Publisher's Synopsis
"Fetish fashion" is the term used to describe the intrinsic link between clothing and sexual fetishes, with materials like leather, lace, latex, and rubber holding particular prominence. Today, leather fetishwear is worn by leathermen in sex clubs, parties, Pride parades and hook-ups, but some incorporate leather into their everyday lives, too. Common clothes and accessories include leather trousers, boots, jackets, gloves, ties and caps, with harnesses, masks and jockstraps more often worn during sexual encounters. Over 100 photos realized in LIGHT PAINTING, a photography technique that uses a moving light source (e.g., a flashlight) to add light to a subject while taking a long-exposure photograph. A scene or object can be brought to life by painting with a beam of light. When light painting, the photographer, become an entirely different kind of artist. Instead of just capturing an image as it's presented, he create the image that the camera is capturing. Alberto de Chirico (photographer well known also as Demian Savinio) is the alter ego of Domiziano Cristopharo, the internationally acclaimed actor and movie director who came to prominence with movies like "House of Flesh Mannequins" (Los Angeles, 2008) or "Red Krokodil" (USA/Italy 2012). de Chirico's fine art photography has been the subject of CD covers, film posters, and exhibitions, as well as much-sought-after art residing in significant private collections.
