I'm a portrait photographer working on a book project about sex, sexuality, and gender. The book will bring together high-quality still-life and portrait photography and essays by experts in the field of psychotherapy and gender studies. The book will serve to open up and enrich a dialogue around many different aspects of sexuality, such as how sex workers experience themselves, men and women's ideas of what beauty is and how this affects their lives, and how religion can both enrich and cause difficulties for people's sense of themselves as sexual beings.
Some photographs will be still-life close ups, for example a beautifully manicured foot in a high-heeled shoe, others will be very spacious environment double-portraits, such as a couple in a room together. I'm excited to keep you all up-to-date on here with how the book is progressing, and would like to take this opportunity to invite both men and women who'd be interested in taking part as models.
It's very important to me that this potentially sensitive issue is treated with a deep sense of respect and care. If you would like to take part please be assured that your own creativity and input is encouraged and welcomed.
