As an aspiring photographer, the clandestine world of bondage and discipline, dominance-submission, sadoasochism, fetish fashion and alternative sex was a powerful attraction for Noel Graydon.
LIBERTY IN RESTRAINT follows Noel in his quest for authenticity. In this riveting series of testimonials we meet the mentors, muses and masochists who have inspired artistic endeavours. Noel's journey also embraced years of drug addiction then total recovery, fatherhood and an ongoing struggle to reconcile fetish life with family life.
Peeking behind the scenes on numerous 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 extreme limits.
"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, the community he loves to photograph and their controversial transgressive activities.
