Eric John: Erotique Entertainment

For someone who's worked with some of the top names in the adult industry (including the legendary Vanessa del Rio) as well as some of the most stunning up-and-comers, Eric John has a refreshingly down-to-earth approach to his work—and one that we here at Fleshbot can definitely identify with: "My favorite thing is when I show someone who is not used to the very erotic type of material a very hardcore image that is so very well done and so artistic that they can't just easily dismiss it. It clearly displays artistic qualities and ability, yet it is in a category that they have been conditioned by society to dismiss as trash or "porn" (a term that really needs to go, by the way!) or whatever. I love watching the stretching of their minds and their simultaneous actions of being turned on and confused." Since our jobs largely involve being both simultanously turned on and confused most of the time, we'll be keeping a close eye on Eric's experiments in P.O.V. and hardcore glamour photography; we recommend you do the same.
