The choice between pure reproduction of an existing situation and the staging of completely new fantasy worlds is without doubt an essential part of photography. Without wanting to deny the attractions of the former, I nevertheless believe that the second way of proceeding is a fundamentally greater challenge. In erotic photography, above all, opens up a wide range of opportunities that go far beyond the mere depiction of the body. Readers of this issue can get an impression of this genre through the work of several photographers which was partly done as „pure” photography, and partly by using the varied techniques of digital image editing. But even simply integrating the model into unusual surroundings, perhaps combined with out-of-the-ordinary requisites, can provide the photographer with a wide-ranging field of activity. I hope this edition of FINE ART PHOTO gives you new stimuli for your own work.
