The photographic style in this image reminds me of pin up pictures.  Could this be a “shibari pin up”?  This image also has the long straight lines of the rough textured rope contrasting with the smooth curves and soft skin of this pretty model, suspended in a graceful pose.  This nice black and white image is another good example of combining a beautiful model with excellent rigging and photography to create contemporary shibari art.

The Art of Contemporary Shibari Exhibit at the Fotofest 2012 Biennial will feature works by exceptional shibari riggers and photographers from around the world as well as the United States.

This is one of several prints that will be displayed and offered for sale by the talented shibari artist and photographer, Jim Duvall, from Seattle, Washington.

Here are other images Jim Duvall will display at the the exhibit. You can see images that will be displayed by the other world class shibari artists and photographers here.
