- I recently purchased a copy of Charles Guyette: Godfather of American Fetish Art, by Richard Perez Seves. Guyette was possibly the first American kink entrepreneur, beginning in the 1930s selling “theatrical footwear” and branching out into fetish photography. He influenced the careers of John Willie, the Klaws, Leonard Burtmann, and others. The book is full of vintage fetish photography, reproduced art, and a short biography of Guyette.
