Need to Know
Meet the Hosts
The London Vagabond
The London Vagabond are London based lovers and fetishists. They have been making work collaboratively for around five years under the alias "The London Vagabond".
The work has a focus on fetish, eroticism, and the documentation of the marginalised. The work created together comes from two separate perspectives: a submissive male point of view which is far removed from the typical, often misogynistic male gaze, and the female perspective is from a dominant female and an advocator of female empowerment.
They both want to depict the individual/s in the images honestly, and for the work to be a true and powerful representation of the subject/s in the frame.
