What draws most enjoyers of erotic photography to Andreas Puhl is how gentle his photographs are. The way he captures the quietness of the human form without artifice and exaggeration is truly beautiful. His work feels like an exhale, an unhurried observation of people as they are present, vulnerable, and unposed in spirit.

The Poetry Of The Everyday

Puhl's settings are ordinary, without spectacle or an attempt to glorify or distort, and it is that ordinariness of a table, bed, or patch of grass that lets him create extraordinary photographs. He has a rare sensitivity to atmosphere. It is like he can feel the way air feels in a room, the temperature of the morning light, or the grain of wood against the skin, and by using this talent, he guides his models to inhabit their surroundings rather than to perform in them.

Most of his work is in black and white, which is where the sunlight plays a crucial role. It is not only used to brighten up the photographs...

One of the main reasons she chose to pick up the camera over her drawings throughout the years is not because she abandoned her art of drawing, but because she realized that photography resonated better with her. She could create work that feels alive and breathes as it is observed, which can easily be noticed in all of her work as it blurs the line between painting and reality quite successfully.

The Water As A Mirror Of The Soul

Fora Mira, water is more than just a preferred setting for her photographs. I is the foundation of her creative identity, as she refers to water as creation, life, and power. In her images, water plays two roles - the role of the womb, and the role of the abyss. Just...
