Syd's Rope Goods

first of all, forgive me for the vertical video. second of all, forgive me for the absolutely horrendous sound of the space heater.

here's a video that kitten and i filmed to submit to a week...

preview

an itty bitty little preview of a shoot kitten and i did recently to promo a very exciting soon-to-be-announced thing i can't talk about yet 🤫 which i think pretty perfectly captures how i love ...

new fixation

if you've been following along for a while now you know that i have a bit of a pattern: i find a thing (a harness, a shape, a sequence, etc) and i FIXATE. the current fixation is the hip harness yo...

syd x mrghy

i walked into this sesh with about a half of a brain. january was a roller coaster of a month for me in many aspects, and this day was a toughy. margherita asked what my wants were for the day, b...

a treat for syd

i know, i know, instagram already saw the first photo. but honestly, its one of my favorite rope photos i've taken in a good while. this tie was a TREAT.

what was not a treat: me having to we...

patience

on complexity, patience, stillness, and how they fit into each other....

i had a silly realization a few days ago: i am quite impatient when i'm tying. i find that sort of funny, because i c...

on vulnerability

i saw “the last showgirl” (staring a very beautiful and very sparkly pamela anderson) last night. i won’t spoil it, but i’ll tell you that i cried through most of the movie. i’ve been thi...

debut

will's flippy dippy debut to this page * insert sparkle emoji *

aguras in suspension are rare-ish for me these days. they require a model with shins of steel (or a particular d...

on unexpected exits

you know, i’ve been typing and untyping a paragraph for about twenty minutes. instead i’ve decided to keep it short and sweet-ish. here’s a lil reminder that it’s ok to un-tk mid tie. here...

happy new year!

happy new year, rope folks! i'm back and i am absolutely kickin'.

i am absolutely a resolutions girly. i love the new year. i'm only mildly joking when i say it may be my favorite holiday. i ...

happy holidays ♥️

just dropping in to offer some sweet holiday cheer and a big and resounding thank you to each and every one of you. as the year comes to a close, i reflect on what a wonderful, challenging, inspiri...

an [advanced] task

i know, i know, this is already on instagram. don't you worry, more ~exclusive~ content is on it's way. but for now: this sequence had me thinking about an exercise/task/game/challenge that i want ...

a particularly special handshake

a theme of the year: befriend your greatest inspirations

ya'll, i try hard not to pedestal people. especially in the ~age of social media~ it's pretty easy to see some one with a bazillion fo...

object

this may still be one of my favorite ever sets of rope-for-photo. i love that anonymization of teo, i love the rawness of being able to see the “behind the scenes” of the backdrop. perhaps iron...

archives

my love of futomomo-knee-balance is no secret. if you look closely, you’ll see a tiny spikey addition to this particular one

many moons ago, with @simply.specimen , on 35mm 💝

on display

i tie hashiras so infrequently. i love the stillness, the complexity, the rigidity. they are quite challenging, both for myself and the model, for many reasons. that rigidity can be infuriating to ...

delicious

myself and my favorite chew toy tyin and shootin for Hot Stuff, something like a year ago. i so rarely get photos taken of me tying, and this was quite the treat (pun intended). i even broke out th...

belated halloween?

tell me the hair to backdrop coordination here isn’t ~perfect~

from a conceptual shoot dreamed up by @aerielmoonpie earlier this year, definitely not at all related to halloween

handshake

caption coming soon 😉 for now, enjoy stevie in my ropes for a sweet handshake tie

"a fuzzy hat makes the suffering easier"

the title says it all ;)

some casual playtime with my favorite @bbropebttm, who's wearing some ~accessories~ i got her for her birthday.

i'm gearing up to teach my first full day worksh...

squish

from the archives of accidentally forgotten rolls of film... a quick trip to the bay for an escape from the city and some rope nerdery with a few of my favorite humans.

pictured here: @noty...

syd and anna x wisebodies

this was previously posted as a treat for my high tier folks, but i love this sequence and this human too much not to post for all of ya'll.

some of you may know already that anna is leaving ...

suggestions?

hey rope folks. i'm curious, what type of content are you most excited to see on this page? what are you here for? what do you want more of?

(feel free to comment too!)

broken barbie

you'll have to forgive me for one of those photos being a cellphone grab, but i was so enthralled with this tie (also kitten's lingerie) i nearly forgot i had my camera setup.

i've been v...
