Searching for rope model in Barcelona for collab

Starting thread: Searching for rope model in Barcelona for collab

I'm a rope artist based in Barcelona looking to connect with experienced models for collaborative shibari photography projects. My work focuses on traditional Japanese rope techniques with an emphasis on aesthetics and creating a safe, respectful environment. I'm hoping to find someone who already has rope experience and is familiar with basic safety practices. Looking for a model who's comfortable with floor work and potentially some partial suspension, depending on experience level. Every session would involve detailed discussion beforehand about boundaries, and ongoing communication throughout. I can provide references and show my previous work.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in exploring, feel free to reach out!

Great to see someone focused on proper shibari technique and safety. What style do you usually work in? More Yukimura or Naka influenced? I've modeled for a few rope artists in the past and always like to know their approach before committing.

Have you checked out the local BDSM community meetups in Barcelona? There's a pretty active rope bondage scene there and you might find experienced models who already know the ropes, so to speak. Word of mouth tends to work better than online posts for this kind of collab.

Marina - My style leans more toward Naka with some contemporary influences. I focus a lot on body dialogue and the emotional connection during the tie. Happy to share my portfolio if you want to see examples of my work. DM me if interested.

How long have you been practicing rope? Safety is obviously crucial when doing suspension work, even partial. Do you have liability insurance and proper suspension points?

Sophie - I've been studying shibari for about 6 years, took workshops in Japan and trained under a few experienced riggers in Europe. Yes, I have proper insurance and access to a studio with certified hard points for suspension. Safety protocols are non-negotiable for me. Everything gets checked and double-checked.

I'm relatively new to rope bondage but have some experience as a bottom in BDSM scenes. Would you consider someone who's still learning or are you strictly looking for experienced rope models? I'm based in Barcelona and very interested in developing my skills.

Nina - I'm primarily looking for experienced models for these particular projects, but I do occasional practice sessions where I work with newer folks. The key is being comfortable with the intensity of rope and knowing your body's limits. If you're interested in starting there, message me privately and we can discuss.

Good luck with the search. Barcelona has some talented rope people. Just make sure you're vetting properly on both sides. References are important in bondage work, especially with suspension involved.
