Nude Photography and Ropes – Empowerment Through Vulnerability
What is this event?
📷 Photography runs through Bo’s veins. It’s a form of personal expression, a way for him to heal, to grow, to fly. He’s seen it as a final result, as a destination he needed to travel to and it taught him that the beauty of it comes with the whole process. The people in front of his lens have experienced a form of freedom he has later learned was eager for. The freedom of not wearing masks, of going within to find answers, of nakedness as a primal condition.
❤️🩹 This is Bo’s manifest: “Photography is a form of therapy. It challenges the individual to go deep into the core of the self and remap the mind and the body. It empowers the individual to visualise subtle concepts such as shame, guilt & acceptance. It guides the individual to feel, think and understand.”
✨This is not the usual workshop. This is not a product. This is a safely created environment for people to explore, expand, heal and learn from. Join us to get an insight into Bo’s method by observing him during the live demonstrations done together with Amina (model) and Faryna Volodymyr (rigger), listening to their stories of how they got into this photography project and finding out answers to the questions you might have.

Who teaches at this event?
Bo aka Bogdan Lepadatu is a fine art nude photographer specialised in nude in nature photography. His work has been exhibited in Paris and in Bucharest at the Bucharest National Opera House. He teaches photography and breathes photography. He has an ongoing photography project called 10+1 that brings multiple people (with ‘normal’ jobs and not models) in front of the camera.
Amina is a fine art nude model with a deep appreciation for the intersection of body, nature, and emotion. For her, modeling is not just about form—it’s about expression, vulnerability, and reclaiming her own presence through stillness and movement. She finds strength in softness and beauty in the raw and unfiltered. Her work is rooted in collaboration and trust. She loves working with photographers who view the body as a canvas for storytelling, where light, texture, and landscape come together to evoke something real. Whether in wild landscapes or quiet indoor settings, she brings intentionality, presence, and emotional depth to every shoot.
Faryna Volodymyr for who shibari is his path — one he’s walked for many years. It’s a form of communication beyond words. A physical dialogue, where rope becomes language. Through tension, pressure, rhythm, and space, partners exchange emotions, states of mind, trust — even conflict — often deeper than words could ever reach. For him, shibari is a form of active meditation. He focuses on the rope, the breath, the geometry of the body. For the model, it’s an immersion into sensation, a surrender into presence, into letting go. Shibari invites us to explore ourselves — our power, our vulnerability, our boundaries — and how we move within them. It’s a theatre where there’s no need to perform — only to be.

How can you reach us?
Our address is Bulevardul Theodor Pallady 287. You can find information on how to reach us here or here.
The area has many parking spaces, especially in the evening or after 6 pm. The metro station at “1 Decembrie 1918” is the closest to us and it’s only 8 minutes away, on foot.
Take the small elevator (it’s behind the large stairs on the ground floor) to the 5th floor, where you will see the sign for InFLUX. One more flight of stairs up, and you’re there. If mobility issues prevent you from climbing up a flight of stairs, you can take the large elevator, which will take you straight to our door, but that one is much slower.
Our phone number is +40723258105, and you can write to us on WhatsApp before the door-closing time.
