It’s Alive! AlteredAperture.com

Ms. Nikki Nefarious is Altered Aperture.  Not only is she an award winning rigger, but she is an award winning photographer!  Often her rope bondage is as beautiful as the model she ties up.  On top of all that, she is my photographer.  One of my favorite things about Nikki’s art is her hands-off editing approach.  Aside from balancing color, Nikki does not photoshop her images, leaving the inherent natural beauty of the model intact.

All of the images you see with the little A in the lower right hand corner are Altered Aperture’s.   I did an interview with Ms. Nikki Nefarious recently on Catalina Loves, but I thought you’d also be interested in this little blurb from her about page:

Nikki Nefarious is an internationally published photographer, Shibari artist, performer, and fetishist for all seasons. Her photography brand, Altered Aperture, has become a hallmark for her original styling and has gained momentum throughout the fetish community. Hailing from the Southeast, but with a uniquely global outlook, Nikki prides herself on her ability to find the art and beauty in kink and vice versa. Her photography celebrates not only moments in time, but a distinctive set of individual ideas, ideals, and attitudes that are often overlooked or, perhaps worse, marginalized. Through her work she seeks to express her own innate creativity, sexuality, complexity, and, yes, nerdiness without regard to its relative shock value or banality. While some live to create and others create to live, Nikki simply prefers to see the one as an integral part of the other, wholly interconnected and utterly inseparable. You may have seen her work in Skin Two Magazine, Charlotte Observer, Creative Loafing, V2 Magazine, BME, and various books and publications. Nikki has traveled extensively as an event photographer for various fetish and adult industry events, including Purgatory, Adult Entertainment Expo, Exotic Erotic Ball, and much more.

So clickity click your way over to the new Altered Aperture website and take a look at Nikki’s portfolio.  There’s so much more to her than meets the eye.
