About the author

Ronan Spelman, born in Dublin Ireland, many many years ago. Now living in LA

I got my first look at photography, while in art college, but it was only for a brief period. At that time it was expensive and places in the classes were scarce, so it was off to fine art training for me instead, Cheaper and full of nut cases, which was right down my alley. I tried to become an Artist, and failed, I did not fit into the art world and it's critics. So I stopped painting all together.

I did not even touch a camera until a few years ago. I bought a cheap digital camera to take pictures of my Son Kyle. Suddenly found myself getting more interested in taking pictures, so I decided I wanted to get back into photography.

I didn't want to just take pictures though, I wanted to bring in an element of my art background, so I thought that Digital would be the way to go. So with photoshop and painter in hand I set about putting on my first exhibition "Unbound" , a show which I dedicated to my late mother, who encouraged me to start being creative again after a long absence.

So why choose the subject matter?.

Well, we all know that Sex sells.

Often times, I have felt bound and not free to express myself. So I decided to create erotic art using bondage as a subject matter as a reflection of the chains society puts upon us. Or maybe just a remnant from my old Art school Punk days...
