It takes a fair amount of gumption to describe your photos as embodying the essence of "porno chic" if you're not, say, Helmut Newton. So we were a little skeptical when we started clicking around French photographer Nekosai's portfolio-cum-paysite and saw that he was so confident in the label that he even decided to publish a book entitled—what else?—"Porno Chic". Fortunately, Nekosai's stark and sexy nudes and fetish work have a stylish appeal in their own right, even if despite the fact that they feature things like expensive shoes and thigh-high stockings they're not exactly the kind of photos you'd see splayed across the glossy pages of a mainstream fashion magazine. (Not that you'd be turned on by anything in a post-Hemut Newton issue of Vogue these days anyway. Er, right?)
