WILL SANTILLO

(1953 Onwards)

Born in New York, Will Santillo has had a varied photographic career to date. After several years of architectural photography, he decided to tip his toe into erotica as his main area of subject matter, and within a relatively short time, he has produced excellent work based on several personal and intimate projects.

His visual style is born out of old darkroom processes. These provide him with images that are vivid, luscious, passionate and atmospheric, with images that are unhibited without being totally explicit in content. He captures the moment, full of lingering, charged moods and memories which recall tender moments, sometimes taboo, but detailing aspects of human desire.

To date he has published two books. The first, Flagrante Delicto, captures the passion of real life couples engaging in realistic sexual couplings with hot artistic depictions.

The second one is La Petite Mort (published by Taschen April 2011) and captures the moment of a woman’s orgasm. As the French would say, ”the little death that suspends time and consumes a woman”. Each female would decide and direct how she masturbated to climax and allowed Santillo to photograph their climatic moment, whether they prefered to use their own hands, a shower head or some type of phallic toy. The project was conceived to include women of all ages and shapes, and Will Santillo wanted to reveal the diversity and creativity in this most private of moments. Each one's beauty is enhanced and we are drawn in by their raw unrepentant sexuality. This is more than what the woman next door gets up to and therefore La Petite Mort should not be missed, so check these out (Skin Two / Playboy (Spain) / Maxman (Portugal)).

Santillo has a legion of well wishers and potential clients waiting to be photographed by him. HIs site comes complete with several testimonials, for example; “Santillo brought out the most erotic side of me that I have not felt in a long time! I have never felt so empowered by him to be so sexual and confident and not be afraid to show it! Thank you for a wonderful time. I will do it again and again and again! - Lindsay”
