Bound N Determined claims to be dedicated to the art of bondage and suspension techniques through the eyes of Lew Rubens, who is one of the more famous bondage riggers. It certainly delivers.
The site design could have been more aesthetically balanced and appealing since balance and artistic appeal are things I expect from a rope Master, but I didn't come to Bound N Determined to review the design.
There are a number of ways that you can find content. Either scroll the page for recent updates, search galleries by type including mummification, multiple babes or role playing, or through the archive of galleries listed by year. You can also skip right to the video clips.
In the gallery archives, you can explore 163 photosets. Some pictures are in a protected directory, so while you may be able to download these, I'm not so sure you can keep them once your membership expires since the copyright may reside with the photographer and not the site. The more artistic images are crystal clear shots that are spectacularly creative. The camerawork in a K5 Gary Koehlers Photos, which contains 63 images, completely sets off the theme of the bondage. I particularly loved this outdoor beach set. The model seems suspended as if she were a sail on a tall ship and the bondage work made her seem both fluid and rigged as a sail would be. It was near perfect to me. Other sets offer different themes and just as much beauty. There are also more candid photos depicting the artist, Lew, at work on his canvass.
The videos are offered in Windows Media or RealPlayer formats and while the bondage is exclusively Lew's, some of the movies come from sites like HogTied, where his artistry appears. There's a total of 96 clips, but only about 10 to 15 full-length movies since all are divided into various parts. Each clip is approximately three to five-minutes. The action and precision in the films is an exciting experience, but I was highly disappointed by the poor quality.
You won't be coming to this site for the videos, which is unfortunate, but bondage and suspension enthusiasts will absolutely love the theme-based photos of rope artistry. The site could use an overall injection of image quality, but when it comes to creativity and symmetry, Bound N Determined is an awesome photo site.
