Raphus

Erotic Artist that creates edgy high erotica, and edgy B&W Art. This sells to private collectors and art galleries world wide.
Anonymity is a must for all my models and myself, which makes my work specific. No full face is ever shown in my work, as it is close macro photo/video work.

My photography started way back in 1995, where I was working mainly on lingerie/Glamour/Portrait work.
When I moved to Europe, I started working on a lot more commercial work including Rally's, sailing regatta's and other advertising work.
Doing this I always had a love for the erotic side of photography, and extended this into nudes, and then into heavier erotic art. I started showing this art in galleries around Europe, where erotic art is more accepted. This then span off into my niche of anonymity, where all photos and video clips never show who the models are. This was a niche of mine that made my work more alluring and had a more intriguing edge to the art.

In 2010, I started using myself as a model in the photos, and it took some time to get the style right when taking photos of this nature.
Today, I shoot with female models that want to become part of an art project, and also be anonymous as I am.
As even today, I sell my art without people knowing I am in the art along with unknown female models.
This gives the 'Who is she?' which I get asked a lot when in galleries.
