German Fetish Ball 2009

Photos by Michael Diamond and Lady Venus


ErosArtist.com has recently been offline, due to a large number of websites originating in China which have hotlinked images from our website - sucking our bandwidth and crashing our sites. We're happy to have finally resolved the issue, and have moved to a new server. We're sorry for those of you who have been looking for photos from the 2009 German Fetish Ball, and have been disappointed to see that nothing has been posted since the event.

2009 German Fetish Ball

This year is the last year that the German Fetish Ball will be in Berlin. In 2010, the host city will be Hamburg. To attend the final Berlin GFB weekend is an honor and I’d like to thank both FetishMovies.com and René (from Xklusiv) for making it happen. This year Michael was able to join me. I felt at ease in Berlin, though not exactly an expert, so it was great showing Michael the places I saw last year.

We were apprehensive about the weather forecast (rainy!!) when we checked it from home, but Friday was actually quite lovely and we took some time to walk off our stiffness from over 10 hours of being in a plane. Having arrived on Friday, we were a little too tired to attend the Kinky Cocktails party that night. We figured getting a good night’s sleep would be a better option for us. The time difference just kills me now that I am getting older!

Saturday we got up and had a little breakfast before heading out to the Fair. It was held in a different venue than last year’s Fair, and this location had a great vibe to it. It was sort of industrial, but also kind of homey. There were a lot of great little locations that would have made for interesting photo sessions. Of course, we saw a lot of our friends, including Rubber Sisters and Latex 101, but we also made some new friends. The BodyCult folks are some very talented people. Their designs are different from that are typically seen in the fetish world. Their pieces are colorful and some of the latex is textured with vertical stripes or even a sort of animal print. As much as I adore black latex, I find that it is so much more exciting to photograph colorful pieces. They combine latex with other textiles like a beautiful red plaid fabric or a green camouflage. Not only does it reduce the cost considerably compared to a design made strictly of latex, but it also is something fresh and unexpected.

We ran into our friend Tim Woodward and before long we were all treated to a little bondage show from Ropemarks. I can scarcely tie my shoes, so I really enjoy watching a good rigger at work. Bob suspended his lovely assistant, Chantal, from a giant winch and she was at least 20 feet in the air. I always get nervous watching these shows, but it ended safely and she seemed quite in bliss.

A short walk later we found ourselves in a nice area of Berlin with a yummy noodle stand, so we took a little break. The buildings piqued Michael’s interest, so off we went to take some photos. Unfortunately, it did start raining, but we were safely on the train by that time. When we ended up near our stop, the skies finally opened and we stood stranded in the train station waiting for the rain to slow. A little bit of time in the hotel lapsed before we were on our way to the next event: Revolution at the KitKat Club.

Last year’s Revolution party was also at the KitKat Club, so I knew that it would be a great party. This nonsmoker appreciated the outside area with the pool for a little cool, fresh air. The club was packed full and we were excited to get some beautiful photos to share with you. Michael photographed a freakshow performance featuring nails being hammered into nostrils, nipple weights bearing more weight than any nipple ever should, and a glass walker. The show’s finale showcased fire play, which is always fun to photograph. There were loads of sweaty bodies gyrating to the loud music and before too long, we were hit by jet lag and we made a hasty retreat back to the hotel for a little sleep.

Sunday was the main event: the 2009 German Fetish Ball at Matrix. On our arrival at the club, we were excited (and quite surprised) to learn that we had been nominated for a European Fetish Award in the Best Idea category. Okay, that was pretty cool. Then we crowded around the main stage and we learned that our free social network site - KinkySpace.com was the winner of the Best Idea category. Considering that we haven’t yet been live with KinkySpace.com for a whole year yet, we were floored to learn of our win. To those who nominated and voted for KinkySpace.com, THANK YOU!! (If you don’t know what KinkySpace.com is, now is a great time for you to come check us out and learn more.)

This year’s fashion show lineup included Savage Wear, Pony Maedchen, Rubber 55, Tatjana Warnecke, and Blacklickorish Latex. The trend seemed to be colorful latex and sleek military-style dresses. As always, the Tatjana Warnecke show did not disappoint. I am still marveling at the crazy-high boots worn during the show. We have covered many fetish fashion shows, but this show was more of a story telling than a typical catwalk show where the models scurry out, pose, and then scurry backstage for their next outfit.

After a short break, the stage was covered with a tarp and some white sheeting for the Ropemarks vs. Kumi show. This time, the rigger was not Bob doing the rigging, it was his partner Chantal (who was tied up earlier at the Fair). It seems that anytime a tarp is placed on the ground, all of the photographers gathered around the stage cringe a little at the thought of some kind of liquid ending up on our camera lenses. (We’ve personally been splashed with water, whipped cream, soapy suds, milk, latex lube, octopus ink, and paint.) Chantal was painting a hanging canvas, but Kumi was playing the role of an unhelpful brat quite well. Before long, Kumi was restrained by Chantal’s ropes and then Kumi became the canvas. It seems that almost every time we see Kumi on stage, she is tied up and covered with some kind of messy liquid like octopus ink or paint. Perhaps that is the only way to tame this feisty fetish beauty?

