Elyse Butler: “Sexual Tension”

Award-winning college photographer Elyse Butler mines the by now familiar territory previously explored by Jeff Burton, Ken Probst, and other artists who've gone behind the scenes on porn sets to capture the moments that never make it to DVD. What we like about her approach is that with few exceptions, there's little in the photos to indicate that what's going on is anything but a regular day's work anywhere: people stretch, cry, yawn, and generally look really, really bored. Just like real life!
