Sexual Selection – The Striking New Photo Book by Natacha Merritt

May 28, 2012 by
Sexual Selection Natacha Merritt

Sex, Art… and Insects. In 2000, Natacha Merritt released Digital-Diaries (Taschen) The 21 year old San Franciscan was photographing her sex life with her friends, masturbating with and without accessories, in bed, in the shower, in hotel rooms, from every imaginable angle and with the camera usually at arm’s length. Digital-Diaries allowed the reader a no-holds-barred insight into Merritt’s fantasies, desires, exploits and realities. Her controversial work was soon featured in diverse publications across the world from Rolling Stone to The Observer, from Playboy and Der Spiegel to Dazed and Confused. That book went on to become an L.A. Times and Amazon bestseller, selling over 300,000 copies.  [Read more...]

Tim Rosier – Delta Photography

April 23, 2012 by
Tim Rosier

Tim Rosier is an experienced and highly accomplished part-time, self-taught photographer, based in Northamptonshire. He came into photography reasonably late in life, after buying an SLR camera as a Christmas present to himself back in 2005. He then decided to learn all he could about photography via books and the internet.

Since those early days, Tim has taken a degree in photography, to stretch himself and achieve his aim of taking the best images he possibly could. His stunning black and white work and the skill and vision he has for superb, sensual erotic art shows just how far he has come. Photography has now become almost an obsession for him and he shoots as much as possible in whatever spare time he gets, always looking to expand his knowledge and skill set.

Tim likes to treat every shoot as a fun event both for himself and his models, as he strongly believes that this relaxed environment is much more conducive to working with new or experienced models and aids in creating better results. He specialises in erotica, with artistic nude, fashion and fetish work being featured the most.

Tim strives to create a sense of mystery in his images, to allow the viewer’s imagination to run wild and create whatever scenario the image suggests to them. Tim has a love of shooting on location, especially in derelict buildings, and is always on the lookout for new locations before the developers move in and knock them down. Tim is available for both private commissions and collaborations with models.

Richard Savage Artist and illustrator

January 31, 2011 by
005_-by-Richard-Savage

Richard Savage has been a figurative artist for twenty years. His work is diverse and his aim is to capture something of the celebration of life in all its wonderful shades. He works mainly in acrylics, but is also happy working in oils, pastels, line and wash, watercolour and mixed media. Richard’s current projects are concentrating on figurative art, illustrations and book covers, working for four American publishing houses.

He also undertakes private commissions and considers most professional work. He has never shied away from provocative topics including fetish, gothic, gay, lesbian and fantasy. Much of his private commission work comes from the BDSM world; Richard has a working knowledge of how the scene operates and it is for that reason his clients feel comfortable with him working on their project.

Richard says, “My clients value their privacy and it is my job to put them at their ease while we work on their artwork” He works from photographs and sells mainly over the internet, a high percentage of work going to the United States as well as to his home UK market and clients globally.

The Dark Tantra sex magick pack – beyond scented candles and whale song…

June 17, 2010 by
Sacred Whore

The Seeker We were all innocent once, searching for love, sex, and play. However well informed (or debauched…) we become, we should never stop learning. Emotional, spiritually, technically,
there has never been so much information available for the serious student of the limits of human sensuality. The first step on the long road to noir enlightenment is the breaking of taboos. What are you afraid of? Go there and face it. Then move on, wiser and stronger.

The Sacred Whore

This card honours anyone who channels the healing power of sex. You needn’t be selling sexual services to be a Sacred Whore- not that there’s anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld would say. Escorts provide lonely men with their only access to sex or spicier interaction than some partners are able to provide and provide commitment and marriage-phobes with a cheaper alternative than thirty or forty years of wedded bliss. As you may have may have heard or experienced, marriage doesn’t always work out for all sorts of reasons and The Sacred Whore, whether female, male or transgendered – provides medication for the walking wounded in the gender wars. As for enthusiastic amateurs, the more the merrier. The healing life-affirming power of sexual bliss cannot be accessed too often. Be bad. It’s GOOD…Sacred Whore