When the shows wrapped up, Michael and I walked around to photograph the über sexy party guests, all of whom were dressed to impress. The majority of the guests were decked out in their finest latex fashions. Happily, there were some friends at this party like the Swedes (abstinence.se), Honey Hair and David, Alexander Horn, Tim Woodward, Tony Mitchell, and super hot Catwoman Katrina (whom I had met the night before at the KitKit Club).

Michael and I wisely decided not to fly back to the US the next morning (unlike many other parties we attend), so we slept late and took a superb walking tour of Berlin. As I said before, next year’s venue for the German Fetish Ball will be Hamburg. The face of the GFB for 2010 is French fetish model Marie Kalista. This sexy newcomer couldn’t be a better choice – especially as far as Michael is concerned. Finally, we’d be remiss if we didn’t thank FetishMovies.com, for sending us to Berlin and also René for his gracious hospitality. We’ll see you next year in Hamburg!

Fetish Factory 14th Anniversary Weekend

Photos from the Fetish Factory 14th Anniversary Weekend are now live!


This was my fifth Fetish Factory weekend and they just seem to get bigger and bigger each year. Glenn and Donna know how to throw some of the greatest fetish parties in the world, and this past event was no exception to their stellar track record of an awesome time.

There are four photo galleries this year, including all three parties and the afternoon pool party at the host hotel. This year the hotel was totally sold out and filled with kinky friends. In fact, there was even a second hotel for the overflow!

As soon as I returned home from Ft. Lauderdale, I had to get myself packed up and ready to travel to Berlin for the German Fetish Ball. It took me a little longer than usual to get the photo galleries up, and I'm currently working on the GFB pictures which I hope to have up in a day or so.

I want to thank FetishMovies.com for hosting the Fetish Factory 14th anniversary weekend, as well as my trip to cover the event. Without their continued support of the fetish community, events like this would not be as great. Please visit FetishMovies.com and help us continue to provide you with coverage of these wonderful fetish events!

If you've attended the weekend, please feel free to use photos of yourself from my galleries, as long as you leave the ErosArtist and FF logos intact.

Fetish Factory 14th Anniversary Pool Party

OK, here they are... the first pics from the 2009 Fetish Factory 14th anniversary weekend. This gallery is from Saturday afternoon's pool party.

We took over the entire hotel for the 3-day weekend, allowing us to be at full-perv mode all weekend long! I'm heading to Berlin tomorrow for the German Fetish Ball, so this is all I'll be able to get up before I jump back on a plane. I should have time on the flight to finish the rest of FF, so check back soon for the rest of the weekend's pics.

Thanks again to FetishMovies.com for sponsoring the event and making the weekend possible, as well as sending me to photograph the weekend for you!

Essen Fetish Evolution Weekend 2009

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on ErosArtist.com, and it feels good to be back photographing again! We just returned from the 2009 Fetish Evolution Weekend in Essen, Germany over Easter weekend, and I'm happy to announce that the photos are now live!

I've spent the past few days editing photos, and my brain is a little fried... so stop back in a couple of days if you'd like to read our take on the weekend :).

We would like to thank FetishMovies.com for sponsoring the event and making the weekend possible, as well as sending Lady Venus and myself to photograph the weekend for you!

In other news, our social networking site - KinkySpace.com is growing nicely and now has just about 8,000 members! We've been making improvements on an almost daily basis, so if you haven't been there for a while check back! If you haven't joined KinkySpace yet - why not, it's free and fetish friendly!!

2009 Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN

Photos by Lady Venus and Michael Diamond


We've just returned from another Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN show in Las Vegas, and posted a gallery from the expo. The show was much smaller this year, and it was obvious that the economy is affecting the adult entertainment industry. Many familiar studios didn't even make an appearance, such as Naughty America, Lexington Steele's Mercenary Pictures, Club Jenna, and Tera Patrick's company, TeraVision to name a few. Not only were there fewer studios and vendors, the hall seemed to be filled with considerably fewer fans as well.


For the past couple of years, I photographed the AVN awards and the red carpet, but decided not to do so this year. Frankly, the red carpet is not fun to photograph because of the aggressive and rude paparazzi, pushing their way to the front of the line. This year the gallery is a little smaller, but we hope you enjoy checking out all of the stars at the 2009 AEE!


Thanks again to HotMovies.com for sponsoring our trip to cover the 2009 AEE and AVN!

This year marked the 12th Diabolique charity ball held in Philadelphia. We love this local event, and had a great time as usual! Thanks again to Kali from Passional Boutique for organizing this wonderful event that benefits a number of worthwhile charities. This year the charities benefiting from the ball included; Bread and Roses, Women's Therapy Center, and the Woodhull Foundation.

