Richard Kern first rose to fame with a series of films starring Nick Zedd, Lydia Lunch, David Wojnarowitcz and many more. This films were seminal [no pun intended] to the underground film movement in New York City and have become quite iconic. Since he cleaned up his life in the late 80’s Kern has been a major photographer that has contributed to a number of pornography magazines and his work has also been featured in many respectable magazines as well.

Recently he has turned his all seeing eye to SuicideGirls...

This was a great interview, especially:

They call me because they know I can shoot young girls without attacking them. People have this impression before they meet me then when they do they go “You’re not a sleazebag at all.”


In some ways, this seems like what most of SG and other alt porn outlets is about- democratizing porn and creating a balance of power between the producers, the models, and the audience.

I've been a Kern fan for years. His movies, like "Fisted" and "You Killed Me First" were pretty much my into to underground movies. Then years later I found him again, shooting for Hustler's Leg World. I was pissed when that magazine went out of print. But now, thanks to SG, I got his website link. Awesome. Now I've gotta check out Lily's set smile

Lily told me that she caught a lot of shit from other models on the site for shooting with me because I shoot for Barely Legal and things like that.

Fascinating. Guy is an accomplished photographer and a SuicideGirl gets shit from certain others because she used him to shoot her set. How "Punk Rock."

Hell, I'd be proud if he'd do my portrait; check out his Portfolio on his web site to see how well he captures people.

Oh wow. I fucking love Richard Kern. His photography is partly what inspired me to become a model. "New York Girls" is like an edgier, slightly more explicit SG. love



I had copies of his photos all over the walls of my dorm room when I was in college. My roommate hated me. It was great.

The clarification above was appreciated, Lily. Thanks. That's a relief to my principles -- as well as aesthetics. The implication of Kern's statement was that he's a persona non grata to some models on this site. Glad to hear that's not the case from your experience.
