A photographer of striking versatility as well as one of the world's finest photographic printmakers, Bob Carlos Clarke has made a wide range of memorable images in his career. Alongside photographs that transport his brilliant technique into a world of ambiguous eroticism, he also makes finely nuanced still lives that impart an uncanny humanism to inanimate objects.
"Best tip in affordable contemporary erotic photography is Irish-born Bob Carlos Clarke. Both Maclean and Juliet Hacking, head of Christie's photography department, tip him as the new Helmut Newton (the German-Australian photographer... - The Observer, Sunday May 7, 2006.
E Is for Exotic (Erotic Alphabet)... E is for Exotic proves that erotica can come in infinitely more
exciting combinations than the obvious tropical beach cliché.....(it)
spans the earth to titillate us with tales of sexual depravity that are
all equally exotic and sexy as hell.....As E demonstrates, it's not
just sun-drenched beaches or balmy summer locations that really inspire
lustful encounters. You can be anywhere in the world to conjure up
erotic passions worthy of putting pen to paper. Better still, read this
lovely book and you can get hot and heavy in all corners of the earth
from the comfort of your own bedroom. -- Forum UK
Big Spankable Asses... When three Chicago girlfriends find they aren't getting any, they get
serious. They want men who know their way around a woman's body--and
how to provide the ultimate in stimulating pleasure...it's over the
knee and over the top...
History of German Porn: Gretchen Kraut Collection... Germans are not really famous for their great passions or pleasures.
Abroad, people like to watch them falling under the tables at carnival
or at the October Fest, drunk and merry. Tacitus seems to have known
this side. He tells tales of the ancestors of the Germans, in classical
Rome. He found them a hard and wild tribe that loved to roam the
wilderness, stark naked. Indestructible even then but not really
prepared to enjoy lust and pleasure.
Lie With Me... Shot in sunny Toronto and set to a dreamy score, Lie With Me
looks and sounds like an art film, but the end result isn't quite so
lofty. The plot is thin and the dialogue superfluous, but no
matter--Canada's Clément Virgo (Love Come Down) just wants to
turn you on and he has enlisted two attractive, uninhibited young
performers to assist in his aims. Leila (Lauren Lee Smith, The L Word) and David (Eric Balfour, Six Feet Under)
meet at a party. He's with his girlfriend, but finds himself drawn to
her. The feeling is mutual. She's alone, but quickly finds an
unattached hipster with whom to have a tryst. David catches her in the
act. Instead of turning away, he watches. They start seeing each other
immediately afterwards. "I'm not hooked on danger, [I'm] hooked on
sex," Leila claims, but she isn't exactly the most trustworthy
narrator. She wants a purely physical relationship, while David wants
something more. They return to their old lives, but the obsession
refuses to die. Based on the novella by Virgo's partner, Tamara Berger,Lie With Me plays like a low-budget cross between Adrian Lyne's overrated 9 1/2 Weeks and Wayne Wang's underrated The Center of the World.
D Is for Dress-Up (Erotic Alphabet)... A Is For Amour, B Is For Bondage, C Is For Co-Eds and D Is For Dress-Up
kick off a new series from Alison Tyler and Cleis Press. From Amour to
Zippers, this alphabetical extravaganza of erotic delights features 26
hot volumes of explicit, playful stories.
The couples in these
stories love to put on a costume and try out a new persona for some
playful, amorous fun. Rachel Kramer Bussel shows what happens when a
modern girl becomes Dorothy for the Day, while Bryn Haniver’s
narrator makes short work of an old prom dress in Rags to Riches.
The last cut... This is a powerful and stimulating collection of erotic poetry. The book was launched as part of the Cardiff Bay List Festival in April. This sell-out event was at The Guardian Hay festival in May. Here, you will experience a journey through love, sex and despair. F.M.Kay's poetry pares emotion to the bone, exposing the pain and exhilaration of an overwhelming affair. This is a book that will speak to many especially those who have had or been tempted to have an affair. The poems trace the roller-coaster journey of a relationship, celebrating love, passion and the sheer joy of being together but also reflects the darker side of illicit love and finally, loss.

C Is for Co-eds (Erotic Alphabet)... "This series of alphabetically themed anthologies is already proving to
be a success. The stories are cleverly written and Alison Tyler
deserves full credit for picking the best writers to provide the most
powerful stories. And, with its college-centred focus, C is for Co-eds
certainly puts the cum into summa cum laude."--Ashley Lister -- Erotica Revealed Online, August 2007
Igor Amelkovich... Nude woman's body dressed in nothing more than mere skin is beautiful and unique. Exceptionally powerful vigor is housed inside. My photos is so overwhelming a flesh pulse can be felt.
My work is erotic art unlike the artificial pictures of plastic models from glossy magazines.
