Im Hintergrund diffuse Farben, im Vordergrund perfekt photographierte Körper - der Fotokünstler John Running gewinnt auf diese Weise die vollständige Kontrolle über seine Modelle und über sein Schaffen. Dieser Mechanismus ist jedoch kein Ausdruck von Machtphantasien, kein Synonym für eine eher verkopfte Auffassung von erotischer Kunst, sondern die Fähigkeit und das Vermögen, die Entstehung eines Bildes nicht dem Zufall zu überlassen, sondern es getreu der eigenen Vorstellung zu erschaffen. Und genau darin ist John Running ein Meister seines Faches, der unsere Begeisterung mit zauberhaft erotischen Porträts zu erobern versteht. 

JOHN RUNNING’S STUDIO
My studio is located in a historic building in Downtown Flagstaff Arizona -  it is divided almost equally into shooting space and administrative and darkroom space –recently I started to work with a digital camera – and love it
It is a lovely place to work and a creative haven

ALBUM OF EROTICA
AN ALBUM OF EROTICA - ...a study of erotic play, a book in progress. Form, light, fantasy and suggestion lead the viewer to a place where imagination becomes engaged.
My work is a collaboration between photographer and model, a series of personal work done in the studio with fun and sexy props and experimental sets. An exploration of the changing faces of the model. Modify the props, transform the persona.
  Work or play? Photographer and model are both exhausted and rejuvenated by the
  process of creating the images. Each session evolves into its own dynamic...the
  magic of creative interaction, sometimes sending out for more film! More coffee!
  Delight in female form, no fear of womanhood, perfect freedom to play. In this magic
  place there is no struggle to control, it has been replaced with trust.
  

...So that is how these images are born. Work and play. Now it's your
turn.
