"I like depicting sexy, strong women - the spirit of a dominatrix.
Through my work I explore the part of my personality that enjoys
teasing and provocation. In doing this, I've seen the change and
growth of myself as a person, a woman, a lover, a critical
open-minded thinker and, most important, as an artist." - Alejandra
Guerrero. In the second decade of the twenty-first century we are
witnessing an unprecedented exploration of female sexual power,
while on the other hand reactionary cultural forces contrive to
keep women as defenceless as possible. In this context, the work of
photographer Alejandra Guerrero can be understood as a clarion
call. Hers is a rarefied visual art that marks a turning point for
female sexuality in erotica, her eloquent tableaux revealing the
intricate ways in which women exert their erotic power. Here we see
a future in which women dictate raw, yet refined desires. Each
moment comes from the erotic fever dreams of the participants and
the desires of the woman behind the camera. Sometimes, when
Guerrero turns the lens upon herself, those moments are one and the
same. Contents: We delight in wickedness by Violet Blue; Plates;

Fehl Cannon's work is about permission to look, admire &
desire. His guys share his obsession with their bodies. Props are
used as erotic symbols serving as totems of masculinity, emblems of
private and communal fantasies. Fehl Cannon captures male energy,
freezing it for our view in a split-second flash.
