Scott F. Lanes understands my pain. He comprehends the subtle, golden ratio between latex and bare skin. He recognizes when a prop—a whip, some rope, sculpted iron—should be held in the hand, in the mouth or secured over the head of a model. He understands the I'm-about-to-suck-your-dick POV and the my-stilettoed-boot-is-about-to-kick-your-sorry-ass perspective. He understands to use color photography for a purple haired goddess and B&W for a pale beauty garbed in stark black leather. Sigh. It's obvious that few pornographers really "get it"—which is why I think erotic art photography like this can be so intoxicating and often packs a certain punch that more explicit porn lacks.A.
