Hi Hywel, Ariel, and all other members of the wonderful RE community.

I thought should take the step to say hello and comment. I’ve been a fan for years and member on and off over the time as well. This time I would like to try and hang in on the membership as Hywel really makes this website more than just a site for pictures. He replies to people personally, provides information willingly, and add to that takes the best damned bondage photographs on the whole internet which is a huge claim to fame. I said in an email to Hywel that there are no photographers in Australia even coming close to the standard of work he produces.

Hywel I’ve watched your work grow better and better and I’m not talking about the beautiful models you shoot or the equipment you use. So much of your latest works show such incredible insight into lighting, are you using reflectors a lot more with your outdoor shoots? The warm glow to your models is what gives me that feeling. But wow what can I say, if I ever get a chance to come to the UK I would love to see how you work. If it would be okay would you mind if I quiz you on some of your setups for a shoot? I love the technical aspects as much as I enjoy the end result.

All the best,
Troy
