Omschrijving
Dian Hanson curates the most startling images from photographer Laurent Benaïm and his ongoing investigation of extreme and alternative sexuality. Featuring amateur models in acts of transgressive, uninhibited passion, Benaïm’s pictures are produced through the vintage gum dichromate print process, lending each image the forbidden feel of a Belle Époque postcard.
Dian Hanson is a senior editor and writer for TASCHEN, with over 50 books to her credit. In addition to ARNOLD, her recent works include The Art of Pin-up, Masterpieces of Fantasy Art, and The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta. Parisian photographer Laurent Benaïm (born 1965) specializes in the depiction of edgy and unusual sexuality. Shooting only real couples and amateur models, and working with the Victorian gum bichromate print process, he has garnered an international following, both online and in more daring galleries.
