Balls & Chain: Ethan by HowRoar Imagery


'Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud.'
William Shakespeare


Earlier this summer, I featured the work of Bill from HowRoar Imagery, and his eye catching work with model Ethan Oliver. (An Adventurous Soul)  Bill sent on such a diverse mix of looks and shots, many of which I  shared in the first piece. This series of images, featuring Ethan bound in leather and chains, required a piece of their own.


I'm generally quite picky when it comes to bondage themed images.  Some, can be incredibly hot, others, straddle a fine line between creative and erotic, and gratuitous and cold.  We all have own tastes, and levels of comfort with certain themes, and for me, there's a fine line with how the power and control elements connected with bondage are creatively depicted..


'He’s an adventurous soul and was willing to try many different types of shots to create something unique and beautiful.'


I loved the results of Bill's collaboration with Ethan.  Bill beautifully capture the erotic reluctance associated with dominance and control without crossing over to cruelty or force.  Even wrapped in leather and chains, Ethan clearly maintains full control, you just have to glance at his beautiful face and into his eyes.   Even bound it's clear Ethan's calling the shots, exacting submissiveness from anyone attempting to rattle his chains.
