feature: visual artist benjamin ackermann unapologetically glorifies the human form with sensual photography (nsfw)

July 22, 2016

Ackermann’s photographs are undeniably erotic. From the steely, uber-confident gazes of his models piercing the lens to the exposed shapely bodies contorting and posing, unapologetically embracing the realness of the moment. Intimacy is certainly a theme that runs throughout his images and theirs something almost voyeuristic about them. His portfolio features even more blatant allusions to sexuality. “To me, the human body is the most beautiful thing to observe and interact with. I think it’s strange that bodies are the one thing everyone has and at the same time a major source of shame or embarrassment for most people,” Ackermann told Gayletter.
