wanting audience.  Membership on our website, in the first month gives access to well over 6000 photos in 230 plus galleries, short video clips of the girls in motion or as much motion as the bondage allows, behind the scenes comments and insider information.  Hours and hours of perverse fun.  Second month of membership opens up the download gallery.  We do not archive our work so for the grand sum of 40 bucks you get three years of work.  The same collection of art that I have in other words.  I must be crazy.

Coffee table books are now available.  We have glossy cards on high quality paper for sale in bundles of 5.  Prints, autographed and framed can be found in private collections and in select stores.  Shortly, our coffee table books will be available on a CD with some bonus stuff thrown in for good measure.  Just in time for Christmas.  :)

Autographed prints, collector cards, Pinup & Steampunk coffee table books can be found at:
X-citement Video.  Ask for Gem, our newest model to Pinup Bondage.  She has a smoking hot print of herself in some pretty fine bondage.  That photo shoot of Gem is this weeks feature over at Pinup Bondage.  Just saying.  :)

 Lovely Ravenas all set for a busy day in the display window.

The "I Told You So" Hogtie

Near the end of the evening at Exploratorium Friday, Jennifer suggested to a very attractive woman present that she go get tied up by Uncle M.  This petite spitfire turned to me immediately as if she had been hit with an epiphany and stated emphatically "Yes!  Come tie me up!"  Such enthusiasm I thought.  Hummmmmm this could be fun.

My standard tie at my restrictive bondage booth is what I like to refer to as my signature hogtie.  Simple, quick and very effective.  Give me a single 50 foot length of clothesline, a good looking woman,  5 minutes and I will give you a package that is absolutely irresistible.   As I have stated in an earlier blog, I have preformed this hogtie hundreds of times and not one single escape.  The little spitfire or bombshell, I can't decide which but probably both, knew exactly what she was doing, immediately kicked off her heels, placed her hands behind her back and presented herself to me.  Have I ever mentioned I love my job?

As I was forming a length of rope to bind the lady's wrists, as is my custom I asked if she had ever been tied up before, wrist to bedposts don't count.  "Oh yes,"she replied without hesitation, "Please proceed and I would like a crotch rope."  Must be my clean living.  How else can you explain such luck?  There was a knowing smile on her face which made me slightly curious.  One of those "I know something you do not," kind of smiles.

Instead of the basic hogtie with one 50 foot length of rope, I now switched to crotch rope hogtie mode and used two 50 foot lengths.  One length bound her wrists (10-12 feet of it) and the remainder was drawn up to secure her upper arms just above her elbows.  The second length was wrapped around her waist several turns, down between her legs, under and over her tied wrists to her ankles, which were pulled up as tight to her wrists as possible.  Her ankles were bound and the remaining 6 feet or so of rope was brought down from whence it came, between her legs and tied off to the rope around her waist in front.  The harder she tried to pull her ankles down, the harder the crotch rope dug in.  This of course was the effect all this extra effort was about.

This tie necessitated me rolling the young lady onto her side in order to tie off the crotch rope.  At this point a cloud momentarily crossed the spitfires face.  Ut oh.  Crotch rope too tight?  Not tight enough?  Oh dear.  She raised her head off the table as best she could, looked at me and exclaimed, "I can't get out!  I have disjointed thumbs and I can get out of ANYTHING but I can't get out!"  Can't get out until now I smirked inwardly.  Does this women not know who I am?  Does she not read my press?  Apparently not.  Or had she, and that knowing smile earlier was because of her confidence, ill founded as it was, in getting free from Uncle M's bondage?   BWWAAhhhaaHHHAAAhhhaaaa....

Explored at Exploratorium or Gem Gets Tied and Displayed

Last night was Exploratorium at Libido Lounge and I promised a report on how that went.  Exceeded my wildest expectations it did.  Wow.  Gem and I decided we would put on a show and to do so properly we both dressed for the occasion.  Yours truly was attired in a formal dark blue suit, white shirt, vest and bow tie.  Exactly how I dress for the opera and formal dining on cruise ships.  Gem was wearing black tights, a bright lime green wrap around and a spiffy new black waist cincher from Suzee666.  What a handsome couple we made!

