Nobuyoshi Araki
Obsessed with women, and particularly their crotches, Araki's attitude toward women is routinely cited as a problem with his work. Some consider him a pornographer. His depiction of women smeared with paint or tied in bondage ropes reflects attitudes that are rooted in Edo's ancient past and Tokyo's modern sexual underworld, a world that he embraces. But, Araki has his fans, too, and they admire his "unflinching leer" and raw, sexual energy. No doubt, he plays the provocateur, and that is part of what makes his work distinctive. A prolific artist, he has published more than 350 books. Some of his most popular photography books are Sentimental Journey, Tokyo Lucky Hole, and Shino.

Intimate color photographs chronicle her life with her husband, mother and father, brother, grandparents and cousins. Carucci admits to being obsessed with her mother and with the passage of time. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002 and won the International Center of Photography’s Infinity Award for best young photographer in 2001.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)
Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and designer. After passing through phases of Cubism, Futurism and Metaphysical painting, he joined the Surrealists in 1929 and became the most famous representative of the movement. He described his pictures as `hand-painted dream photographs' and had certain favorite and recurring images, such as the human figure with half-open drawers protruding from it, burning giraffes, and watches bent and flowing as if made from melting wax. He also made the first Surrealist films in collaboration with Luis Buñuel — Un chien andalou in 1929, and L'Age d'Or in 1930. Later, he contributed a dream sequence to Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound in 1945. Dalí adopted a more traditional style in 1937, and began the transition to his "classic period". This shift and his open support of General Franco led the Surrealists to expel him. Dalí's late paintings combined elements of science, religion and history.

Frantisek Drtikol (1883-1961)
One of the most successful photographers of the late 1920s and early 1930s, who fell into obscurity after retiring from photography in the early 1930s. His compositions often involved geometric elements and thrown shadows. Drtikol's early nudes show clear influences of the Art Nouveau and Prague Symbolist styles. He photographed roughly from 1901 to 1931, and retired to devote himself to painting and philosophy.

H.R. Giger
Best known for his work on Alien, Hans Ruedi Giger is a Swiss painter, sculptor, and set designer. He refers to his style as "biomechanical." Most of his images combine the human body with machinery in a cold, highly stylized way. Much of it has fetishistic or erotic overtones, and is influenced by Surrealism. Giger met Dalí, and cites him as one of his main influences.

Nan Goldin
The best way to experience Nan Goldin's work is through her slide shows, which are meticulously assembled with sound tracks. Her photography is a record of her personal experiences and the people she is closest to. She says "My work originally came from the snapshot aesthetic . . . Snapshots are taken out of love and to remember people, places, and shared times. They're about creating a history by recording a history."

Bill Henson
Australian artist who photographs the fringes at twilight with a poetic and painterly eye. Some of his subject matter includes adolescents, and that has gotten him into trouble with the authorities. In a situation reminiscent of the Sturges case, several photographs from his May, 2008 show at the Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in Paddington, Sydney, Australia were seized by authorities. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd stated that he found the images "absolutely revolting" and that they had "no artistic merit." The New South Wales Department of Public Prosecutions quickly determined that no charges be laid, and the photos were declared "mild and justified" and given a PG rating by the Office of Film and Literature Classification. The photographs in question are apaparently naked portraits of teen-age girls and boys.

David Hilliard
" For years I have been actively documenting my life and the lives of those around me, recording events and attempting to create order in a sometimes chaotic world. While my photographs focus on the personal, the familiar and the simply ordinary, the work strikes a balance between autobiography and fiction. Within the photographs physical distance is often manipulated to represent emotional distance. The casual glances people share can take on a deeper significance, and what initially appears subjective and intimate is quite often a commentary on the larger contours of life."

Eikoh Hosoe

Pierre Molinier (1900-1976)
Photographer and painter, who created extraordinary erotic photo-collages, primarily using his own body as the basis for his images. His most elaborate works, inspired in part by Buddhist mandalas, have a kaleidoscopic effect. In his late fifties, Molinier became involved with the Surrealists, though Breton ultimately rejected him. In his sixties, he turned to erotic photographs, often featuring himself as female, that focused especially on images of black stockings. He was primarily a leg fetishist; the gender of the body connected to the leg did not matter as long as the leg was blackstockinged and hairless.  At age 75, in declining health, he committed suicide in 1976. He left a note in chalk on his door: "Je prends ma vie. La clef est avec le concierge." ("I'm taking my life. The key is with the concierge.")

Pre Raphaelites
English painters, poets, and critics, founded in 1848 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, John Everett Millais, Frederic George Stephens, Thomas Woolner and William Holman Hunt.

Bettina Rheims
Art, fashion, and advertising photographer. She is best known for her portraits of women, many of which are compiled in Female Trouble. She took the official portrait of president Jacques Chirac of France in 1995. Her most controversial and acclaimed works include I.N.R.I. (1997–98), made in collaboration with Serge Bramly. It portrays Christ in modern settings and its contemporary interpretations caused a scandal particularly in the Catholic Church. Her book Chambre Close, also made in collaboration with Bramly, is an international bestseller, that continues to be reprinted.

Paolo Roversi
Known for his elegant fashion photos and nudes shot with 8 x 10 Polaroid film, he favors window light. His interest in photography was sparked as a teen-ager. In his early 20s, he started working assignments for AP. His first assignment was the funeral of Ezra Pound. He met Peter Knapp, art director of Elle Magazine in 1971. He moved to Paris in 1973, after an invitation to visit from Knapp. The move triggered a gradual shift to fashion photography. In 1974 Roversi worked as an assistant to British photographer Lawrence Sackmann, where he learned "everything I needed to know in order to become a professional photographer." His first major fashion story was for Marie Claire, followed by a 1980 Christian Dior beauty campaign that brought him wider recognition.

John Singer Sargent (1856 -1925)
Most successful portrait painter of his time. His Portrait of Madame X is considered one of his best works. When it was unveiled at the 1884 Paris Salon, Sargent had painted his subject with one strap hanging off the shoulder,  which scandalized the Salon. He would later revise the painting. The negative reaction probably prompted Sargent to move to London.

Tom of Finland (1920-1991)
Fetish artist notable for his stylized homoerotic art and his influence on late twentieth century gay culture. The Village People appear to have taken much of their styling directly from his characters. The combination of cap, leather jacket, and moustache —a frequent theme in his illustrations — became a visual stereotype of gay men. A foundation in his name is dedicated to protecting, preserving and promoting erotic art.

Jeff Wall
Trained as an art historian, Jeff Wall creates large scale backlit photographic transparencies set in cases generally associated with advertising display; but instead of advertisements, Wall fills them with moments of everyday life that usually go unacknowledged. He is interested in constructing photographs that can be experienced on a human scale the way paintings are. "Great photographers have done it on the fly. It doesn’t happen that often. I just wasn’t interested in doing that. I didn’t want to spend my time running around trying to find an event that could be made into a picture that would be good."

Joel-Peter Witkin
He has pursued his interest in spirituality and how it impacts our physical world. Witkin  finds beauty within the grotesque and explores this complex issue through people most often cast aside by society — human spectacles including hermaphrodites, dwarfs, amputees, androgynes, carcases, people with odd physical capabilities, fetishists and "any living myth ... anyone bearing the wounds of Christ." His photographs consistently make references to the works of Picasso, Balthus, Goya, Velásquez, Miro, and others; a way of celebrating our history while redefining its present day context. Through his sometimes unsettling images, he seeks to dismantle preconceived notions about sexuality and physical beauty.