The theme for this year's party was "Super Heroes vs Super Villians. We hope you enjoy our gallery from Diabolique!

Kink in the Caribbean 9 - Photos now live!

Photos by Michael Diamond


There is no other fetish event in the world that compares to Kink in the Caribbean. Imagine a week in paradise, surrounded by fellow kinksters living in latex, soaking up the sun, and enjoying a week of decadent play! We’re talking about 7 days of non-stop partying, drinking, socializing and playing at Hedonism 3, the all-inclusive adult resort in Jamaica.

At Kink in the Caribbean, fetishists from around the world gather for seven days to socialize in an atmosphere of acceptance that is unlike anywhere else. The week is filled with a different themed party each night, workshops and shopping, dancing and playing, all intermixed with the resort's usual activities such as snorkeling, horseback riding and off-site day trips. The guests include fetish models, Dommes, submissives, kinky couples and even the occasional pervy photographer or two! But whether you come alone or as a couple, you are sure to make new friends and bond in a way that is not possible at any other fetish event.

I was fortunate to have shared the privilege of photographing Kink in the Caribbean 9 with my favorite all-time photographer – Philip Warner, ie. Lithium Picnic. I owe Philip a debt of gratitude for saving my ass this year, as in my haste to pack and get to Jamaica I had forgotten to pack my camera battery charger! Thankfully Philip also uses a Canon 5D – and graciously lent me his charger for the week.

For the second year in a row, FetishMovies.com, sponsored Kink in the Caribbean and my trip to photograph the event. Besides shooting all of the day to day fun, I also was fortunate to have some private shoots with some of my favorite fetish models and friends such as Rebecca of RebeccasRubberRoom.com, Dante Posh, Ms. V, and my newest friend S1N FIST3D. I'll be posting pics from these shoots in the coming weeks.

The week flew by, and I shot a few thousand photos which I am still editing. For now, however, I’m posting all of the photos from the daily parties, fashion shows, and play throughout the week. I hope you enjoy the large gallery and consider adding Kink in the Caribbean to your wish list of kinky things to do in 2009!

Many of the Kink in the Caribbean friends are already on KinkySpace.com and have joined the Kink in the Caribbean group. Join our new FREE social networking site for Kinky friends now and connect with other Kinksters! In just 5 weeks, KinkySpace.com has grown to over 2400 members - and we couldn't be happier!

Fantasy Fest 2008

Photos by Michael Diamond and Lady Venus (LV) - article by Lady Venus




Fantasy Fest 2008 has come and gone and it was another exciting time in Key West, complete with pirates, drag queens, political pundits, Key Lime pie, and quite a lot of rainfall. When my plane landed, parts of the tarmac were under so much water that the planes had to maneuver around the enormous pools of water. Many roads were under too much water to pass through safely in a car, but I was certain that the wet weather would not deter attendees who had waited one year for this great event.

Michael and I finally had the chance to wear our super keen KinkySpace.com gear to someplace other than to the grocery store! We wore our new t-shirts and hats, and we also sported a few KinkySpace.com messenger bags that were decorated by a friend. Walking through the streets was not easy because there were so many people there, but also because we kept getting stopped by people curious about just what the hell KinkySpace.com is. It seemed that there was a lot of interest and we couldn't be happier with the response we received. So many people wanted KinkySpace.com t-shirts that we set up an online store for Kinky gear so that you can tell the world that you are Kinky, too!

Now, let's talk about Fantasy Fest. Although the US economy is in a downward spiral, that did not seem to put an extreme damper on the festivities. We did notice, however, that there were fewer people in body paint this year, possibly because of the expense of getting painted. Though not as many painted bodies roamed the streets, there was no shortage of revelers in all sorts of costumes. This year's theme was Pirates, Pundits, and Political Party Animals. Since Captain Morgan was the main event sponsor, there were pirates, pirate wenches, and parrots as far as the eye could see.

Not surprisingly, we also saw many costumes and parade floats with a decidedly political influence. Yep, you betcha there were lots of Sarah Palin lookalikes (complete with somewhat dysfunctional families in tow), plenty of pigs wearing lipstick, and even one gentleman who was a dead ringer for John McCain! We spotted many Barack Obama supporters as well, including some kitty cats and drag queens. The best campaign sign that I spotted (and absconded with!) was a "Drag Queens for Obama" sign. A great number of the 62 parade entries also sported a decidedly political theme, not surprising with the US presidential elections looming in the coming week. In fact, there was even a float with a bunch of blue dress-wearing Monica Lewinsky dancers. (Of course, there were some Clintons with cigars on that float as well.)

Much of my time was spent up near the 801 Bourbon Bar so that I could watch all the sexy gay men in various states of undress gyrate and tantalize both men and women in the hot sun. Much to my amazement, the drag queens were dressed to the nines and they all looked beautiful, despite the unrelenting humidity. I wore a t-shirt and shorts and felt like a hot mess, but these drag queens worked the hell out of their sexy dresses. I would like to offer a big thank you to Miss Sushi who allowed me to sit out on the balcony of the bar during the parade to take photos. Though I am afraid of heights, I think that I got some great shots to share with you.

