"All these years I have admired your work, not realizing you evoke and come from feelings levels deep in the sensory worlds of belief, non-belief, exploration, and realizations beyond 'what is there'! There are responsibilities to have in this field of endeavor you move with like a mysterious and serious seer. . .
Bless you, I do." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 1/18/19
Erotic Glamour Art, Fetish and Nature Nude Photos from World Renown Photographer Ken Marcus of Hollywood, California, USA
We are ringing out January gloriously courtesy of 12 Glamour Art, Fetish and Nature Nude images from Hollywood, California Photographer Ken Marcus.
Ken has for over 30 years been producing award-winning photographs of the world’s most beautiful women.
Perhaps you were at one of his seminars? Through the years, Ken has given back by conducting hundreds of workshops, seminars and lectures on the fine art of glamour and nude photography and has instructed thousands of photographers throughout in the US, Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America.
His work runs the full spectrum on into beautifully well done erotic fetish photos, some samples of which are included here.
Ken’s works have been featured world-wide and are regularly to be found in the finest Galleries, Museums, Magazines and Books.
Ken’s first interests in photography began by age 5.
By age 12, Ken was the youngest student studying under Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park.
You can see Ansel’s influence in a number of Ken’s Black and White Yosemite figure studies. More on Yosemite later…

When Ken hit 23, Ken his interests shifted from nature to au natural, nudes that is…
Yay!
Many of us began to see Ken’s work at this time as he began shooting for Bob Guccione’s Penthouse Magazine as their first American photographer.
Three years later he was the main centerfold photographer for Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Magazine.
While working with Playboy, Ken produced hundreds of glamour editorials, calendars, covers and Playmate layouts.
After 11 years shoot for the ‘Big Bunny’, Ken was again shooting for Penthouse.
For the next 10 years, he shot editorials and covers as well for Muscle & Fitness Magazine where he photographed some of the world’s top bodybuilders and fitness models.

Very busy during this time, Ken was selected as the ‘Artist in Residence’ at the Yosemite National Park Museum where his Nudes in Nature series still exists as part of their permanent photographic collection and some examples of which we are viewing here today.
Ken is currently involved in shooting and producing images for his website.
His most recent works revolve around themes of bondage, fetish and other erotic situations.
He is now most interested in working with erotic models, ballet dancers, contortionists, body builders, performance artists, athletes and others that involved in body modification, artistic self-expression and/or alternative lifestyles… Still my hero.
