Inside look of the professional and playtime activities of the West Coast fetish scene, guided by a professional dominatrix. The photographer's easy interaction with his subjects results in unusually unselfconscious photos from a hidden world that often takes itself too * no fetish clichés * captures the humour and humanity of real people * vivid colours, jaunty angles, bold cropping Naz also captures images of fetish performance and exhibitionism fetishists dressed up in all kinds of gear and strutting their stuff around the streets, parks, gardens and ubiquitous pools of LA. Introduction by Tony Mitchell of SKIN TWO.
