Mark Bennett has been documenting the UK's leading fetish club for over six years now with the aim of publishing a photo book in 3D as well as a traditional format. His images are scattered throughout the site and new images are updated by the club after each event.
Several
galleries contain his work as well as several being incorporated into the flash
animation on the homepage and used on the clubs flyers and print advertising.
The images regularly appear in Skin Two and Marquis magazines.
