The
Art of Ben Walker
"I
am a UK based photographer, and have been actively taking photographs for
over ten years. I was introduced to the joys of nude photography by my
older brother; I used to sneak a look at his book collection when I was
a kid. The thrill seems to carry through to the present, as I still get
the same buzz from looking through my latest work.
I have
had many small Web sites show my work, but the best collection of my work
can be found at Michelle7,
a fine art erotic photography site and showcase of artists. Michelle7
were very supportive of my early work. Jack Gilbert, the Artist Representative
for them, actually sought after me. I must admit, I was surprised.
I have
spent many long hours in the dark room trying to come up with a style of
my own. For a long time I believed it to be impossible. I would fret about
it so much I nearly made myself ill, not to mention the strain it put on
the relationship with my wife, Lynn, who is also my most photographed of
models. |

Both
my wife and I have healthy interest in sex. I think most couples play in
front of a camera at some point in their relationship, so it seemed natural
and fulfilling to explore new ideas with each other. Then, like most things,
it developed into something of a hybrid of Love, Sex and Art. I strongly
feel that all those aspects come through in the work. |
As
time has progressed I have delved into different avenues, some involving
quite 'hard' images. It has taken a huge amount of time to be accepted
at an artistic level. Now a lot of publishers, and for the most part the
Net, is branching out into new territory, so it is becoming easier for
creative photographers to get their work seen.
Recently
I discovered digital photography and the digital darkroom. I now produce
80% of my work this way, although digital still has a long way to go. So
I always have my trusty 35 mm just in case." |