Michael had a street-level view of the parade at the La Concha hotel. He remembers that he was squished against the barriers last year, but he said that this year it was not as bad. As I mentioned before, the sputtering US economy might have had an influence on the number of party-goers. In fact, when checking in to the hotel, Michael was offered a balcony suite. Normally the balcony suites are booked a year in advance!

Economic recession or not, Fantasy Fest was a great time again this year and we would like to thank HotMovies.com for sponsoring Fantasy Fest and our trip to cover it. Michael and I are already planning our costumes for next year!

Stoya, Digital Playground's Pirates 2 star - before she was famous!

Photos by Michael Diamond
View the gallery here.

On a chilly spring day in 2006, I met a young alt model from Philadelphia named Stoya. She had blue hair, porcelain white skin, an engaging smile, and was only 19 years old. From the first moment I saw her, I knew that she was something special. Soft spoken and shy, I had no idea exactly how special this girl would turn out to be.

Stoya had never appeared on video before and she was reluctant to do anything sexual, but agreed to allow me to follow her and her friend Cyndi around the streets and alleys of Philadelphia to photograph and videotape whatever might happen. The day started very innocently, as I shot various fetish short clips such as smoking, kissing, and lollipop licking... but it wasn't long before the shoot took an erotic twist.

I could tell that the two young beauties were enjoying being exhibitionists. Dressed in short skirts and the highest heels, we strolled around the city until we found a secluded alley. The girls were horny and ready to play, and I was there to record the whole thing! The possibility of being caught only fueled their lust for each other. It wasn't long before Cyndi was on her knees pulling Stoya's panties off. A sign warning of a security camera did nothing to dissuade the girls from exploring each other's bodies in public for the first time. We were lucky not to get caught, and I ended up with a set of some pretty hot images!

Throughout 2006 I shot Stoya two more times, in various fetish videos that included girl/girl tickling, bathing, shaving her legs, and dressing in latex.

The video footage of Stoya was filed away, and sat in a box for two years before finally being rediscovered. None of the video content of this future porn superstar has ever been seen before. Stoya only shot a couple more soft core videos before becoming a contract girl for Digital Playground. She will soon be appearing in Pirates 2, and has become one of the hottest new porn stars of 2008.

See Stoya before she was a star, but don't let that innocent face fool you, we know just how nasty this girl can be! I'm happy to announce that the video, "Shadowing Stoya" is now available on HotMovies.com. As my gift to you, watch 30 minutes of the video for free by clicking this link!

In other news, our Kinky social networking site - KinkySpace.com will be going live in just two days! The site has over 150 people on it already who have been helping test the site before launch. It's getting rave reviews, and promises to be the best free adult social networking site on the web! Join KinkySpace.com now and meet old and new friends who are making the move to KinkySpace :).

This is the second set from Lady Venus' shoot with two fabulous fetish models in Munich earlier this year: Valentina and BooBZee.

This colorful latex set is the second of three scenes she shot with these gorgeous Italian fetish models.

Sorry it's been so long since we've updated ErosArtist! The good news is that our new social networking site KinkySpace.com is getting closer to launch! The site is coming along unbelievably well, and we're just finishing up some details before it's totally ready to go.

The scheduled launch date for KinkySpace is Oct. 10th at 10:00 am (10/10 at 10:10). Sign up now for notice! If you're tired of the MySpace and FaceBook restrictions, give KinkySpace a try... I think you're going to find it quite familiar :)

Fetish Factory Tampa party 2008

Photos by Michael Diamond

Last weekend was FetishCon, a long weekend of fetish shopping, education, photographing and modeling, socializing and partying. The entire weekend took place in the host hotel, including the evening parties in the hotel ballroom.

It was a welcome relief this year to have another option. Thanks to FetishMovies.com and the Fetish Factory, there were two off-site parties that in typical Fetish Factory fashion, kicked ass!

I missed the Friday night party, but thankfully made it to Saturday's night at the Czar night club in Tampa. Not only was it great to get out of the hotel for the night, but the venue couldn't have been any better! The place was packed, and the crowd was in party mode. If you've never been to a Fetish Factory party, I suggest you make your way down to Ft. Lauderdale for one of the monthly parties.

Here's the gallery!

FetishCon 2008 Photos are now live!

Photos by Michael Diamond and Lady Venus (LV)


2008 marked the fifth year that ErosArts has been to FetishCon. After five years, one might think that we have seen it all and that we would simply be going through the motions, but that was certainly not the case! As usual, we saw lots of old friends, but we also made a few new ones, too. Of course, Vesta, Genesis Lynn, and Stacy Burke were all in attendance, and we thank them for putting together such a great event. Also prominently featured were the folks of Clips4Sale.com, who were the diamond sponsor for this year's FetishCon event. The Clips4Sale booth not only featured some excellent swag, hot girls, and candy, but there were also some interesting body casting demonstrations going on throughout the event. We would be remiss if we didn't mention and thank FetishMovies.com, who again sponsored our trip to FetishCon as well as being a FetishCon sponsor.

