  • The difference between writing for a series and editing a series;
  • Startling book covers;

  • Appearing in Penthouse;
  • The Lambda Literary Awards;
  • Writing from memory, writing true stories;
  • Getting turned on by the stories, an important part of judging erotica;

Hey sex fans,

scott church 2The internationally acclaimed photographer, Scott Church, returns today for another turn on this The Erotic Mind show. As you recall from last week, Scott has a gift for capturing the erotic and I believe this stems from his very enlightened philosophy of human sexuality.

Luckily, Scott agreed to come back today for more probing, as it were. So yay for that!

All ya gotta do is use the search function in the header; type in Podcast #417 and PRESTO! But don’t forget the #sign when you do your search.

Scott and I discuss:

  • His fetish and kink images and pushing his limits;
  • Equal parts sponge and mirror;
  • The power of the taboo;
  • Fetish models and lifestyle fetishists;
  • Starting out in high school then becoming a combat photographer;
  • Always a people photographer;
  • His diverse client base;
  • Erotic art and pornography;
  • Those who inspire him.

Hey sex fans, welcome back.968A1383-Edit-2

This here is The Erotic Mind show. And as you probably know, this is the series where I chat with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin’ world. Today we turn our attention to the visual end of the artistic spectrum because we are about to meet one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure of interviewing. My guest today is Ryan Edward Scott.

If that name is unfamiliar to you, it might be because Ryan calls little attention to himself; he lets his work speak for itself. However, if you know anything about erotic photography you have probably seen his work. And wait till you get a load of the samples he has selected for the slideshow in today’s podcast posting. It is pretty astonishing! Don’t miss it.

Ryan and I discuss:

  • His photography as an outgrowth of his inner life, and how it infuses his personal life;
  • The bearded man;
  • The sensuality of his naturescapes and urbanscapes;
  • Traveling the world looking for his muse;
  • His “day job;”
  • Commissioned work;
  • His super-religious and sexually repressed early life;
  • The beginnings of his photography;
  • Where he finds his models;
  • Shooting in a studio vs. shooting in natural light.
