...das Hineinfühlen in ein Motiv, die Übersetzung der Seele eines Augenblicks in Licht und Komposition, das Beginnen und Illustrieren von erotischen Geschichten, das Erforschen der Spielarten der Lust - künstlerische Entwürfe eines ganz eigenen Erotikideals - Kerry Tracy unternimmt den Versuch, dem weiblichen Element in der Erotik ganz nahe zu kommen und gehört dabei zu jenen Fotografen, denen dies gelingt. Seine Aufnahmen sind von fast dokumentarischer Schärfe und Klarheit, aber auch geprägt von der leidenschaftlichen Fantasie des Künstlers. Sein Gespür für den treffendsten Augenblick schafft fotografische Lyrik - meisterhaft ausgeführte Psalmen an die Liebe, die es vermögen, uns in Versuchung zu führen...

The scope of my photographic work spands about 15 years. The images I produce begin as deep fantasies. "I'm a voyuer at heart." Sex to me, is something that should be experimented with, indulged in. Capturing a feeling of women enjoying their bodies, as well as the men enjoying them also, gives me great satisfaction.

    A fantasy should be dream like. Dark, yet diffused. I shoot a large amount of my work with high grain, then add in diffusion to give it a surreal illusion. My models tend to be normal everyday women. No professional models. Not that I wouldn't work with them. Just that the images that I'm trying to convey needs to have women who are less then perfect. Women who have had children or who may have small breast, or a few more curves then other women do.

  The models I work with are very comfortable with their sexuality. They know how to show it on film. They are also comfortable with the men we choose to work with them.

 My newest work involves women who are pregnant and who are breast feeding. Not to mention the husbands or boyfriends who also find them a sexual turn on. Many men find pregnant women and nursing mothers sexually attractive. It's my hope that I can convey this to everyone who sees my work.
