Hi Jorge, the portraits on your website look great, I love them, and there are many strong editorial and commercial pieces too, but I agree with you that none of the works can be considered erotic. It's rare to find a portfolio at least half of which contains nudes that doesn't dwell, at least in part, on eroticism and sensuality, and in which the photographer is almost invisible. Congratulations on such a dispassionate and clearly articulated photographic imagination.

I'm more on the sensual side, but occasionally some folks find some images erotic.  Subjective I know.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

I love this one, https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27813824 (18+) beautiful curves and gorgeous classical figure, it's nicely composed too. I almost listed it but the post work just above her right buttock seems a little casual and I think the shot would have also benefitted from softer lighting and more fill to light her hair and the background. Very nice shot all the same.

Your models have beautiful long hair, full of sensual and erotic promise, but I think your gallery at present hasn't really exploited it to it's full potential and so doesn't quite have the kind of thing I'm looking for. Thanks anyway for playing.

Check it out.

Wow, that's a wonderful dark, intense, and very foreboding gallery of work. Scary! You're making a very clear and powerful thematic statement with these. I loved this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32335220 but overall it's just a little too dark for my idea of erotica. It reminds me of something out of Rodin's The Gates of Hell. It's beautiful and creative work. And I could see it hanging in a confessional. Or in a bdsm dungeon. But not in my living room. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Solus for your very kind words.

Erotica is in the eye of the beholder, have a look...

Any profile that begins with "I would like to thank the models I work with. You make me look great!" has got to be worth close inspection. Sure enough, this one has 'sex' written all over it in a perfectly understated way https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32856532 (18+) and has been listed accordingly. Cheers, thanks for playing.

I love the range of your work and your expressive figure. I don't agree there's nothing erotic in your gallery. This one, https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25596236 (18+) with legs nonchalantly spread, your feet almost moving, the hair wiped back off your face, the bedroom eyes, the bedroom setting, does it for me. Looks so natural and that's always winner in my book. Fabulous shot, listed.

Thank you for the comment and feedback.  I use film and make traditional prints.  Admittedly I do not do a lot of post work for the web, but I do want them to read well on a screen.  Thank you for pointing that out.  Perhaps I should do a little more along those lines.

Yes, this one, https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/207919 (18) good picture with beautiful model, her wonderful charm carries the day, cheers, Mike.

Interesting and memorable work Sir, but I agree with you, and they are not erotic to my eye either. Although they easily could be, and I'd love to see you trying a few, the models are young and classically beautiful and I think they would come out great. Best regards, Mike.

Well you have some very fine pictures and are stunningly beautiful too, I particularly loved the head and shoulders portrait https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32386558 (18+) which is truly superb, but none of them are quite the right erotic idea for this particular collection, and I see also you haven't listed 'erotic' as a genre in your profile either, so I suppose that may be why they haven't worked as such, but thanks anyway for playing, all the best, Mike.

Have a look. With what I consider erotic, I like to make a social statement. See what you think.

Almost, tantalisingly close in fact, but in the end I found them just a little too much on the 'glamour' side for my own personal taste. I also have an aversion to  any portfolio that shows a model wearing faux angel wings, so, perhaps unfairly, you were handicapped by my prejudice in that respect too. I thought the strongest straight-up all out erotic picture I saw from you was this one https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/p … 5#25232885 (18+) but I don't think it's in your gallery? Regards, Mike.