Most excitingly for Michael and myself, this was out first event during which we had the chance to wear our spiffy new KinkySpace.com hats and t-shirts! The response from everyone was great, and we are very excited to launch our new social networking site for adults. KinkySpace.com will be a social networking site that BDSM people, swingers, nudists, bondage enthusiasts, GLBT folks, goth people, club kids, and otherwise unspecified perverts in general can come to hang out without fear of having their profile deleted for no apparent reason. It should be ready to go in just a few short weeks and we hope that you will join us there. Some of our friends were also excited about KinkySpace.com and were happy to pose with our t-shirts. Shall I be a name dropper? Okay, let's see...We had Jean Bardot, Anastasia Pierce, Lew Rubens, Sabrina Fox, and RubberDoll all happily showing off KinkySpace.com t-shirts. Though wearing a gorgeous latex dress, Anastasia was gracious enough to put the shirt on right over her latex. Thanks, Anastasia! :) So all that being said, please go to KinkySpace.com and enter your e-mail address so that you will automatically be notified as soon as we are ready to introduce you to our site. We won’t spam you, either. Honestly, it is just me and Michael and we aren’t computer-savvy enough to bother spamming. This will be a great site for you to network with like-minded kinky folks.

But I digress.

Where was I??

Ah. FetishCon 2008. The expo hall was a place where there were fetish models, damsels in distress, super heroines, and shopping, too! A big event was the Super Heroine Showdown II hosted by well-known comic book guru George Perez. Well over a dozen beauties (my faves were Kendra James, Vivian Ireene Pierce, Diana Knight, and Jewell Marceau, BTW) donned their most heroine-ific costumes and were interviewed by the judges to determine who would be the next super heroine. The proceedings were broken up by some villains and then all hell broke loose. Girls were fighting and rolling around on the stage and some were being tied up by others. It was an all-out fiasco! Luckily, that is what the crowd came to see and they gleefully cheered on the girls and snapped lots of photos. Of course, if sexy girls wearing form-fitting costumes and boots while fighting with one another is not your thing, don't fear! There were many other things to occupy the time. If you had a shopping itch to scratch, this was the place. Torvea.com were sponsors of FetishCon and they had a nice array of cuffs, canes, floggers, and various sex toys for those into such things. Of course, if you came to FetishCon and your bags were lost by the airline, there would be no need to worry! Vendors were selling latex, girdles, corsets, shoes, and pretty much anything one would have needed to be dressed appropriately for the festivities.

Many folks spent a good amount of time at the pool, which was open 24 hours a day during the show. At night is when the pool scene came to life, complete with a bar, a DJ, and a stage for shows, the pool was the place to relax and hang out with friends. I even made it to the pool this year and received a lovely foot rub from a foot boy who was eager to offer his services to the ladies. Kumi wore an adorable green latex swim suit, complete with a swim cap. Jean Bardot wore a black latex bikini as she relaxed poolside with a foot rub. Anastasia showed up to the pool in a t-shirt and black thong, looking as lovely as ever. There was no full nudity allowed, but that did not hinder anyone having some fun. The blow-up beach balls were a hit as people tossed them around the pool. Of course, I left early around 3:00 am because I had a flight home in just a few hours. I am sure that the party went on well into the wee hours of the morning, though.

There were several parties (conveniently) held right at the hotel. Not everyone wore fetish gear, but the parties were a lot of fun and a great place to do some people watching. The fashion shows were brief, but they showcased some exciting designers and some super hot models (including one of my faves, Lady Lethe, in a turquoise latex bikini). At the Saturday night party Lew Rubens tied up vivacious (and TALL!!) bondage model Sabrina Fox. (FYI, we did a Sybian shoot with Miss Sabrina that was HOT, HOT, HOT!) She was tied and suspended in a very lady-like sitting position with her long legs crossed. After making sure that she was securely tied, Lew tasked Sabrina to undo herself from the bondage. It was an exciting scene that (I think) yielded some lovely photos that you can view in our gallery.

The time quickly flew by and FetishCon ended before we knew it, and we (luckily) got out before the inclement weather hit. We are already looking forward to next year’s insanity. Oh yeah, don’t forget to check out KinkySpace.com!!! I wish the Michael paid me each time I wrote KinkySpace.com. Maybe I’ll mention that to him…

Just in case, KinkySpace.com!!!!!!

Montreal's Kinky Festival photos are now live!

