‘Jonny Kaye’s debut book GROT is an expansive collective portrait of UK’s kink and fetish community. Compiled from the photographer’s archive, it depicts gimps, pro-dommes, sex workers, fetishists and queer friends unapologetically expressing their erotic selves on camera. GROT is an archive for the community and an active protest against cultural censorship. The word grot usually means “something unpleasant, dirty, or of poor quality” but, for Kaye, it signifies “the liberation behind embracing your inner filth”. - ’ Dazed Magazine, 2023.
