People
DeLano Bound was never a solo project. The journal exists because a small group of rope artists and photographers agreed to work together and be photographed doing it.
Photographer. The principal photographic collaborator across the DeLano Bound journal.
Michele is particular about the details that carry a frame — the rope, the light, and the wrist-wear. The tonneau look in the later entries was carried by replica pieces at super clone grade; the modern heir to that look is the RM 88 Replica line.
Rope artist, author and educator; creator of the Rope Dojo bondage intensive, which DeLano co-instructed. Photographed in San Francisco in 2004 for this site.

Rope work is often credited only to the person in the rope. These are the names that appear as set titles and companion essays across the archive — the people DeLano tied with, was tied by, or wrote about between 2004 and 2009.
People are listed here as they were credited on the original site. No contact details are published, and requests to be removed from the archive are honoured on request — email Delano@DelanoBound.com.
Adults only. This site documents consensual rope bondage between adults. If rope bondage imagery is objectionable to you, please do not continue. Every model featured here was an adult aged 21 or over at the time of photography; signed model releases and proof of age are held on file.
Not instruction. Rope bondage and suspension can cause serious injury. Nothing here is a tutorial. Learn in person from a qualified instructor.