As I was one of the booth practitioners, we arrived 30 minutes before the door opened to the explorers which gave me a bit of time to get down to the business of getting my bondage booth prepared.  Part of that preparation was getting Gem all nicely tied up for the evening.  I own a custom made bondage chair that lives at Libido Lounge and tonight Gem and that chair were going to get well acquainted.  Gem kicked off her boots to reveal  tiny, perfectly formed nylon encased feet and happily settled back into the chair and gave me that let's get at it look.

I started the bondage by lashing Gem to the chair back with a 50 foot length of rope around her waist.  My next move was to bind her upper body but Gem sweetly requested I move onto her legs.  Gem adores the sensation of rope wrapping her ankles, knees and upper thighs together and I obliged the young lady. Twenty minutes and 100 feet of rope later Gem is glowing and then inquires as to how I am going to work in a crotch rope.  Scandalous!  Does this imp not know me by now?  "Please, allow me to demonstrate my dear," I growl huskily. Instead of instilling a little fear in Gem all I managed to do with that response was turn up her butterfly meter several notches.  Ah well.

Now a word of crotch ropes.  I will only tie a crotch rope on those models that request them, as you can well imagine things can get delicate and intimate.  Always the professional, my hands are where they need to be, doing what needs to be done and then I get out of Dodge so to speak.  However there are times when I'm beating an exit, I am pulling a fully loaded mule behind me and am not on the express stage coach.  This was such an occasion.  You dog M.  *woof*  

Three hundred and twenty five feet and a full hour of labour finds Gem in what is probably my finest chair tie to date.  Yum-mee.  I mentioned in my previous post that by monopolizing Gem for the evening, the other booth operators were in all likely hood going to get pissed off.  That was not the case at all.  For the entire evening the crowd around Gem was thick and constant.  Every practitioner and guest came to her.  Every one.

Amazing what a few hundred feet of well placed rope can do for a womans popularity.

Bondage Fun at Exploratorium

OK M, we get the bondage part but what's the deal with "Exploratorium?"  Exploratorium is an event that my good friend Jennifer of Libido Lounge dreamed up that allows newcomers to the fetish or kink scene to sample various sensations and experiences.  Libido Lounge is a wonderful adult facility with space aplenty to set up booths or stations where expert practitioners offer a sampling of their respective skill.

One can experience flogging, cupping, sensual touch, wax play, electricity play or e-stim and much, much more at Exploratorium.  My baby of course is the restrictive rope bondage booth.  Typically you get 15 minutes per visitor which does not give me much time at all to be creative with my bondage, so I stick with my signature hogtie.  I love to demonstrate how to completely immobilize a person with one 50 foot length of rope and one knot.  Yep, one knot and a square knot at that.  Done that hogtie hundreds of times and not one escape.

Well tonight is Exploratorium and I'm bringing along a canvas I can get creative with.  No Exploratorium is the same and sometimes I'm very busy at my booth and sometimes customers are few and far between.  What I need is a little advertising at my station. My plan to accomplish this is to create some bondage art as window dressing so to speak.  New model Gem is my canvas and she can expect to be tightly wrapped in upwards of 300 feet of rope this evening.  Nicely perched on my custom bondage chair with a sign up clip board on her lap.

This of course is going to piss off most of the other booth practitioners as Gem is one hot chick that they aren't going to be able to play with.  You would be amazed how much attention a good looking woman artfully bound in a room full of people gathers.  Bees to a pot full of honey.

Let's Talk Bondage Model

would like to make and important point here regarding the women that model for Pinup Bondage and Uncle M Productions.  Not one of them should be considered a "bondage" model, but rather a model that does some bondage.  What I look for in a model is someone that can pull off the pinup look first and would enjoy some good bondage second.

Attitude is also very big with me and I don't care how good looking a potential model is or how much she enjoys bondage and wants in, a crappy attitude excludes the candidate in a heart beat.  Bubbles, I want bubbles.  Sparkling eyes, a ready smile and a sense of humor go a long way and come across in the photos big time.  No self centered prima donna's please.

