Jenni Tapanila is a female photography who likes lots of fake blood and nudity. What the fuck do I really need to say?

Danilo Pasquali is awesomly bizzare. He’s a 33 year old photographer from Italy. His photography is so varied in styles but you can still tell a Danilo Pasquali shot apart from any other. He does some very creative things with masks and he has some great models. Two thumbs up for Danilo Pasquali.

Hikari Kesho is a breathtakingly good fetish/bondage photographer. His models are great and his shots are excellent. Hikari really pushes the envelope and should be in inspiration for any fetish model or photographer alike. I love that it’s all in black & white too.

Well, after much searching, I really wasn’t able to find much about about Thomas Burggraf. It looks like he might be German, and probably lives around there somewhere. He also looks to be in his early thirties, but who knows. Regardless, Thomas Burggraf is one of the best photographers I’ve come across yet. He has a refreshingly rounded style of shooting and does everything from fetish, to portrait, to pin-up girls with muscle cars.

Thomas Burggraf really needs to get his work out there more. I can’t stress enough how amazing it is. Checking out his website will be the highlight of your day, I promise.

Marc Blackie is an absolutely incredible Fetish/BDSM photography from London. His photography is abnormally incredible and his use of black & white contrast is stellar. He describes his work as “being a product of various parts of my mind; my love of the erotic, the female form & sexual fantasy and quite obviously the more sinister underbelly of these things.”

“Marc Blackie’s photographs depict a surreal, heightened eroticism in a manner that manages to be both playful and solemnly ritualistic. In elegantly-shot black and white photos – technically clear and unfussy – women with faces as impassive as kabuki masks (and sometimes, indeed, wearing actual masks) are depicted enacting little scenarios of power and contrast: light against dark; soft against spiky; innocent against corrupted; natural against artificial.

Nobuyoshi Araki is clearly a reference point in Blackie’s work and he shares the Japanese photographer’s interest in bondage themes, but also his dead-pan sense of humour. A more subtle influence, however, comes from the American Francesca Woodman. Woodman – who died by her own hand in 1981 - practised in her photography a kind of moody, backwoods surrealism, in which narrative has been siphoned away, leaving only a layer of queasy, erotic atmosphere and unanswered questions.

It is this same sense of the unknown – the feeling that something as banal as an ice cream cone can be utterly mysterious – mingled with a dark erotic impulse, that forms the heart of Marc Blackie’s work.” - Jim Anderson
