Please don't be put off by the word "erotica" as it's appended to Brooklyn-based photographer Ned Rosen's online portfolio site of sprightly, sexy nudes and fetish-flavored portraits: we tend to associate that word with gauzy soft-focus coffee table book type of stuff that's as notable (or not) for how flaccid it leaves us as for its lack of a sense of humor, and Rosen's work manages to both turn us on and make us smile at the same time. (Which is no mean feat, when you come to think about it.) Of course, you might not be as amused as we are by things like gorgeous naked women with furry tails and silly feather hats or peek-a-boo upskirt pics that straddle that fine line between fetish and fashion ... but then we're sure you won't have any problems coming up with a few choice words to describe his work yourself.
