WINNER
Jonathan Root
Already a successful commercial photographer with a kinky edge, Jonathan decided to enter the world of erotica, and is now planning an exhibition called Hookers, Strippers and Pornstars. He gives a freshness to erotic photography by combining 50's colours and humour with fetish, fashion, obesity, quirkiness, provocative textures and dramatic lighting. We found his photos joyful and very exciting.
