Does "porn-art" exist? (series)

Today, once again, my facebook was blocked because of a (censored) photo  of a girl in a miniskirt, where you could see under the skirt - the  part that I pixelated for fb.

We live in a strange world.  Everything is sexualized. Fashion, products of any kind, everything  sells with sex. But not with real sex. It is, what I call "plastic sex"  or "high security sex". There are no directly visible nipples, no hairs,  no skin and, what's important, no feelings.

As soon as it gets real or "true", sexuality is condemned just as it was in medieval times.

This  is nothing new and it's quite a long time since - exactly for these reasons - I somehow have the wish  to produce sexual, but artistic images. I believe that sexuality is  something beautiful, something healthy and something good. I see no  reason why sexuality, or real sex, should not appear in art.

And I  mean art, not porn. Actually I don't even like porn. I never consume  it. I own one porn movie only, "deep throat" and this just because it  was the first porn movie I have ever seen, at the age of 16 in a cinema  in Paris. And when I told my ex-girlfriend about the history she wanted  to see it and downloaded it.

For me personally showing a pussy,  even a wet and open one, is not porn per se. For me, porn is the fake  representation of a commercialized sexuality, without feelings, without  love, and often degrading for the people who act.

I have no intention to enter into the porn business. But I'd love to create artistic sex-photos. Porn-art, so to say.

But  it is not easy. It is a very fine line between cheap porn and a piece  of art, the borders are merging. To be true, I don't have it very clear.  I am experimenting.

Of course, it's not easy to find models who  want to cooperate. For me it is only possible with lovers, and it's not  often that one of them first wants to take photos at all and then even  sign a release that allows me to publish the results. But sometimes it  happens.

For this series here I have first chosen a contrast-rich  light that hides most of the details to just transmit the feelings. But  then again I thought: why so very inhibited? These pictures don't cross  any borders, and if, then the border to kitsch. So I changed the light  and got a bit more directly.

I believe, some of the results are  beautiful and are in the direction I'd like to achieve. But when you  look at them please keep in mind: in "porn art" I am just a beginner.

I hope it's ok for you, when I share my experiments with you.
