Pawel Jaszczuk is a Polish photographer based in Tokyo, Japan. For his series, Behind Tokyo’s Door, Pawel documented the going ons and romps in underground fetish parties in Tokyo. His other series, Shibari (rope bondage), is also worth a look. [Warning: NSFW!]
Pawel managed to secure access to his subjects through hard work and perseverance; despite being in a closed society that does not welcome gaijin/foreigners. He started this body of work in 2006, by talking to people and making connections at the seediest places.
