5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST have for your Erotic Photographic Collection, August 16, 2008
By

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flagrante Delicto (Hardcover)
My wife and I are very familiar with erotic art, and the wonderful work of Will Santillo. You see we are one of the "enthusiastic volunteers" who were lucky enough to have some of our photos from our private session with Santillo to be requested for the content of this book (p135, p140). So, you can believe it when you are told the other folks in this book are not professional models, they are everyday people from all over, some may even live next door to you. Most of us had never done something like this before ( well,..we hadn't!), and we are grateful to be included in such an amazing collection. The book allows a very intimate peek through the technical mastery and style of one of the finest erotic photographers around. If you have seen Santillo's work, you know what Im talking about. Each presentation is uniquely tantalizing. We would own a copy even if we weren't in it! It's a MUST have for Anyone's Erotic Collection! Frank & Kristin

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thrilling, Larger-than-Life Erotic Expose!, August 12, 2008
This review is from: Flagrante Delicto (Hardcover)
This new book of erotic photography from American/Canadian photographer Will Santillo is one of the genre's finest publications in many years .. in fact, it's one of the most perfect productions ever. 5 Stars are not enough. It's simply masterful! In both it's production and content. "Flagrante Delicto" (Latin for 'Caught in the Act') is a Limited Edition and will consist of only 1000 copies. It is a superb publication in every way, bound in hardcover, with gargantuan dimensions of 12x12.75". It's 156 pages contain 125 exquisite, tri-toned photographs. It is the first book of a planned three-volume production, called the "Risque Series".

The subjects in this work are all "enthusiastic volunteers" willing to share their intimate lives with Santillo. There are no actors or professional models. One of Santillo's stated goals in creating this work was to "manifest authentic instances of connection". These are real people involved in genuine relationships, and the sex is just as real. More than real, it is powerfully authentic. There are so many flavors and angles to this work that it would be overly simplistic to attempt a description. Suffice to say, Santillo thoroughly documents the sexual congress of couples, threesomes, and groups - even audiences' witnessing the action. There are elements of voyeurism, fetishism, homosexuality, sadomasochism, and many others, but the overriding focus here is powerful, grinding, uninhibited sex.

Taken as a whole, this would be an extraordinary work even if the photographs were simple snapshots. But Santillo takes this project to another level through the sheer power of his own artistry. His panache for capturing sexual energy is breathtaking. It's sexual mayhem in all it's terrifying glory. Thrusting, grunting, screaming. Santillo's style is absolutely commanding and all one can do is surrender to it.

"Flagrante Delicto" is the work of a modern master working at the height of his powers. It would stand as a fitting climax in the career of most art photographers. That two more works are due to come from this body of work is astounding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flagrante Delicto, August 12, 2008
This review is from: Flagrante Delicto (Hardcover)
From one of my readers:

"In 'Flagrante Delicto', Will Santillo masterfully captures the passions of real couples engaging in the most realistic of interactions with hot, but artistic depictions ranging from bareback vanilla couple sex to the forbidden juicy fruits of bi-threesomes, fetishes & group scenes. A tasteful coffee table book and conversation piece guaranteed to get a reaction out of your most frigid Auntie. One can almost smell the essence of sex emanating from the pages. A book you should actually read in bed with your lover, preferably with one hand underneath the sheets.... if it was not such a lovely and sensual BIG book!!"
