'Alex enjoys his fetish accessories.'
For a long time, I thought fetishes were something to keep hidden. Sexual impulses that should be kept in secret in the dark. I've grown to believe that weaving your passions together is really the healthiest way to handle the different impulsions, passions and parts of our lives. That weaving together of parts is exactly what photographer Saki achieved in his shoots with Alex Hey.
Often, when a fetish is photographed, the model captured can look completely different than they usually do. It's like instead of shooting another side of someone, the goal is shoot someone else. It's as if there's a split, where the different sides are opposing sides and are unable to cohabitate. In this series of shots, Alex remains the same beautiful man he was in the previous set of images. The only real difference is the leather.
I think one of my favorite shots is the image below. It speaks to the vulnerability I referenced and is such a beautiful shot of the aftermath of a very well spent Sunday afternoon.
