Magic Zyks

If Joel Peter Witkin and Helmut Newton ever collaborated on a series of BDSM photographs for an Ikea catalogue, they might look something like the work of German artist Magic Zyks, whose sexy tableaus walk the fine line between menace and sensuality. (Don't be afraid if that sounds too intense for you: the photos are much more glossy and fashion-inspired than explicit. And so far we haven't come across any severed heads.)
