 MARC
BLACKIE
Marc Blackie is a photographic artist specialising in erotic nude
photography centreing on tne stylish intersection of goth looks and fashion
with fetishism and bondage.
Marc was born in 1975 and lives and works in London. Besides his photographic
pursuits, Marc is a singer and song-writer in the music group, Sleeping
Pictures.
Exploiting the natural curvature of the female form and deep Film
Noir shadows, Marc produces stunning images capturing the sensual
beauty of his models. Marc's nude studies are intensely intimate, projecting
strong individual character as well as a frank eroticism.
Marc's hard-edged black-and-white images appeal strongly to Art Deco
sensibilitities. Given the gothic slant and the element of sado-masochism,
one could also speculate about the combination of Eros and Thanatos and
the implication of Vanitas, but as Marc himself hinted when I tried to
probe his understanding of his audience, the main reason people like his
pictures is because they're sexy. So I'll abandon the banal attempt to
intellectualise, and leave you simply to enjoy them.
Further examples of Marc's work can be viewed on his slick and pollished
website, http://www.disappointedvirginity.co.uk.