Photos by Michael Diamond

It’s been a very hectic couple of months, so I apologize for the lack of updates. We’ve been working very hard on the new social networking site, KinkySpace.com. The site is coming along quite well, and I’m very excited and anxious to launch soon! There are quite a few tweaks that we need to do before it’s ready. So far, we have the ability to create your own unique profile by either using CSS code or by using our custom made profile creator to make it easy to make a great looking page without knowing CSS. This is something I’m very proud of, as I think it’s going to separate KinkySpace from a lot of other fetish or adult social networking sites that box you into a certain look and don’t give you much option to create a unique identity.

We’ve tried to pull the best aspects of the other mainstream social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, while keeping a fetish flavor. I think it’s exactly what we need right now, a place where we can settle in without fear of being deleted because our lifestyle is found to be offensive by some. Sign up now to be emailed when the site is ready for you to make a profile and start making your own Kinky Space!

Anyway, onto the newest update… the Montreal’s Kinky Festival 2008! I’m heading to FetishCon in about an hour, so I’ll try to write a little update about the Kinky Festival soon! Enjoy the photos here.

Mistress Coral FemDomme photos from 2004

July has been a slow month as far as events go, next month however is a different story. In August I'll be heading north to Montreal for the Kinky Festival, which will be my first time to this event. I've heard a lot of good things about the festival, and can't wait to see what true lifestyle fetish friends from Montreal have coming! Following Kinky Festival is FetishCon! This will be our 5th FetishCon, and we're looking forward to seeing old friends and shooting some great content while in Tampa, Florida.

In the meanwhile, here is one of our first FemDomme photo sets from 2004. This set is a female domination scene with Philadelphia Dominatrix, Mistress Coral Korrupt. This was the third scene that we ever shot on video, and Mistress Coral put her little slave through a range of humiliations. The video, "Such a Teeny Boy", has a little something for everybody, including caning, smoking, facesitting, bastinado, and the very first time this subby has his ass violated with a strap-on!

Libertine Ball 2008 in Philadelphia

View the gallery here.

2008 marked the 5-year anniversary of ErosArts photographing the Libertine ball in Philadelphia. This year's theme was "Pervy Pirates, Kink on the High Seas" and we haven't seen so many pirates since Fantasy Fest in Key West. Incidentally, this year's theme for Fantasy Fest is also pirate-based. We were excited to see that nearly every party-goer dressed on theme. In addition to swashbuckling pirates and tasty pirate wenches, we even saw a few butt pirates.

Despite a camera malfunction, we managed to shoot a small gallery of the performers and the crowd. We would like to thank Kali Morgan of Passional for allowing us to photograph these great Philadelphia charity events for the past five years. Additionally, we want to wish our friend Mimi Divine our very best wishes on her upcoming move!

Enjoy the gallery :).

Exlusive Latex Gallery with Fetish Models Valentina and BooBZee

Photos by Lady Venus
View the gallery here.

On a hot May day in the Munich suburbs, I had the chance to photograph two fabulous fetish models: Valentina and BooBZee. I met Valentina at the Fetish Evolution weekend in Essen back in March. She was perfectly pleasant and after a few e-mails, we decided to arrange a photo shoot on my next trip to Munich for BoundCon. It is not common for me to be able to shoot fetish models in an actual, controlled shoot because I have a day job that has absolutely nothing to do with the fetish world. Rather, it is more common for me to shoot models in latex fashion shows or at different fetish parties. The chance to photograph Valentina was something that I could not resist!

Valentina's beau and his friend came to pick up both me and Michael at our hotel and we had a nice drive to a beautiful home in the Munich suburbs. Since time was limited, we had to work rather quickly. Unfortunately, we could not shoot outside because of the neighbors, but the interior of the house had some great spaces. We utilized the the sauna, the living room couch, and the kitchen. In this particular photo set you will see Valentina and BooBZee in beautiful latex as they lounge together on the couch. BooBZee even did a little knitting wearing head-to-to black latex as I took photos of her! Valentina's cat suit from HW Design was beautiful and it was the first time that she did a shoot wearing it. It was transparent black latex and she looked incredibly sexy in it. The transparent black latex is different from the typical smoky transparent latex or the more flesh-toned latex and it photographs beautifully. Both ladies were incredibly willing to do what I asked them throughout the shoot and I think that I was able to get some great shots.

There will be two more updates in the future. One set is of Valentina in a leopard cat suit (also from HW Design) alone in the sauna. The other set of photos is of Valentina and BooBZee being domestic in the kitchen. I can tell you that there is a knife, a juicing machine, and lots of fruit in that particular set. I hope that you enjoy the photos!

Photos by Michael Diamond

Finally, the 2008 Fetish Factory 13th Anniversary photos are now live! It's been an insane month so far, with travel to Florida for the Fetish Factory party, followed immediately by a trip to Munich for BoundCon V, and then after a couple of days I'm now in Los Angeles for LA Erotica! I finally have the remaining two days photo galleries live. It's quite late, and I have not had time to write a follow up from Fetish Factory, but I'll try to get something written during the next few days.

