Longtime readers may remember my occasional series entitled ‘fetish or fashion?’ It’s where I post a series of images and ask people to guess if they’re from a fetish or fashion context. You can see the last series starting here and ending here.
I don’t have time to run a full series right now. However, I stumbled across this image recently and thought it’d make a fun one-off post. Is this fashion or fetish? The answer tomorrow!

I’m inclined to say fetish because of the dog bowl but I reckon that’s a double bluff and this is actually a fashion shot, those boots are lovely.
The boots are indeed lovely! But no double bluff involved 🙂

I’m voting fashion.
I can totally picture this as a fashion advertisement for those boots, but it’s actually fetish. Thanks for joining in the fun 🙂

I’m always happy to be wrong! 😉
I am kinda leaning towards “Fetish” for this one. But that is just a guess.

Just to poke in my opinion: often the Venn Diagram of fetish photographers and fashion photographers is a circle.
Interesting observation. Appreciate you sharing it, given your extensive background in working with photographers to get the shots you want!
I was going to comment that a fair number of fashion shoots seem to use fetish/kink without really understanding it. But on reflection I think the same could be said for some fetish shoots I sometimes see!
Thanks for stopping by,
