Wild Skin

Presently living in Los Angeles Batts' admixture of cubist geometry, '70s exploitation themes, bizarre lighting techniques, a variety of textured backgrounds, slice and dice editing, and a keen eye for beauty, in its many forms have contributed to the piquancy and relevance of his work. Batts has helped to transform the fetish standard from a staid, complacent, silicone world to something much edgier -- avowedly modern and challenging. This book provides an engaging, at times quite revealing glimpse into the future of fetish photography and the state of art as it finds its place in the 21st century.
