Fox Harvard has added a photo to the pool:Copyright © 2010, Fox Harvard, All Rights Reserved***If interested, please feel free to email me for information on the book***In an age where growing up in America guarantees one an almost prescribed and seemingly congenital exposure to sexually charged imagery, the influence of the erotic on our individual and collective sexuality is undeniable.Whether it be mediocre product advertising or outright exploitation, the ever-present erotic and provocative has irrevocably changed the method and manner in which we express & consume. Television is saturated with shows rewarding the unaccomplished and talentless with ready-made, icon-level celebrity status simply based on their sexuality. The internet is a virtual library of sexual imagery where the statistical majority of its use (and its commerce) is simply for the trade of pornography. Even in everyday routine one can hardly even clothe themselves, in any form, without the sexual influence of flash & flaunt.And yet, to the seemingly blind, the current generation's ponderous sexual clout is somehow still shocking. In reality it's nothing more than a new spin on the proverbial cycle of we-desire-what-we're-fed, and in turn, we-create-what-we-desire. So the way in which their sexuality is so readily prevalent and their comfort with allowing it to either express or define a portion of their individuality (more so than previous generations) should come as no surprise.From the temptations offered by biblical garden snakes to those offered by MTV's high-def pubescent pop-stars, the way with which we act--and react--in a sexual context is in a perpetual state of evolution; so much so, that by the time one has attempted to understand it--much less define it with words or pictures--it's changed yet again. I'm not sure what the consensus on this would be but I think it's rare to encounter any piece of erotica that doesn't look or read slightly dated, often in concept as well (even "post-modern" work, by its very conception, is based upon preconceived notions or ideas). Perhaps it's that very challenge that makes the task of trying to capture it so entertaining.Apfelmusik is intended to be a hodgepodge of the images created of said generation, from my more recent work. Over the last year spent shooting it I simply wanted to capture and exhibit the individual sexual presence of each person as it existed (or at least as I saw it). When shooting each model I wasn't trying to be conscientiously artistic; I was merely recording the passion or sexuality of each person in their immediate environment (with some degree of playfulness, to be sure). And though while shooting I tried to avoid most of the banal clichés of nude & erotic photography, by paying little attention to specific style or genre, some of the final product actually came off as being quite indicative of fashion & editorial work; particularly due to the theatricality of the model's chosen poses. Each model was encouraged to pick the concept they wanted to do along with choosing key bits of the shoot, from their outfits, to choosing how to pose (or not to). Though the colors and tones were carefully chosen in post-processing, contrary to how some of the work may appear, most shots are of extremely spontaneous moments without being too mindful of instruction or rules.To be honest, there is no rhyme or reason as to how the pictures here are arranged--I simply wanted a compilation of random frames from different shoots that, as a whole, communicated something similar. And while some might appear overly familiar from page to page, I felt each one had something special that differentiated and compelled it enough to be included.I must say that I'm not sure much here encroaches on art with a capitol "A"--as I didn't want to feel pretentious shooting them--but I think many are respectively poignant and impressive in their ability to stir emotion after the fact.Enjoy,FH

Ikon Visuals posted a photo: 6th installment in my Rock & Roll Fantasy collection, came up with this as I was thinking of home and a good friend in particular "Jim Degrasso" who played drums for Megadeath, Suicidal Tendencies, Lita Ford, White Lion and is now the drummer for Alice Cooper, but he was also for a number of years the drummer for Y&T, who were big on the west coast of the US but practically unknown on the east, except for 1 hit, "Summertime Girls". So this goes out to Jim "Rock on dude!" and although I'm based in Singapore, all the summertime girls in the US (although I gave this a California/Hawaii/Florida feel, could be asia too, or anywhere in the tropics). Enjoy!The other 5 images in this series so far can be found here:www.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/4727098056/in/set-72157...and www.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/4698519599/andwww.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/4697520767/and www.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/4707826419/andwww.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/4719132391/Strobist Info:1 1200W Light w/ 2m x 2m softbox or beauty dish Camera right high angled down.1 600w light with softbox (rim light) behind model, camera leftMakeup & Hair By:Athenleawww.modelmayhem.com/1555156To see more images of this model and others go to:www.flickr.com/photos/ikonvisuals/All images are copyright Jeff Boyle/Ikon Visuals and may not be used in any way, shape or form without prior written permission from Jeff Boyle/Ikon Visuals, this includes posting to blogs and/or websites or using in ANY work.Flickr forbids me from mentioning where my work is for sale, yet has zero problems taking my copyrighted work and using it to promote themselves, even though blog option off by allowing it in their program that pulls images from flickr onto blogs.
