Marla Rutherford

Marla Rutherford hails from Los Angeles California and also works heavily from Boulder Colorado.  Both locations are excellent backdrops for photography that truly is artwork.

Her work runs the gambit from celebrities, fetish latex covered models, children, and tattoo'd convicts.  Regardless of the subject, one thing is certain - the image will be one that captivates the viewer. 

Taken from an interview at CoolHunting.com:

When did you start taking photos and why do you think it is the best medium to express your ideas?

I sat on Santa's lap and asked for a camera when I was six... Photography is the best medium for me because I am a people person and at the same time I am very introverted. Photography give me an excuse to really get to know people that otherwise I would be very shy to approach. I am always curious about people's quirks and about underground subcultures. Photography is the perfect medium for me to approach them and say, "I think you are really cool can I take your picture?

rushnp774

Kyle Carlson from Lee's Summit, Missouri goes by the monicker, Rushn774 - we don't quite get the name but we do get the photography.  Vivid colors and high glossy shine, images that make you want to look once, and then a second and third time.

From the beautiful to the bizarre, and everything in between, I enjoy creating stunning shots that people want to look at again and again.

Kye's favorite movies are Office Space, Waking Life, Garden State, Last Samurai, and his musical interests are Metal and Trance.  His equipment includes a Nikon D90 and photoshop CS4.  You can check out more of his work here:

Ozpunk

Ozpunk works closely with select models, which he refers to as his muses, to grow his art.  He learns and creates with those who work well with him to create beautiful images.  Scotland is his home, his tool of choice is a Nikon D80, and Ozpunks favorite movie is Leon.

The focus of his work ranges from the portraiture to fetish fashions and he even has photos with elements of landscape.  Our personal favorites here at the Buzz were his work with Ulorin Vex - a very popular model who we reviewed a few months ago.

Keep up the great work - we're looking forward to latest muse and creativity!

Dolguldor

Dolguldor, aka Marc Marselje, is an art student from Rotterdam Netherlands studying to be a filmmaker and photographer.  His favorite music is metal and cyber gothic.  Marc shoots with a Canon Eos 350d, SIgma 24-70mm f2.8 dg, and manfrotto tripod.

His skin of choice is latex, and his photography reflects this preference.  Marc's photography ranges from clean and poised to natural to slightly deviant (our favorite).  We would love to see him produce a film incorporating fetish fashions, as the works he has made are edgy and interesting.  You can checkout more of his work by visiting the links below:

Suiluj

Fetish may have been born in Germany - for a country of it's size, there is a ton of fetish activity that goes on there.  Suiluj is one of Germany's many great talents.  Also known as Julius Kramer, Suiluj is a 21 year old handsome (there is a self-portrait on our list of photos) fetish photographer who takes splendid photos of alternative and fetish models in a wide variety of poses and formats.

His two passions are nature photography and fetish - and Julius does a great job of both.  You can checkout his fetish photography at his website: http://www.fetish-fotos.de/, and if you are interested in his nature photography (not nearly as shiny but fun to look at) you can check it out here: http://www.fokusnatur.de

 

Sublime

What does music and art have in common?  Sublime is not only one of our favorite music artists but also an amazing fetish photographer from Canada.  Sublime has been on our short list to review, as we've been following his work for the last several months and noted him as one of the top fetish photographers out there in terms of quality of work.

Where he gets his models we have no idea - but we can tell they are carefully chosen.  Each is superbly suited for the image taken - beautiful, edgey, and styled in a way unique to Sublime.  Our favorite series is the blonde with transparent stockings and black zip up latex body.  Carefully lighted and adjusted in photoshop to show certain elements in color and others in black and white - it is expertly done and a delight to view.

Recall997

Recall997, or Robbie, hails from Sweden and often shoots his beautiful girlfriend who we reviewed a bit back - Fuschia.  He does have shots of other models in his portfolio, including a bound shot of himself (wonder if that was Fuschia behind the camera), but his best work is of Fuschia.

He is able to capture her elegantly and crafts beautiful images, of what must be his most inspiring work.  Although Robbie doesn't seem to update his portfolio nearly as often as Fushcia, you can check out his work here.  We are happy that this couple has found each other and that they share their joy and passions of photography with the rest of us!

Mr Boing 66

Mr Boing 66, aka Marcus of Uppsala Sweden, loves to create.  Whether it's photographs or inventions, Marcus makes beautiful work.  His portfolio has beautiful models in home created sets that tend to contain bright splashes of color here or there.

Marcus's current work comprises about 30% fetish, 30% bondage, and 30% fashion / creative.  We found his work in bondage to be the most interesting as he juxtaposed arm binders, ball gags, and such in a studio setting with velvet backdrops.  The setting seemd to be more akin to a family or highschool photoshoot, while the content was anything but. 

You can checkout more of his work by visiting his website: http://www.marcusgun.com. 

Infox

Infox photography, aka Oliver Skala of Germany, takes images that would otherwise be mainstream except for the inclusion of a subversive element or two.  The picture of the girl outdoors, almost painted in a soft light, sepia toned with lush green trees in the background, compassionate eyes, and a latex shirt.

Another of his images is a girl standing in an otherwise nondescript bar, wearing a typical black skirt and smiling playfully, shot from low to high - to bring focus to a pair of 5 inch high patent leather platform boots.  Lastly he has several images of women in corsets, much of the image black and white, except for the vibrant hues of the corset.
