Philip Richards was born in Texas to a hippy mother, which may explain his free spirit and desire for nonconformity.

Moving to San Francisco, he began his study of Shibari as an art form. With a particular desire to hone his skills with complicated and visually appealing ropework.

He is a photographer who is able to capture the beauty of the female form and expression. Using rope to accentuate the curve and shape.

His dark, sensual, and sometimes kinky photography can elicit thoughts of desire and awe at the details of a womans body, motion, and expression.

Philip is active in Singapore teaching shibari and photographing.
