| Overview: | Behind the eyes of a fetish photographer.
As an aspiring photographer the clandestine world of bondage and discipline, dominance-submission, sado-masochism, fetish fashion and alternative sex held a powerful attraction for Noel Graydon. For five years he trained and worked as a BDSM 'Master' in the sex-trade and established the friendships which enabled him to genuinely document this world as an "insider looking out".
Peeking behind the scenes on many of Noel's fetish portraits, we enter a curious world of rope artists, lapsed Catholics, pain sluts, adult babies, electro-torture and blood play enthusiasts who approach absolution and sexuality like "an advanced driving course in sex", and where the initiated take carnal license to the extreme.
LIBERTY IN RESTRAINT delves deeply into Noel's life and portfolio to reveal his work in progress, the passion for his art and its themes, as well as the community he loved to photograph before his tragic death in July 2007.
