Author, Educator &, Famous Lifestyle Photographer:

David Lawrence

David Lawrence: I have been in the lifestyle on and off for most of my life. For the past 8 years it has been on a 24/7 basis with my slave judy. I became known in the rope community through my photography and rope work. In July 2003 I found my love and passion for Japanese Inspired Rope Bondage. The influence of the Japanese Style is apparent in my ties. I am self taught and have had the fortunate opportunity to meet, befriend and share knowledge with many of the top riggers from around the world. Sharing knowledge is a passion of mine and I feel a responsibility.

I have had my images of rope bondage published in many International publications such as SECRET Magazine, Skin Two, Marquis, Kink and more. My first book BOUND, Shibari Style Impressions is sold out. My second book reBOUND, Shibari Style Impressions will be launched upon its return from printing in May 2011. I am working on a Men's Shibari Project, similar to reBOUND. And there will be more to come with images sharing my passion for rope and photography.

My rope classes are about sharing knowledge and pushing the limits of the mind. If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced rope enthusiast we can share our knowledge, experience and grow from the interactions within my classes. Remember, my philosophy is simple, the more open you are to experiencing and expansion in your knowledge the more likely it will happen.

So come ready to explore ... the journey is exciting and fulfilling.
