Sometimes we hate the art world for turning erotic photography into such serious, sophisticated business. Yes, we can appreciate the interplay of light and shadow in these photos, but not as much as we appreciates this one model's massive tool.
Seriously, though, if the above tool is completely flaccid then we are mighty impressed! YVY brings us these legitimately gorgeous nude portraits by Montreal based picture-taker, Mikel Marton. Sometimes, after a long day of sifting through stills from old Randy Blue scenes, it's nice to sit back and enjoy some really good pictures of hot naked people for once. Yes, we love it when serious, talented photographers set their sights on doing interesting erotic photography. We just don't like it when we have to stop fantasizing about the hotness going on in the photos to listen to their pointless artistic theory on the subject. But you wouldn't make us suffer through that, would you Mr. Marton?
"Through my eyes (and body) I want to express the male body in a challenging, yet sensitive way, as well as give the viewer a unique opportunity to step inside a stylized version of my own sexual fantasies."
Oh god, somebody toss a copy of Goethe's Theory Of Colors or something at this guy to distract him before he keeps talking. We're glad he put some thought into this photo series, we really are. We're sure some art history grad student could drum up an entire dissertation on this thing if they really had to. Personally, well, we may not know much about art but we know that the dude in the blue lipstick is giving us a major boner. Check out the rest of these stunning shots at YVY Mag.
