Constance & Eric are a married couple from Brooklyn who have carved a niche and figured out how to make a living taking pictures of people having sex. Blurring the lines between high art and commercial photography, the duo have photographed over 140 couples. Beginning the project out of disappointment in the way commercial photography generally treats bodies and sex, the couple came up with their own parameters for “sexy.” Disenchanted, as many of us are, by the narrow definition advertising and media give to the term, Constance and Eric decided to pursue a visual journey through the erotic and corporeal.
Subtle in their abstraction, the duo’s photographs transcend pornography or explicit imagery and become mere suggestions of the actual act. But there is a sensual nature to the images that feels incredibly personal, even if a viewer can’t actually discern what precisely he is looking at. In an interview with Nerve, Constance said, “The abstract images help create more of a feeling of the moment. It enables the viewer to put themselves in the image without the distraction of recognizable features.”
In an interview with Huffington Post Constance and Eric said that the part of their job they enjoy the most is “Showing people how beautiful they are together.” Check out their website, and if you’re brave enough, grab your significant other and contact them for a session. (via HuffPost & Nerve)
