I love
the idea of erotica; the word has old fashioned, Edwardian, connotations.
It's a little bit naughty, sexy, flirtatious and above all fun. Not
quite as pretentious and serious as 'art nude'; not as impersonal
or demeaning as pornography.
I like
black and white pictures. You can push the boundaries of the erotic
a lot more in black and white without offending. Some of the great
photographers such as Edward Weston, Bill Brant and Alfred Stieglitz
established the medium as an art form and this still influences the
way people view photographs today.
Black
and white still makes the statement 'look at me I'm being different/serious/
artistic/creative' in today's super saturated colour world.
