Sub Rosa Through a Professional Lens

by

We take a lot of pride in our beautiful fetish space, so it’s always exciting to see the dungeon through the eyes (and lens) of a creative professional in a boudoir photoshoot.

Sub Rosa provides a dreamy, sexy atmosphere for private boudoir portraits, erotic art, kinky fashion photography, and more. Many photos have been taken in Sub Rosa, but here we’d like to profile three of our favorite professional photographers to work with: The Nightshade Noir, Amber Red, and Mason Rose.

Working under the direction of one of these incredible photographers, with Sub Rosa providing the sexy setting, is a boudoir dream come true. Whether you’re an experienced model or new to working the camera, these artists will draw out your best and immortalize the moment. Treat yourself to the experience of a professional photoshoot at a private rental in Sub Rosa, and leave feeling empowered, with an incredible keepsake!

The Nightshade Noir

The Nightshade Noir has directed many photoshoots at Sub Rosa, including sessions with Mistress Viola and Princessa Natasha. His work features dramatic lighting, bold lines, and rich textures. He specializes in fierce, sexy portraits but also knows how to show softness and vulnerability. You can follow his Instagram here.

Amber Red

Amber Red has captured many beautiful portraits of Viola and Natasha, and knows well how to work with what Sub Rosa has to offer. You can see Amber’s gallery of her work at Sub Rosa here. A session with her is more than a photoshoot, it is an experience that provides space for embracing yourself, your vision, and your emotions – catching it all in richly saturated colors. Follow Amber’s Instagram here, and book through her website here.

Mason Rose

Mason Rose is a trans photographer whose stunning portraits possess an ethereal sensuality. His work uplifts queers, trans people, sex workers, and the kink community, subverting systemic shame into beauty and celebration. You can follow Mason’s Instagram here, and book a session with him on his website here.

New Year, New Playspace

by

Lot’s of new energy moving into 2024. Both of us are pretty excited about what’s to come, from new spaces to new events to weekend retreats. Stay tuned because we have lots of tricks up our leather sleeves! But one thing we’re tickled to announce is the addition of a new playspace. For most of 2023, whilst doing ALL the other things, we were carefully building out a new space near Sub Rosa which we have affectionately dubbed “Mother’s Den”.

Unlike our main dungeon space this one is just for Mistress Viola and Natasha Strange to schedule private sessions and/or coaching. It is available to some key members as well. But this space will not be rented out like Sub Rosa. It allows us to stretch out a bit and have more options for session scheduling and session types. We also open it up for our monthly Bootcamps for extra space to practice and play. If you’re interested in visiting Mother’s Den, you’ll have to book with one of the Proprietrixes to do so — or attend one of our Bootcamps.

Mother’s Den was truly a collaboration with some of the trusted members of our growing community of gracious volunteers. What’s evolved out of this collaboration is a lush, feminine, more domestic leaning space. We scored an amazing white lacquered bedroom set — that is straight 80s Miami Art Nouveau revival. Of course we’ve added restraints to our Barbie bed and filled the vanity with crossdressing items of all kinds — shoes, wigs, makeup, lingerie, panties, corsets, chastity, bondage…you get the picture.

The crew also built a platform for our Throne, for proper worship. A generous submissive crafted a classic disciplinary spanking bench as well. We’ve moved the standing cage from Sub Rosa to the Den and lit it neon pink — it’s become “The Doll Box” — a place to stash our naughty dolled up (or stripped down) submissives and sluts on display, captured and helpless…

Both Natasha and Viola have done a few photoshoots in there, and Natasha has filmed some content (check out her LoyalFans for a peak inside). And of course, we’ve got a spiffy new 3D tour courtesy of Portland Creative Photography. We are so excited for this new space and the new energy it brings. We hope to see some of you there very soon.