My plan is to write a little about each member of my model posse and today *eenie, meenie, miney, moe* is our newest member, Gem.  Few of my models use their real names on the Pinup Bondage web site and Gem is no exception.  Hell, I don't use my real name and where did "Uncle M" come from anyway?  Long story, maybe later.

For those of you that are unaware, I have set a little trap to capture potential models and Gem fell right into it.  I'm a cunning bastard and noooooooo, I'm not going to give away the secrets of the trap.  Took me years to refine my little "where to find hot chicks to tie up method" and I'm not sharing with the unwashed masses.  "You poo head M." Yes and thank you for noticing.

Gem passed the entire interview process with flying colours and found herself hogtied, gagged and displayed in front of a room full of appreciative friends and models of Pinup Bondage about a month ago.  First time tied too and was the evenings raffle prize.  Yep, I held a raffle for a secret prize and I had Gem all packaged up on a platform behind a screen for the unveiling.  We had a hell of a time getting Gem untied after the evening and not because of an unyielding knot.  Nope.  Gem wanted to be left hogtied.  Folks we have a keeper!

The universe can be funny at times and a small mishap at a shoot with Helen a couple of days later opened up an opportunity for me to get Gem into some real bondage.  Oops.  What I meant to say, a golden opportunity for Gem to show her stuff.  Helen and Gem are the same size, same body type, same fun loving outgoing personality and most importantly, Gem made herself available on short notice.

Check Gem out on the welcoming page of Pinup Bondage.  The results of her very first bondage experience in front of a camera are next weeks feature.  Hot dog!  Check out Anna in "Lust" while you are there.  :)

Where Do You Practice Your Ties?

Often I have been asked how long I have been practicing bondage, where and how I learned to tie but most of all, do I do practice runs.  The answer to those questions is I have been fascinated with bondage for as long as I can remember,  I learned a lot from studying photos and reverse engineering, and yes I do and have done practice runs.

Truth be known, I do not get in nearly as much practice to try out new ties than I would like to.  Most of my experimentation is done on the fly at photo shoots, usually but not always with happy results.  First order of the day would be to find a suitable partner to practice with.  Notice I said "with" and not "on."  Good bondage is about communication and a willingness to fully participate in the fun.  Nothing worse than having a limp body attached to a disinterested mind when it comes to this sort of thing.

Second order of business is to find a suitable location to practice the art of bondage.  Nothing like a plumpish, balding, middle aged man standing on the models doorstep, rope bags in hand, video camera slung over a shoulder and saying with a toothy grin, "Hiya..ready to get tied up?" to start the day off I say.  Oh dear.  Lets try and be a bit more professional shall we.  

Take the same man with the same kit with the same model and put them in a studio space with a professional photographer and we have something completely different.  "You sly dog Uncle M."  Indeed.  A very good friend of mine, and I'm going to pimp her out here, Jennifer owner of Libido Lounge   http://www.libidoevents.com/ does have a wonderful space where I have on many occasions practiced my craft. Jennifer holds an event called Exporatorium (the event description can be found on the calendar) where I can be found at the restrictive bondage booth.  Oh my, a double pimp.  How utterly shameful of me.

Exploratorium is where I will be this Friday evening and I'm bringing a cookie.  Practice, practice, practice.

Cheers!

Fashionable Fetish Clothing

Fashionable fetish clothing by none other than Suzee666, Uncle M Productions much preferred clothier.  Sisi, the owner of Suzee666 first came to my attention well over a year ago thanks to Miss Morta.  Miss Morta, at her very first shoot with Uncle M, stepped out onto the set wearing this absolutely incredible corset that blew us away.  After a bit of prodding and shameless begging on my part, Miss Morta put me in touch with Sisi and we have not looked back since.

The timing could not of been better.  We were in the process of moving away from having our models dressed in street clothing and shooting them in the corner of a living room to the pinup style we do today.  Fetish clothing for our models was a big missing piece of the puzzle and Sisi was not only very capable of filling that void but very willing.  Sisi and I hit it off immediately.  To say I was impressed by her friendly manner and professionalism is an understatement.  As a big bonus Sisi expressed a desire to model for Pinup Bondage and my oh my....

