Playing With Rope

Not a performance. Not a ritual. Not what you think.
Come closer. Bring your curiosity. Leave your expectations at the door.

You might call it Shibari. I call it playing with rope.
Seriously playful rope art - for the curious, the open, and the willing to be surprised.

The Work

Every shoot has a theme, a story,

and a woman who said yes to something she'd never tried before.

About Jonathan

Shibari-Oks-05-2026-017_edited.jpg
My name is Jonathan.

I tie people up - and I mean that in the best possible way.

 

​I studied Shibari, practiced it, and then chose a different path. Not out of disrespect - out of curiosity about what rope could become when you let go of the rulebook.​

 

My work is chaotic in the best sense. Imperfect on purpose. Joyful, surprising - and yes, frequently funny.

Where do you want to start?

1

Curious about being in rope?

You don't need experience.

You don't need a particular body.

You just need to be genuinely curious.

2

Want to create something together?

I work with photographers, videographers, performers and event organizers.

If you see a possibility, I want to hear about it.

3

Want to try rope in a group?

My introduction workshops are two hours, women-only, small groups, and considerably more fun than you'd expect.

What women say

"I'm a single mom of two, and a lifelong control freak who learned to surrender - not easily, but genuinely.

When perimenopause hit, I found myself looking for new experiences in surrendering. Rope felt like one worth exploring.

I trusted Jonathan completely from the start. I wasn't nervous - mainly just curious.

 

When the rope went on for the first time, my reaction was simple: curiosity, excitement. Yay, a new thing!

I was surprised how connected I felt. It was very safe and very intimate. It was as if the rope was following me - my movements, my body. Very playful. Like someone holding you very close.

I ended up feeling wonderful. And very tired.

 

To any woman thinking about it: just try it. It feels so safe and comforting.

I've heard people talk about rope as healing - and I completely get that."

Still thinking about it?
Good. That's exactly the right place to start.
A half-formed curiosity is a perfectly good reason to reach out.
