Knotty Photos is for those who appreciate an aesthetic, want to try something new, or wish to celebrate their sexuality and the joy of being alive without judgment or restraint (sometimes while being restrained).

When I was growing up, a friend of the family had parents cool enough not to hide their Helmut Newton photography books from us. At the time, the youth of America had very little access to erotica. I didn’t realize it then, but those books provided way more than just a way to see naked women – they created a deep appreciation for fetish imagery that would last a lifetime.

For this, I am truly grateful.

After years in the high-tech PR world (where I worked with hundreds of smart, strong, awesome women and learned a lot), I’m out! This is far more fun. Let’s shoot!
