Working with DonP was an incredible experience. This was one of my first photoshoots, and I came in a little nervous, but that faded quickly. We started by talking, and when he asked what helps me relax, I said yoga—so that’s exactly how we began. As I started stretching, the camera disappeared and the moments just unfolded naturally.


Shooting in my own home made everything feel relaxed and personal. It felt less like performing and more like simply existing and expressing myself, which boosted my confidence in a way I didn’t expect. Nothing felt staged or forced—we were capturing real moments. I was surprised by how strong and confident I felt in the simplest poses, the ones where I wasn’t trying too hard.


Looking back at the images, I see someone growing more confident, self-aware, and comfortable in their own skin. The way my natural expressions and subtle details were captured made me feel truly seen and understood.

Working with DonP was an amazing experience. He’s professional, respectful, and brings a deep sense of artistry and care to his rope work and photography . I felt completely comfortable and safe throughout the session. The photography was stunning — creative, detailed, and beautifully captured the energy of the experience. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for an artistic and mindful rope artist and photographer.

I went into the session nervous but really curious, not knowing what to expect at all. Don explained everything clearly beforehand, and I felt surprisingly comfortable and empowered—even while tied up. What surprised me most was how much I loved it; the feeling of helplessness was incredibly erotic in its own way. Seeing the final images blew me away—I couldn’t believe that was actually me, and the artistry of the rope made it even more powerful. If you’re even remotely curious, DO IT! — you’ll feel sexy and amazing, and once you do it, you’ll want to do it again.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Don and his lovely wife, Maria. My vision was a dark, moody boudoir, but it was even better than I expected - raw & primal, featuring rope and chains. I felt comfortable enough to be myself... completely vulnerable yet powerful... so, many images were captured... I had to indulge in more... I cannot wait to create again with this dynamic, magical duo. Highly recommend!

My experience in working with Don has been an exploration of a side of me I did not know was there.  He captures not only your inidivual strengths and styles, he marries and translate your energy into art.


You can feel the love he pours into his craft. He makes you feel secure and provides a trusting and comfortable environment to be who you truly are. I have had the pleasure of working with him not only with his rigging skills but with his photography. I feel like he really sees me and i can't wait to work with him more with my crazy ideas.
