Jan Hronsky

Edgy, dark, oddball, humourous, with a touch of glamour, erotica and fashion. It's pretty hard to hang a definition on the work of Czech photographer Jan Hronsky.

Hikari Kesho

Italian photographer Hikari Kesho is best known for his shibari (japanese rope bondage) work. That isn't really my cup of tea, but there is no doubt he's a talented photographer.

Corwin Prescott

Tattooed women and sub-culture styles feature prominently in American photographer Corwin Prescott's work, but his work spans well beyond those lines. He gets bonus points for some very strong portraiture too.

Nerve - The First Ten Years

Nerve magazine has a little contest going on right now for best fiction and best photographer over the last 10 years. Unfortunately they don't provide full size links to any of the images, but the list is a who's who of the alt erotica/contemporary decadent photography scene.

You can vote for as many people as you want. I voted for Samantha West because I've corresponded with her and she's awfully nice. She is also an Art Nudes reader, she's young, and she could use the $1000 to buy new equipment.

Fontenoy

Frederic Fontenoy shows us what happens when a really talented photographer and artist turns to creating erotic work. Shot in a different style, by a less skilled photographer, these would be pure porn. However, in Fontenoy's hands these images are transcendent. Bizarre and dark stories are told, layers of perversion are hinted at. Pretty great stuff, although not for all tastes, I guarantee.

WARNING: The images in these galleries are very explicit.

WLTF - home

Brazilian artist Rodrigo Novaes wrote in to tell me about his new on-line magazine WLTF (you'll have to find out for yourself what it stands for) on the theme of desire & sexuality. The photography from the various contributors is generally of an extremely raw, decadent style that isn't my cup of tea. However, this isn't just a collection of dirty pictures either, there's definitely a unified aesthetic and an underlying intelligence at work. So, if you're interested in what the omni-sexual mutant photographers of Brazil are up to, here's your chance.

*Rated R for strong sexual content and really, really messy bedrooms*

:: Insousciance expose !

Insousciance, the French photographer, model and over all super cool Art Chick, has completely redone her website for Spring.

She describes it as:

"I reorganized the whole, archived old series in "Archives". "Portfolios" are always here for amateurs of natural/human confrontations.

New, there’s a new page called “Supercheries/Trick”, it is a concept of panoply, to create a theatric history or not... Everybody can see what he want."

I love her boundless energy and creative freedom to experiment. (And let's be honest, when I was in my 20's, I would have been head over heels for her!)

Judge: Suicide Girls’ Model Contracts Void, Invalid

If you've ever done any shooting with young tattooed models, the Suicide Girls topic has likely come up at some point. I've heard lots of rumours about this organization's questionable contractual requirements over the years. As it turns out, a judge has now ruled all their contracts null and void. Read the details below:

The Good Nudes

Art Nudes Reader R.J. Young is a professional photographer who runs two softcore erotica sites. He contacted my several months ago about linking to his sites, but although we had a very cordial correspondence, I had to decline due to my policy against paysites. However, I was glad to receive an email from him today letting me know that he's now started a blog documenting his shoots and the daily though processes and activities that go into his line of work.

Samantha Wolov

Samantha Wolov blurs the lines between art and pornography with her photos of couples engaged in acts of intimacy. The galleries are amusingly rated by level of explicitness.

I first discovered Richard Kern when his book New York Girls came out in 1999. That book turned out to be the leading edge of the wave of "alt erotica" that eventually evolved into things like the Suicide Girls, and all the other contemporary imitators. Now Vice Magazine has contacted me to tell me about their on-going video series "Shot By Kern" in which they interview Kern's models about their work with occasional commentary by the photographer. While the interview questions (and the camera work) lean towards the salacious, it's interesting to hear the model's point of view for a change.

Serbian photographer Milos Sadik. This was a tough one to classify, so I've settled on "alt erotica" for a tag. (Warning: Some explict content)
