An Intimate Respect of Power and the Female Orgasm

I can't wait to introduce you to the photography, publication, and projects of artist Will Santillo. You know I enjoy visual erotica as much as the next woman... or man. It's a real pleasure to discover an artist and erotic artwork that reflect the very essence of the female nude and intimate sexuality... and that which is not just created solely for the male audience alone.

Intriguing and exciting, Santillo's work with his subjects is at times both private and strangely inviting. I would be quite happy to be a willing participant in his shoots, and in fact many women seek him out to do their photos.

Don't wait any longer to explore Santillo's La Petite Mort: An Intimate Respect of Power & the Female Orgasm. The series is especially captivating. Each and every woman is seen to be experiencing their most richest of orgasms just for themselves. In many of the images the women are lost in the most simplest of pleasures - they are claiming the moment and seem unaware and uninterested in the photographer.

I find that exciting and joyful and recommend this series highly as something that should be highlighted, discussed, displayed and emphasized on every reputable site.

For me, taking photos of women nude is all about showcasing their beauty while at the same time highlighting their strength, independence and fragility. The most surprising to me his how Santillo can portray the vulnerability and power of the woman at the same time - something rarely seen when women expose themselves in front of a camera. The lighting is exquisite and in some ways reminiscent of Noir in the 30s and 40’s. And every shot I’ve seen is most respectful of the subjects, whether they are men, women, couples or groups experiencing the joys of sex and play. Not only do I find the photos sexy, but I also find them extremely personal and captivating.

Santillo has recently had his work published in Taschen Press’ The New Erotic Photography, a sweeping 608 page compendium of artistic talent, showcasing the best erotic photographs taken by 82 photographers from 14 countries. Each photographer shares their thoughts on early inspiration, mentors and what defines a perfect model. Santillo also has more publications on the way. I’ve read this about Santillo’s work:

His artistic versatility engages both commercial and avant-garde tastes. Santillo seeks to uncover the Hidden Face of his subjects, the sensual persona that exists within all people. His work celebrates these personae with sensitivity, compassion and depth. They capture The Perfect Moment—the lingering, charged moods and memories that recall the often tender - but sometimes taboo - aspects of human desire.

Santillo, your invite is definitely intriguing... we'll talk more! ;)

Exile, I definitely understand your disappointment... if only our grade schooling reflected all the "adult" options available to us later in life. ;)!
