By the Skin of My Teeth, is the first comprehensive monograph by Steven Harwick. It focuses on his project "Bound Leather", which was started as a means of exploring and documenting the contemporary leather and BDSM communities through a photographic lens, leaning on cultural history and traditional fetish imagery while simultaneously subverting those standards by showcasing an array of people more inherently inclusive than the long-established canon. The intention is to highlight identity, obsession, subversions, and perversions.
