Alexander Stingl - Women - 2014

A cropped view of a bent hip, its contour forming new shapes in interaction with the background. A smoking woman seated cross-legged, a lascivious, self-assured gaze at the camera. A catlike, graceful ballerina, on whose skin light and shadow contrast. It is not the bodies of breathtaking women alone that draw you in: the boundaries between nude, fashion, and classical portrait photography are fluid in Alexander Stingl's work; erotica, sense of style, and movement form a harmonious whole. Moreover, the model and the surroundings are always in a tension-filled relationship, which casually reveals the photographer's assured artistic expression. For the first time, Alexander Stingl presents his erotic female portraits from the last thirty years in this volume. In the gallery there are only a few images from the interior of the book.
