Liquid X-Tasy by Jim Fredlund
Text in English & German. As a photographer, the challenge is in capturing the very moment that a fluid substance interacts with the body in a way that will take the viewer on a sensual adventure, inviting not only to their visual sense but also invoking sensations of touch, taste, and imagination. When successful, the result is a unique moment frozen in time, never to be repeated. The result is photographic imagery that is sensual, provocative and erotic. Living close to Washington DC, Jim spent many years photographing landscapes, monuments, masonry and still lifes, and his stunning images have adorned the offices of doctors, lawyers and dentists. It was not until his daughter requested Jim capture a few maternity images for her that he turned his sights to portrait photography. With this new found passion, Jim completely immersed himself in the study of lighting, posing, and the business of photography, and soon found himself perfecting what was quickly becoming his specialised genre, the fine art nude. Always striving to aim higher, to always improve, and, yes, to push the envelope even further. When asked to pick his best image, Jim says "the best is yet to come".
