Before you enter Barbara Nitke's online gallery, you must agree to a statement that you "are not offended by photographic depictions of the nude human form or of human sexuality." That's because Ms. Nitke, a respected photographer with a large following and twenty years of experience, pulls no punches with her work. Whether in stark black and white or absorbing color, each of her shots goes into explicit detail: Everything from the suggestion of a kiss to the aftermath of the sexual act-not to mention all the stuff in between-is represented. (There's a substantial section devoted to bondage in its various forms.)
The artist got her first exposure to sexual images through her ex-husband, who was a producer of porn films. So when Ms. Nitke took up photography, the subject matter seemed a natural fit. Indeed, some of her "American Ecstasy" series uses the adult film industry as its setting and inspiration: "Supergirls Do General Hospital, I" finds a half-clothed woman on a gurney (no doubt she'll soon be playing doctor); "Nina, Damian, and Henri" shows one actress getting ready for her close-up; another one gets a mouthful in "Blair Castle in Piggies." The gamut of human emotions, says Ms. Nitke, is what she's trying to capture. Sex, she explains, is that window into a person's soul.
Print prices range from $250 to $2,000. They can be purchased either by contacting the artist at barbara@barbaranitke.com or via her local gallery, Clampart (250 W. 27th St., New York, NY 10001; 646.230.0020, www.clampart.com).
