Review of - Shadowplay Imaging
| Prior to my
comments about the Shadowplay Imaging web-site and it's offerings (www.shadowplayimaging.com), I feel it's necessary to tell you something about the Man behind the pictures - known to us all as "THE SEETHER". FULL SIZE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF TALON'S EYRIE Much of what is seen in the bondage community at large today was influenced by the creative imagination and keen photographic eye of Bill Richards, AKA "SEETHER". Bill's presence as a producer, photographer, and creative consultant to other producers is wide spread and well known within the bondage community. His images are legally featured on over 40 sites world-wide. Bill began his career as a shooter on the east coast of the US in 1997, and moved his business to the American Northwest in 1999. Bill is best known for his ability to seek out, recruit, and photograph beautiful young unknown women in tight "fantasy oriented" bondage situations. Bill takes great pride in being the first to shoot Tobi and Rhiannon in bondage, along with a long line of others known as "Seether Originals". Bill was also among the first to shoot Liz Tyler and Julie Simone before their respective rise to bondage fame. |

| Bill Richards is the Producer and Chief Operating Officer for Shadowplay
Imaging, which provides digital imaging, video production, and web consulting services to
fetish erotica web sites world wide. Bill's work is in demand, and is featured on numerous
websites. His impact on the internet has also influenced the creative styles of
others who emulate his camera or rope work. Bill was ranked 16th in the top 20
bondage producers in the world in 2001, and he is considered to be a rising star in a
seemingly endless line of independent fetish producers. |

|
| Bill does not consider the work he creates to be pornography, but
a form of erotic art. Comparably, within the fetish industry, Bill's work is
considered by most to be an artistic portrayal of the "Damsel in Distress." Bill
is a former military officer with a formal background in foreign cultures and business
management consulting. Bill is a self taught photographer, ropemaster, and webmaster
who has been involved in the business of fetish erotica since 1997. Bill has had a
strong on-linepresence since 1998, when he created "Seether's Lair" known now as
Shadowplay Imaging. Bill is a full time producer, and he is a single father with
teenaged sons - to whom he dedicates every free moment of his time. When he is not shooting or being a Dad, Bill likes to cook, watch football, and spend time in his rose garden. |

| That's just the official line from the good folks at Shadowplay
Imaging, but since 1997, SPI has provided personalized bondage and fetish experiences for
viewers by bringing them "into" their photos and video productions.
SPI features ALL original photo and video content in huge volumes of weekly
and monthly updates, plus a large archive of past works. SPI is run by a male-female
production team - each equally skilled with restraints, gags, and camera equipment.
Seether and Tobi form a unique team and create some of the most intensely erotic
fetish photos and videos available today - edged for the male consumer,but with a uniquely
female perspective. Bill, Tobi, and the models and staff at SPI are celebrating
their fifth year on-line in 2003, with many more years of production to go before they are
finished. |

| Originally it was my intention to name a few models that can
currently be found on Shadowplay Imaging, but it keeps growing to fast to keep up.
I'm serious, everytime I look, there is another one, and they are all gorgeous, and all
helpless, just as we love them. At this writing there are nearly 100 Models, and yes
I do have my favorite ... well favorites, and Tobi and Rhiannon are (above and below)
leading the list. To make it easy, just click on the link below and you'll see what I
mean. "Real Girls, Real Gags, Real Bondage" is the theme at SPI. I
think it is safe to say that theyare on track. |

| For those who do not care for Memberships, OR have yet to still
make up their mind, SEETHER gives you all kinds of options . They offer small (40-60) image sets and video clips for purchase
and download for as little as $2.80 to $3.95 per set. These themed sets and short
videos are ideal for folks who are uncertain about joining the site, and serve as a modest
sample set to anyone considering a membership or a video or DVD purchase. |

| You ARE reading this aren't you? Take a break and a breath
from the pictures for a moment. SEETHER has even more to offer. From a Token Area,
Yahoo Club, Streaming Video, CD's, Photo Sets, Chatroom and shopping area to name but a
few, this man has created a site that really DOES have something for everyone. |

 |
 |
| For the last fortnight, I have been trying to compile a brief
synopsis of Shadowplay Imaging, and for once I've been stumped. There is just no way
that I can convey what can be found there. It is just too damn good to even attempt
it. I'll leave it at this for now. If you don't visit Shadowplay Imaging, then
you're a damn fool. And if you say there is nothing there to pique' your interest,
you're either lying or you are dead, and you aren't dead. |

 |
| If I was inclined to use
"*"
Ratings as they do with restaurants, then SEETHER will be the first to rate six of them. ****** Yea, it's THAT GOOD Talon |
