YNOT – Life in the Kink.com Armory can be a bubble, so when director Claire Adams was handed the reins for her first Hogtied feature, she headed out — far out.
“Wet Rock Canyon,” an epic production staged near the northern rim of the Grand Canyon, debuted Monday on Kink’s Hogtied.com. If the wide skies, harsh sun and spectacular terrain are new for Kink fans, the intricate rope work and unrelenting BDSM are not: Adams has worked with Kink since 2002 and currently directs both Hogtied and DeviceBondage.com.
For the Grand Canyon shoot, Adams filmed Penny Pax, Danny Wylde and Cherry Torn in a fantasy scenario incorporating public sex, forced labor and a bondage suspension mounted on rock pillars. It was not easy an easy shoot for the performers or the crew.
“It’s dry, we’re at high-altitude and there’s a real danger from sunburn,” said Adams. “But I love the outdoors. This was my fantasy, and it’s an incredible scene.”
In addition to the elements, Adams had to contend with a pair of onlookers who stumbled upon the shoot while hiking.
“The Utah border is not San Francisco, or even Los Angeles,” Adams said. “But that’s part of the excitement.”
“Wet Rock Canyon” is the first of two desert shoots for Hogtied. The second scene, featuring Amber Rayne and Maestro, is slated for December release.
John Sander, vice president of marketing for Kink.com, said shoots like Adams’ Grand Canyon scenes are important to the future growth of Kink, which operates more than two dozen BDSM and fetish sites.
“The creativity and passion of directors like Claire are crucial to our success,” Sander said. “Kink has always pushed the boundaries of bondage and fetish, and it’s shoots like these that have kept us at the top of the market for over a decade.”
Most of Kink’s websites are part of the Kinky Dollars affiliate program, which pays 20-60 percent recurring revenue share or $30 to $55 per sign-up.