We are growing at Uncle M Productions and have accumulated quite an inventory of props and the time has come to start building our wardrobe.  As much as I would love to have Sisi and her suitcases full of delicious delights at each and every shoot, that simply is not possible.  To that end I went out and purchased (yes I put my money where my mouth is) a black pin striped waist cincher from Sisi.

Up until I purchased the cincher, the only opportunity I have had to handle any of the apparel Sisi has provided is when a model was in them.  Poor me I know.  Life is tough but what are you going to do?  Now that I am on the topic of handling models while dressed in clothing from Suzee666, with the amount of rope I use and the multiple positions the models are put into while bound, those clothes take a beating.  Sisi never bats an eye while all this rigging, repositioning, struggling, shape forming and what ever else we need to do to get the shot is going on.  At the end of the day and without a single incident, her clothes come out of it without a mark, tear or even a crease.  They are that well made.

Back to the waist cincher.  I know squat about clothing design or manufacture but I do know quality when I see it.  Simply holding the cincher in my hands felt good.  Finely crafted and quality throughout.  Do yourself a favour and check Suzee666 out.  Some examples of how the Fashionable Fetish Clothing by Suzee666 and Uncle M work together can be found by following this link:

My Luv Returns

Many years ago, well over a decade in fact, I discovered chat rooms on the internet and the joys associated with making friends that shared common interests.  This may be a bit of a shocker to you, but my interests mostly revolved around *drum roll* bondage.  To make a very long story short, I found myself immersed in the world of on line Gor.  Yes I'm one of "those."  John Norman, the author and creator of the books of Gor was a bad writer that none the less wove tales that more often than not had plenty of bondage in them.

I met many wonderful people on line and developed friendships with a goodly number of them but one in particular became a close confidant.  As was the custom in online role play she took the name nikko{Masato} which is just a way of saying the lady is with me pal.  FYI, the "M" in Uncle M stands for Masato.  Our online relationship lasted for 8 years, which is an eternity by any standard especially online.  We are talking dog years here folks.

Close to four years ago now life got busy and one by one my chat room friends started to drift away and nikko, though the last to do so, was no exception.  That is when I pushed myself away from the keyboard, got off my ass, went out into the world of light and life and did something concrete to promote my vision of good bondage.  I have been a very, very busy boy indeed since my days of online role play.  Reality is a hell of a lot more fun I assure you.  :)

Just the other day I received an email notification from an account I rarely use any more and in fact the deactivation of that account is on my to-do list.  I'm a bit of a procrastinator so I haven't gotten to-do it yet and good thing.  There was an email from my lost luv nikko.  All this time nikko knew exactly where she was so being lost was news to her.  Nikko reminds me of an adolescent pup that gets distracted by shiny bobbles and accidentally on purpose forgets to check in at home.

It's all good.  The time away has seen us both grow immeasurably and I for one am looking very much forward to catching up on 3 plus years of misadventures in the life of my lost luv.

Private Photo Shoot

Of late I have been asked on several occasions how much we charge for our photo shoots.  The answer of course if we like what we see in each other and you are going to model for us, nothing.  A model release form is signed, appropriate compensation is agreed upon and Uncle M Productions owns all rights to the photos.  However, at this point in time we are not taking on any new models so the opportunity to model in exchange for photos on a one off basis is not an option.

What we have just recently decided to do is offer a basic Pinup Bondage shoot for a fee which would include:

1) Pre-shoot consultation with Uncle M to iron out all the details.  Nothing worse than coming to a shoot unprepared and ending up with photos that are disappointing.
2) A makeup artist will be arranged for to be on set.  Having nice makeup on makes the world of difference in the final results.
3) A basic set design for the shoot.  What's your fantasy?  Let's see if we can set the stage for you.
4) Shoot will last 2-3 hours which allows for two different sets and multiple outfit changes.
5) 75-100 professional quality photos.  All photos will be processed and high resolution jpeg.
6) The client owns the photos.  Uncle M Productions nor the photographer will retain any rights to the photos nor keep copies.  Prints will be the responsibility of the client.
7) Uncle M Productions can direct the client to a photo processing lab that is familiar with our work.  In other words kink friendly.  :)
8) Turn around time typically 3-4 days.

