One
of the greatest erotic photographers of our time, Trevor Watson has just
released a new book that promises to be just as intoxicating as his
previous publications. And indeed it is. Rarely has an artist so blatantly
aligned himself with the world of erotica while simultaneously being so
brashly inventive and so thoroughly artistic. His ultra-imaginative
composition is what makes him an artist. His unparalleled technique is
what makes him a master. And Exposed! is a body of work totally
worthy of such an icon. It is absolutely breathtaking. 160 pages of
polished erotica so perfect and so potent it almost defies the
imagination.
Exposed! is a compilation of Watson's black & white work
(darkroom and digital) and is a mix of both his private and commercial
prints. His subjects are what the title derives from. Most of them have
shaved their labia's and there is a noted focus on this area of their
anatomy. Yet, this is not to be mistaken for porn, which often emphasizes
the same thing. Watson's models are presented as beings of power, they
make strong eye and facial contact and are not passive or in any way
depersonalized. They are empowered by their bodies and their sexuality and
control the situation themselves. This is a fabulous book, a wonderful
artistic statement, and fantastic photography, and all fans of artistic
erotica in general and Trevor Watson in particular will want to make sure
they procure it as soon as possible.
