The Sao Paulo based Brazilian photographer Fabio da Motta has developed quite an affinity with ‘shibari’ which is an ancient Japanese artistic form of rope bondage.  He has taken a series of very powerful images that explore bondage as an integral part of his compositions.

His stunning body of work is very inspired by Shibari, especially because it is a bondage that mostly focuses on the aesthetic aspects of the art or the beauty of tying.  It is actually a mix of Shibari and other types of bondage, as he always tries to focus on the act of immobilization, emphasizing its beauty.
