What
the critics say about Girls,
Guns and Ropes...
“Girls
in bondage, often bound until they can no longer move,
appear to most superficial viewers as weak victims. Insiders, however,
know how strong you have to be to give yourself over completely into
the hands of another person--it is especially the mind that has to be
strong. Josef Botello makes these bound women into extremely strong
women: his “victims” bound with ropes have knives
or firearms in their hands and as a result look almost superior. The
photographer skillfully combines the weapon fetish (which, however,
does not come across as martial here!) with the beloved bondage." Marquis
Magazine No. 38
“Mixing
his own cocktail of dominant girls in submissive ropework wielding big
revolvers is, to say the least, different. Content is
important and he got the message… Good
book.” Secret
Magazine No. 30
“From
the moment I saw the cover of Josef Botello's Girls, Guns &
Ropes, I knew I was in for something different. In a world
where fetish
images can tweak, tug and gently nudge existing ideas about human
sexuality, Botello instead opts to blow a 44-caliber hole in those
notions with his provocative black and white shots of rope-clad women
outfitted with heavy artillery and bedroom eyes.
It's
a classic formula: beauty and the beast, enticement and peril, bondage
and bad-asses. It's like a 1950s men's magazine updated for the digital
era and gone lust-mad with artsy abandon. Josef Botello goes at this
subject with fresh gusto, with zest and originality -- and from the
first page, I ate it up with a spoon. These gorgeous dames are agents
provocateur like you wouldn't believe, and I challenge you
to thumb
through this book without drooling.” Thomas Roche, Eros Zine
“Three
extremely naughty tastes go great together in this
wickedly hot book of erotic photography by Josef Botello. A parade of
sizzling dark-haired beauties get their kicks by disrobing, getting all
sweaty, tangling themselves up in all manner of knotted leather and
rope, and fondling, licking and caressing firearms.” Femme
Fatales Vol. 15 No. 3
“This
one seems pretty straightforward: if you think nekkid girls with guns
are hot, you're probably gonna like this book. However, there's a bit
more to this collection of photographs than just that. As suggested by
the title, many of these girls are bound with ropes, sometimes
suspended from the ceiling, sometimes simply bound and gagged, many
times simply wearing the gorgeous Japanese bondage as if it were a
high-end piece of fetish wear. The black-and-white photography is
well-done, the expressions on the women's faces evoking something
beyond the moment in time the camera has captured. This reviewer
personally finds guns distasteful, and yet found this book one of the
more erotic, tantalizing photo books she's seen in a long
time.” Blowfish
"Josef
Botello’s world is less pornographic and more fun than the
title
might suggest to some. The women are incredibly beautiful and the
environments highly charged. There is a feeling of hyper-realism that
radiates sensuality and pulses from the page. (One might imagine Josef
Botello’s photo shoots to be more like a hunt, where he
stalks
and searches for the perfect moment to capture his wild prey for
eternity.) Anyone who knows photography knows that it is
impossible for a photographer to stay detached from his subjects. Josef
Botello clearly creates a comfortable shooting environment and shares a
connection with his models that brings the subjects to life.
This
is a wonderful book and should be given a careful look by fans of the
female form and photography that refuses to play it safe.” Mondopopsickle

What
started as a few snapshots of girlfriends posing  with
weapons turned into a
full-fledged fetish vixen diorama... This is the
world of Josef Botello, where curvaceous
raven-haired beauties adorned in lace-top stockings and crisscrossed
with loops of bondage rope wield 9mm automatics and wicked-looking
hunting knives... Tied and blindfolded, helpless and yet strangely
powerful, or in full sex-crazed goddess mode and packing half
of the National Armory,
 these girls
have one thing
in common -- they are all ready for anything! Botello's fascination
with the seductive curves of his ladies and the hard lines of a gun, a
rope or a knife is given full expression in this kinky celebration of
everything Texan. Guns, babes and restraints are in gloriously raw
black and white! |
