What is Erotic Photography?
Erotic photography is a form of art that captures the beauty and sensuality of the human body. The term “erotic photography” is used to describe a type of photography that captures the beauty and sensuality of the human body.
By definition the word erotic pertains to “relating to arouse sexual desire or excitement”
When the term erotic is said it does not always infer explicit. Many things can provoke sexual desire, the things that provoke sexual excitement do not have to be profane. It is totally possible that erotism is found in subtly, hidden between the lines, as well as blatant sexual content. Everybody has a different opinion regarding the meaning of eroticism. In general, the erotic word is also used to describe the action of any emotion that is revealed on the human face. To be more specific, it is a sexual expression. Although, you might find that there are other less sexually related things that are called "erotic" so this term is not written in stone.
What are you turned on by? What do you find provoking? What draws you toward another person or even toward yourself?
One night my partner and I were lounging in bed, just resting in our sweats, just scrolling through our digital devices, and he asked me, “Is your check engine light still on?” Right there at that moment, I feel compelled to fervently attack him, he was the most sexy hottest being ever at that very moment. You must realize that Acts of Service, is my number one love language. A few days prior he had replaced the battery in my car, and all he was doing was checking up to make sure everything was running smoothly. That lingered in my mind for a few days, and when I shared with him my experience he chuckled.
Another totally non explicit thing that is a total turn on is the voice of Sam Elliott that is deep, robust yet velvety and romantic all in one. To hear him speak ignites something in me.
Erotism is not always bare flesh.
Now that you have an idea of what really is erotic you can visualize what that means to you. With the birth of the photograph so was the birth of erotic photography. This was not a profound discovery, nothing really ground breaking. Before erotic photography we had erotic painters. Look at anything produced during the renaissance and you will find erotism. Travel even further back in time and you will find it too.
Erotic photography can be emulate romanticism with slight suggestion or border on the lewd and downright obscene. As the famous saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
I challenge you to think about what feels erotic to you. Are you looking for a more sublime hidden message or are you overt and blatant?
Think about what has drawn you to individuals. What propelled you to desire them? What brought them to you? Are there aspects of yourself that excite you that attract others. There is nothing like loving something that you do yourself, and also having that excite others.
Are you ready to explore your own session and create something erotic for yourself or for someone special.