Look for photos from BoundCon sometimes towards the end of next week or beginning of the following. I haven't had time to even start going through the hundreds of photos both I and Lady Venus shot while in Germany. There are some really cool bondage, suspension, and other fetish photos coming, so keep checking back!

Well, here it is... Fetish Factory's 13th anniversary photo gallery from the Friday night Beat and Greet party! I have two more nights of photos to edit, and this gallery is the smallest by far. It may take me a little longer than usual to get everything edited and live, as I'll be heading to Munich in two days for the Munich BoundCon and I doubt I will have the time to get Saturday and Sunday night's photos finished by the time I leave. Bookmark ErosArtist.com and check back frequently for new fetish updates!

100 New Fetish Galleries - What's Your Fetish?

Over the past four years, we have been extremely fortunate to have attended and photographed some of the greatest fetish parties and adult events around the world. During this time, we've taken nearly 14,000 photographs! In this wide array of fetish imagery, there are examples of some of the most common and uncommon niche fetishes that you can imagine.

As I looked back through this monumental collection of fetish pictures, I realized that most photos could fit into many different categories. For example, a photo of a beautiful brunette fetish model, wearing a latex hood and gloves, with a collar around her neck and smoking a cigarette would satisfy the taste of at least six different fetishes! So, with the help of my talented brother (who is a terrific photographer and programmer...LiberatedEye.com), we've created a new format for ErosArtist.com.

After months of hard work, we have tagged thousands of images to fit each of the fetish categories that a particular photo encompasses, and have merged the collection into nearly 100 niche fetish galleries! Below you'll find a screenshot of the new image page to help you quickly learn to navigate the new format. Each photo appears in one or more galleries. Each fetish category also links to a selection of fetish videos on ErosArtsVOD.com (with 20 free minutes to watch)! As the site continues to grow we will be adding various new features such as links to an array of fetish community sites and niche video and photo sites.

Included in the list of fetish galleries are the following collections: alt models, amazons, animal play, armpit fetish, Asian, ass fetish, bald, balloon fetish, bathing and showering, bdsm, belly button fetish, big tits, blondes, body modification, body painting, bondage, boot fetish, breasts, brunettes, brunettes, burlesque, caged beauties, candle wax, catsuit, cbt, cfnm (clothed female nude male), clown fetish, collars, corporal punishment, corsets, costumes, crossdressing, domination, dominatrices, ebony, electroplay (violet wand), encasement, erotic nudes, exhibitionism, glasses, face sitting, femdomme, femdom, fetish models, fire play, crush, food fetish, foot fetish, gags, gay, glove fetish, hairy, hirsute, hoods, humiliation, hat fetish, infantilism, infantillism (adult babies), kissing, knifeplay, latex, latina, leather, legs, lesbian, lollipop fetish, makeup, mannequins, mask fetish, medical, mouth fetish, mummification, neck fetish, outdoors, panties, piercing, pony play, pornstars, redheads, religious, rubber doll, shoe fetish, boot fetish, sissification, small tits, smoking, smothering, spanking, stockings, pantyhose and garters, strapon, strap on, strip tease, suspensions, sybian, tattoo, trample, tranny, uniforms, upskirt, and wet and messy.

Check out all of the new free fetish photo galleries here! You can let me know what you think of the new format, or if you have a suggestion for a fetish we may have missed, leave a comment on this blog post, or email me!

The German Fetish Ball 2008

Photos and review by Lady Venus (LV)


This year I was honored to photograph at the German Fetish Ball weekend in Berlin. I have visited Berlin before, but I never had the chance to see any of the fetish world. My visit was for the Venus.Berlin shows in October and they are more of a porn-themed event. I was excited to have the chance to get to know the Berlin fetish scene and take some time to be a tourist in the city.

Interestingly, my first night in Berlin was spent at a club called Insomnia, which, I have been told, is more of a sex club than anything. Since all I wanted to do was sleep (due to jet lag), but I couldn’t, being at a club named Insomnia seemed terribly appropriate. Several times I was told that photography was prohibited in some of the rooms, and that I should take care in photographing attendees. That said, I decided to plant myself on a comfortable couch and simply watch the festivities. There were several play rooms (the upstairs room limited only to couples) that would have been beautiful in photographs, but taking photos was verboten. I am sure that some would have permitted me to photograph them; however, since I know nearly no German, it was nearly impossible to communicate my desire to photograph discreetly.

Finally, however, Dominique, the hostess of the evening’s event, came out with two lovely ladies and they began a performance that was exciting and different than most anything that I have seen in the States. Performances in the U.S. are very different than those that I see in the EU. In the U.S. there can be no uncovered nipples or genitals, and certainly there can be no actual sexual activities. Well, if you have not yet been to a non-U.S. party, please be aware that those rules go right out the window! Most of the performance was so graphic that the photos I took will never see the light of day. You see, certain acts are not permitted on U.S. web sites, even if they occur ex-U.S.

