Few years ago my friend said that art could be a good way to handle the insecurity connected to my fetishes. I could have never guessed what an amazing community I found when I started to do my fetish photos in social media.
This spring I took part to the Tom of Finland Emerging Artist Competition. The competition was arranged by the Tom of Finland Foundation :
”The purpose of this contest is twofold: to encourage artists to share their erotic work and to elevate the field of erotic art by rewarding some of the best current examples.”
The competition had multiple categories for erotic art and in each category the jury selected three winning works. The Grand Price winner was MR GRUTS (New Zealand), with his work Country Club, 2020.
I was honored to receive the third award in the photography category with my photo: Enlightenment, 2020 with my trusted model, ropebunny and great friend The Fallen Cupid.
The success in this competition means a lot to me! It’s an amazing honor as a Finnish fetish guy to get awarded in Tom of Finland 100th Anniversary!
Superlatively huge thanks to the Fallen Cupid for being such a great model, inspiration and friend!
