Wild Skin |
|
| In Hollywood, it seems, young and willing women stand on line to let Carlos Batts shoot photos of them in his idiosyncratic, eccentric manner. At his studio in Los Angeles, Batts transforms them into fetish divas and goddesses of lust. A few well-known porno performers also number among his models. The result is a multidimensional and unprecedented mosaic of crazily erotic photos. This is a book that every collector simply must have in his collection. (SCREW, USA) In "Wild Skin," Batts unites every conceivable form of feminine lust: gigantic silicon-implanted breasts, shaven, pierced, tattooed women. This intoxicating collection of photos shows us that a photographer can also be a true artist. (HUSTLER, USA) Carlos Batts's book also contains freaky and eccentric photographs for aficionados of foot eroticism, garters and sheer stockings. This and much more awaits the reader in a book that's guaranteed to raise one's pulse rate! (LEGWORLD, USA) When was the last time that you held a large-format book in your hands, a book that boasts a generous collection of sexy legs and feet? Attention men: your long wait has finally come to an end! (LEGSEX, USA) Carlos Batts flirts with widely different photographic styles. The combination of bondage, masks and metal in many of his photos is unnerving and fascinating. The multicultural backgrounds of the women in these photos make Carlos Batts's book into an impressive and refreshing highlight, a genuine "United Nations" of feminine forms. And that's what immediately convinced us! (SKIN TWO, England) Do you like wild, uninhibited, erotic, extravagant, crazy photography? Then come along and "take a walk on the wild skin!" "Wild Skin" is consummate "literary photography." It transports us to ingenious worlds and into fantasies that are full of charm and wildness. Girl slaves of lust, masked demons, tattooed sex goddesses dish out new and erotic surprises on page after thrilling page. (DISCIPLINE, France) Direct, wild and erotic photographs. A wide variety of different types of women make this volume of photos an unforgettable experience. (GENEREUX, France) Just 26 years old and blessed with an extraordinary talent: that's American photographer Carlos Batts. He plays with light, colors and forms like a virtuoso. It's very impressive to see him succeed, time and time again, in finding new and surprising erotic ideas. It's also impressive to witness the ways in which he consciously and matter-of-factly integrates pornographic elements into this compositions. Welcome to the erotic photography of the Third Millennium! (UNION, France) |
