Arni

Sometime last year I happened upon a site showcasing the work of several Russian photographers with a strong emphasis, subject-wise, on black-and-white nudes. I found the galleries of one of these photographers, identified only as A. Arni, particularly striking…

'Winter', by A. Arni.

I’d since misplaced the bookmark, but, after a half-hour or so’s search this morning, was pleased to find the site still there. Arni’s photographic narrations combine the erotic and the ironic in a stylised, theatrical setting.

Gorgeous. Stunning. I love your site. I've been visiting on an off for about a year. You always have something compelling to offer that I can't find anywhere else. Thank you for existing. You make my world a more varied and enlightening place.

You hit the nail right on the head: erotic and ironic at the same time. Very compelling.
