The Photographer Gets Tied up: Kendra James

Kendra James is always the one holding the camera at Hogtied. She lines up shots, calls the angles, keeps everyone at a safe distance. This time the tables flip. Rope bites into her wrists and pulls her shoulders back, elbows pinned tight behind her. Her own gag fills her mouth, thick and unyielding. The blindfold cuts out the room. A single lamp throws hard light across her breasts and the cane in the corner, waiting. The first strike lands across her ass and the heat blooms fast. She jerks, but the ropes hold her down. Another stripe follows, then another. Her nipples stiffen. Sweat runs between her shoulder blades. She used to count frames and check exposure. Now she counts strokes and listens to the cane whistle. No safeword she can reach, no lens to hide behind. Every mark she framed on someone else lands on her skin. The camera sits untouched on the table. For once, she’s the subject.
