    Beauty in Kinbaku vol. 1

    This podcast is our first attempt at discussing different aspects of beauty in kinbaku. We talk about whether beauty is important to us and if yes, why; how differently the rigger and the model perceive beauty during the scene; how it is not only visual that we appreciate; the influence of clothing and hairstyle on the creative process; what we find beautiful in private tying and what we are looking for when watching others; and finally the importance of model’s expression and rigger’s intention in creating beauty.
