Roy Stuart
Photography Appreciation
Born on October 25, 1962, in the Upper West Side of New York, contemporary art and fashion photographer and filmmaker Roy Stuart is best known his erotic works that captures sexuality in BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, and submission).
Stuart started his career as an actor playing a small role in The Godfather Part II before moving overseas to London then Paris to become a fashion photographer.
When asked in an interview why he turned to eroticism, he replied, "300 years ago, artists had to work for the Church if they wanted to express themselves. Today, it's the same with photographers who work in fashion."
He further argued, in the interview, what defines a girl being pretty or liking sex, "The idea that a girl, to be pretty, does not need to shave, to be too made up or too well styled. Or that the notion that women do not like sex is false."
In a different article, he stated that Americans are more consumer-oriented than French who appreciate women more, "In America, it's more consumerist, money-oriented... Americans are going further from the body, escaping more and more from the body."
But his idea as presented in an interview, he's approached with the question by a young model standing over a room full of erotic photos if he treats women like freaks. He responded, "... If you want a heavy take on my impressions of 'panty bandit.' To me, I just saw it as a strange and diabolical metaphor for the power of women over men. A man goes out into the street and waits for a woman to pass, just to catch a glimpse, a few centimeters, of her pubic hair, and then leaves."
