When I started Blogging on Alt.com most of it was about Art, with a particular bent towards Erotic Art.
I just got the catalogues for this seasons Contemporary auctions at Sothebys and Christies.
If any of you have a spare £50 grand I can highly tip and recommend the work of the German photographer Thomas Ruff [see atached.]
He has a piece at Christies on Oct 16th. Some of his work may be a little obvious and stereotypical.
However I love the skewed focus of these photos. They give a sense of time blurring, of texture and almost of scent.
I adore the idea of that 'peripheral vision' we all get during sex, a sort of 6th sense of sensuality.
All ones attributes blending together into a greater sensual whole.
Ruff is also a kinky bastard after my own heat as far as an expensive pair of knickers haughtily pulled to one side or a tight pair of stockings go...
I shall have to get my camera out and practice a little more before getting into this standard...
With love as ever.....

Very nice, and this suggestion couldn't have come at a better time. I'm currently working on a set of experimental portraits with my photography which use motion blur as a large part. | |

Am I doing something wrong, I can't see an attachement ?? | |

Thanks for posting this-- his work is very interesting. I would not, however, describe him as an erotic photographer. His Nudes series are digitally reworked internet porn stills, blown up and obscured. He doesn't work with the erotic as a subject in the larger body of his work at all. | |
