My latest book Life of an Exotic Entertainment Photographer should be published with Amazon in about two weeks.
Life of an Exotic Entertainment Photographer is all mine. I am the author. I shot the pictures for both the front and rear covers of the book.
The model on the front cover was just 21 when she drove with me to Providence Rhode Island as my photographer assistant while covering a Pure Talent Feature Showcase at Club Fantasies. I could always get the best pictures of her. She was one of the best dancers at Platinum Club. And not just that. She was sharp, and we got to know each other quite well.
The back cover girl for Life of an Exotic Entertainment Photographer was a very beautiful model as well. But you can hardly see her image on the book’s back cover as I deliberately dimmed it down. In my opinion this not only further enhances the cover. It also makes a point. You can’t quite see her. So you have no clue what she’s all about. But you will find out a lot about her when you read the book. But I don’t want to give away too much here other than to say the woman is one of the smartest women I’ve ever met. And not just smart, but so much fun to be with that I would have to put her at the very top of the class.
And that’s what the book is about. It’s about the real people behind the personas that the public sees.
The entertainers I write about were some of the best friends I ever had. And it’s because I was an exotic entertainment photographer that I got to know them so well. Some of them wrote poetry. While others were sharp as a tack when it came to learning about computers.
Those who read Life of an Exotic Entertainment Photographer will wind up having a very positive impression of the top strip club owners and managers. Who will dispel the preconceived notions the general public has of them as being shady operators selling porn and sex.
As an Exotic Entertainment Photographer I got to be good friends with a lot of very creative high powered people
who helped me become a better writer, a better photographer, and so much better at graphics arts design than I would have ever been. Had it not been for my close association with the movers and shakers of the adult entertainment world.
So as I started out saying in the first paragraph, this book is all mine. The two models were great friends of mine. I did the book covers myself. And the typesetting, page layout, and so on. The only thing I’ve not done is the final editing which I am leaving with Jeremy McTeague who was my editor while I was writing for Xtreme Magazine. Which is a magazine most of you have never heard about. But after it went full glossy, the quality of Xtreme wouldn’t take a back seat to even a Playboy. Because Xtreme’s graphics arts designers were equal to the best in the industry. It is people like them I owe so much to for setting the performance bar so high for me.