Dominique, a statuesque blonde, was dressed as a perverted clown and her devious lady accomplice was similarly dressed, though she wore a checkerboard bodysuit that exposed her large breasts. The two clowns took turns molesting a pretty blonde who wore sexy rainbow over-the-knee socks and a lime green skirt. What exactly did they do to her? Well, you can see a little of the festivities in the photo gallery, but if you can’t wait, then let me enlighten you. There was kissing, sucking of a large strap on cock, strap on fucking, fucking the blonde girl with a giant cock on the end of a pole, double penetration, and, finally, both clowns fist fucked the blonde. This was not a gentle, loving scene, people. It was a dynamic and passionate dance that left this photographer wishing that the U.S. laws did not restrict photographs of fisting. Seriously, the show was incredible, even though I cannot use over half of the photos that were taken. After the show ended, I decided to pack up my gear and head back to the hotel to try to beat the looming jet lag.

My second day in Berlin sent me over to the German Fetish Fair. The venue showcased some of the most popular fetish vendors. There was a lot of latex, as one would expect. It seems that hats are the most sought-after accessory and there were many booths that showcased them. I saw several familiar faces and met lots of new friends. Luckily, it seemed that many folks spoke better English than I speak German, so I was able to communicate my desire to take photos to lots of folks. Of course, waving my camera in their general direction is another way to let them know I want to take a picture. Most were willing to allow me to photograph them, unlike the previous evening.

I ran into Rubberdoll, who was doing a little shopping. Also, I took a few photos of super sexy fetish model (and contortionist!) Zlata blowing up a balloon. I then snapped a few photos of Aurora on a lime green cherry picker. Because of the miserable exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Euro, I made only one small purchase: a black plastic mask. Knowing that I had to photograph the Revolution party later that night, I left around 5:00 to go back to my hotel and rest just a little before meeting up with Belgium Marc and two of his friends for dinner.

After a tasty Italian dinner, I headed back to the hotel to get dressed for the party. It was held at the Kit Kat Club. There was a pool and a deck outside, but very few people braved the chilly water. A few brave souls who did jump in, though! I was glad for the outdoor respite from the hot and smoke-filled indoor areas. This evening, more people were willing to let me photograph them, so I was happy and felt that I had a purpose in attending. The venue had several different rooms, so there was always something to see. There were several different performances, but I know that I missed at least some of them. There was a burlesque dancer doing a seductive striptease, a sexy gal putting a grinder to her crotch to give off a fountain of sparks, and a hot redhead smoking a cigarette and then spitting fire. In another room, Amrita did a suspension of a pretty brunette girl (I think her name is Eden) before briefly using her as a swing. I heard that this was Eden’s very first suspension, but it looked as if she was enjoying herself quite a lot! As usual, I saw some familiar faces, and I was glad to see them because they love having their photos taken! Additionally, I met some nice new folks who also allowed me to photograph them, the couple from Breathless (http://www.breathless.uk.com). I would also like to thank a very friendly group of latex-wearing Swedes who also humored me and allowed me to photograph them.

The Fetish Ball was on Sunday night at Matrix, a club with beautiful arched brick ceilings and no less than five different rooms, each featuring different music. I came to the German Fetish Ball to photograph the fashion shows, but part of the fun of photographing an event is to photograph the attendees. Sadly, however, I had little luck obtaining photos of most of the people there. Many people refused to let me take their photos, even some who were completely encased in latex! (Again, many thanks to the Swedes and the others in the crowd who permitted me to snap their photos!!)

The fashion show lineup was impressive and the festivities were kept moving along by Mistress of Ceremonies Rubberdoll. The shows were non-stop for what I believe to be a solid two hours! Featured designers included Bondinage, Libidex, Burlesque Couture, Provoqué, Tatjana Warnecke, Favor, and Torture Garden. The European Fetish Awards were hosted by Luci van Org, where designer Atsuko Kudo was honored. Also, rather unexpectedly, Beyoncé Knowles (yes, the one from Destiny’s Child!!) even received an award. Unfortunately, she was not in attendance; however, I assume that the award is now safely on its way to her. Rubberdoll did double-duty as both hostess of the evening’s events as well as a performer. FAQ vs. Rubberdoll ended the fashion show festivities with an exciting performance that had music, strap ons, latex, a wheelchair, confetti guns, and a giant whipped cream-spewing red cock. What else could you ask for, people?? The music in each room was different, so you could either chill out or get your groove on, depending on exactly what your mood was.

After a very long weekend with next to no sleep, I was both happy and sad that the German Fetish Ball weekend was over. I was happy because I finally got some sleep, but I was sad that the weekend had ended. An extra day’s stay in Berlin gave me some time to take a walking tour of the city to learn more about its fascinating history.

Finally, I would like to thank René for his hospitality and FetishMovies.com for sponsoring both the German Fetish Ball and my trip to photograph it. I hope to come back next year!