Bondage Models - Where do you find them?

Where do I find all these gorgeous women or where are they hiding?  Answer is I find them everywhere and they are hiding in plain sight.  Diamonds in the bottom of a tropical fish tank.  Right there in front of you, just have to know what you are looking for is all.

All of the women that have modeled for me (30+) reside in Metro Vancouver, B.C., Canada.  Vancouver is a large city so good luck finding any of them if you are so inclined.  Not a single one considers herself a "bondage" model but rather a model that enjoys doing a bit of bondage modelling.  The vast majority of these women had never even been tied up before they came to me so all this was a new experience.

Now this may sound a bit arrogant on my part and I make no apologies what so ever if it does.  My models find me and not the other way around, usually by word of mouth.  On occasion a young woman has found my photos on the web and has contacted me to inquire about a shoot with happy results.  Our newest model Gem came to us via that route.  However I much prefer a potential model come to me through somebody that has modeled with us before.  Lets face it, we are doing visuals here, looks count and I'm terrible at looking at an otherwise beautiful woman and telling her that she is not suitable for our style of bondage photography.  My existing models have no such reservations apparently.  :)  Hell, I'm a great guy but take a very lousy photograph.

What attracts all these women to my particular style of bondage is simple.  We have a very strict no nudity, sex or violence policy that is written in stone.  What you see in our photographs is completely consistent with what goes on behind the scenes.  The entire process from the time we first meet until the model is handed the CD with her shoot photos, is entirely professional in every way possible.  Safe, sane and zero hanky panky.  The model gets a wonderful experience (fantasy fulfilled) and hundreds of professorial quality photos of her own to enjoy.

Our entire crew is honest and reliable and we do what we say we are going to do and don't do what we say we are not going to do.  Where does on go to have very high end, classy, erotic bondage photography taken that is completely safe and comfortable?  Women out there that would love the experience but not willing to have photos of themselves public.  A private shoot.  More on that next.

Welcome to Pinup Bondage Blog

As a bit of an introduction, I am Uncle M, the owner and head deviant of Uncle M Productions.  My passion is erotic bondage reminiscent of a by gone era that put the emphasis on the shear sexiness of the bondage and of course ensuing struggle.  Something about a good looking woman, nicely attired and struggling not too unhappily in tight, secure bondage does something for me.  I have always viewed bondage as a form of eroticism to be enjoyed by the person bound as well of course the person(s) viewing the delightful spectacle before them.

Alas, the bondage out there now a days has been high jacked by the porn industry and the mer mention of the word "bondage" in polite society has become a dirty word.  I simply could not find the type of bondage that excited me anywhere on the internet or in print...anywhere.  Just over three years ago I got off my ass and decided to do something about it.

With the help of a young lady and fellow bondage enthusiast by the name of Brandi, our first foray into the erotic world of bondage was launched.  The first site was Brandibondage after our very first model, Brandi.  At the very beginning I laid in stone our policy of no nudity, sex or violence in any of our work what so ever.  No sex toys, whips, crops or anything that suggested violence or disrespect towards women.  Two years into our venture we moved away from the damsel in distress bondage to a Pinup style and branded ourselves as Pinup Bondage by Uncle M Productions.

This blog is intended to give the reader and inside look at just what goes on, in my life anyway, in the running of a bondage web site.  Get into my head and share my pleasures as I give you a blow by blow account of my days.  What exactly goes into a shoot?  Where do your models come from?  Is the bondage real?  (Oh yah, it surely is) Costumes and sets.  Descriptions of hogties, ball-ties, chair ties, suspension, ball gags, cleave gags, shoes, boots, stockings and pantyhose.  Why we do what we do.  The full Monty in other words.

Join me in my travels.....

Cheers!

Uncle M
