AN INTRODUCTION

John Running has been photographing the female nude for all of his 40 years as a professional. The women he typically photographs are sensual and strong in demeanor and appearance. His photographs are collaboration with his models where there is room for each to express their creativity. His work reminds us that eroticism is yet another culturally laden value that depends on choices made by its consumers to be effective.

Running’s Album of Erotica is collaboration between photographer and model. It is a series of personal work done in the studio or on location with fun and sexy props and experimental sets. It is an exploration of the changing faces of the
model. Modify the props, set and light - transform the persona.

Work or play? The photographer and model are both exhausted and rejuvenated by the process of creating the images. Each session evolves into its own dynamic, the magic of creative interaction, sometimes sending out for more film!

More coffee! More wine! More Photos!!

There is delight in female form, no fear of womanhood, perfect freedom to play. In this magic studio there is no struggle to control; it has been replaced with trust.

... so that is how these photos are born, work and play. Now it is your turn.

Enjoy!

John Running
