Hello Miss Stegral & Happy New Year.
Lochai is fairly generous with the use of his images. He asks that they are not used in the context of profit and that a clear link is given to his Kirinawa site.
A quick pm to him here in Lit advising and linking would be the most courteous course to take also. His Lit profile link is here.
Kirinawa web address is http://kirinawa.com/
Time permitting he will most likely scroll this thread.
Hope the above is of assistance

If you are an event organizer or group leader & would like to hire me to either photograph your event and or teach at your event/club, please drop me a line @ nawalochai@kirinawa.com
Here is a list of classes that I currently teach. I can & do mix & match classes to fit attendee's needs & time.
Laugher in Rope - don't take your self so seriously, it's called play for a reason. We go over pitfalls of rope bondage & all the things that can & do go wrong, & how to get past them with a sense of humor. Great for those who think they must be serious in all forms of play. co-taught with Janice
Basics of Rope Shibari - From what end of the rope do we tie with to what types of rope should we use to what knots & when do we use them.
Breast Bondage - if it has a nipple, it can be tied. This class goes over the pleasure of nipple/breast bondage for both men & woman. Also talks about the health aspects of breast play.
Arm Binders - How to tie a appendages together. Arms, legs, breasts & bodies in parallel.
Artistic Aspects of Shibari - This will build on aspects of the first class (basics class) & give a new perspective on rope bondage to those who already have a basic to advanced knowledge of shibari/bondage. This is a hands on class that can range from 1 - 2 hours. We will be talking about how we move while rigging & how to make the rope look beautiful. Not a "how to perform" class but more of a "how to show confidence" class... Being a professional photographer, I look at shibari from more angles than I can list, I like sharing my views on taking the basics further & making it the riggers signature.
Speed Bondage - How to choose lengths of rope & how to tie with speed & accuracy which for many bottoms enhances their pleasure.
Hogties - Japanese style & western. We go over the benefits of the hogtie in play & submission & highlight the similarities & differences between styles.
Predicament Bondage - Win win situations for the top & win win ;-) for the bottom. We talk about positions & situations where bondage is used to pit a bottoms own body against them. Can be a very fun/painful/humiliating class....
Suspension Bondage - This is only taught in a small group or 1 on 1 setting with advanced students.
Non rope bondage classes
The Roles We Play - Role play in our every day life many times conflicts with the sexual roles we want to live in the lifestyle. How do we merge the 2, or 3, or 4.
Teacher, doctor, lawyer, ceo, mother, father, student etc... Puppy, slave, submissive, Dom, Teacher, Sir, Madam, Mistress, Goddess etc... Another aspect of the class is titles.... How do we earn them & is it OK to buy or make them up.
Puppy Play for the human canine.
All aspects of Pony Play from 2 legged ponies to 4 legged equines. Mindset, equipment & training....
Corporal. From Victorian spankings to canes & whips. Punishment play to real punishment. We discuss the mindset needed to accomplish our goals in this form of play. Tools of the trade will be discussed, demoed & shared.
Photography Talk / Slide show presentation... I am an internationally published, award winning bondage/fetish/bdsm photographer with insight into our lifestyle that many other photographers look over. I have a slideshow/talk to fit any time-slot.
Both Janice & I teach/facilitate a discussion with my girlfriend Kate on Multi Dom Couples / Families. Both my wife & I are dominant & my poly girlfriend who is my submissive is dominant outside of our leather family. How to deal with ego, attitude, hierarchy in an ego driven lifestyle... This is a perfect class/discussion group for couples, poly & leather families with multiple dominant members.
My Wife Janice also teaches the following classes...
Switches Roundtable - A discussion of issues regarding switching. Pros and cons of switching publicly and/or privately, misconceptions about switches, what triggers switches to go into a top/bottom space, other labels switches identify with, and other topics as they come up. Group participation will take this discussion in whatever direction participants take us.
Stretching for Play - An interactive demonstration sharing stretching techniques for tops and bottoms, since we all know that a knotted muscle can quickly end a scene. Stretching for bottoms will include stretches to extend ability to remain standing, on knees, in bondage, or other positions for a length of time. For tops it will include stretches to loosen wrists, shoulders, and backs for increased comfort and endurance.
Waxing: Hair Removal - Want to make your mark on your bottom without making it permanent? Looking to find a different sensation technique? Or something new to increase the fear factor? This class will cover the basic steps involved in large area hair removal. Come and see how wax can be used to evoke sensations that your bottom has not experienced during play, and take a little more control over their grooming.
Playing with Yourself – Don’t have a partner, but still want to play? Are there types of play that you enjoy but your partner does not? This class includes techniques to help you scratch your own itch, from orphan age play to impact play, to needles, etc. Setting up a play space in public that will not be intruded upon will also be discussed.
Creating a Connection – You have found someone to play with and negotiated a scene. Now what? This will include a discussion of pre- and post-play rituals for centering yourself and connecting with your new (or long-time) partners.
