Eric Kroll: Collecting and Photographing Fetish
Posted at 12:05 PM Jun 09, 2008
Fetish photographer Eric Kroll is nothing short of a legend. His 1994 Taschen book "Fetish Girls" sold 200,000 copies and got a lot of people curious about the world of fetish erotica. But Eric isn't just a photographer, he's also a self-proclaimed obsessive collector. His collection of the erotic photography of Weegee and Elmer Batters is on display next to his own work at the Anna Kustera Gallery in Chelsea through July 3rd.
Naked City TV got a peek at the pieces on display in Chelsea, where Eric revealed what compels him to collect certain images. The photographer also spins a few tales about both his work and the stuff he collects, and talks about how he feels about explicit porn.
Last but not least: the lovely lady you see cavorting in the background is Molly D'Amour, a performer and model from Los Angeles.

This guys ego is enormous. I hear he treats his ftiends like shit and walks all over people.

Eric's photos reek of reality, like the
stale rubber smell of last nights sex toys. Some confuse his id with ego, but
pseudo psychologists critics are more prevalent than illegal immigrants in trendy kitchens. I don't think he walks on people as much as he thinks he walks on water. The man is a phototrix par excellence and could suck the sorrow off
a recent widow if he photographed her in
a hiked up wedding dress.

Kroll is brilliant. It's rare to find a fetish photographer whose sense of humor epitomizes his work.
