Michael Rosen has published his fifth photo book, “Vanilla Sex: Explicit Fine Art Photographs,” as a PDF for free download here.

“This PDF is a reprise of a 2005 show at the Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco. It’s my latest and best work. For me, “vanilla” means the spectrum of our community’s sexuality; what we normally do. So, some photographs are of acts generally considered normal and standard (missionary position sex, for example), while others are of acts considered normal and standard only within the radical sex community. The 53 photographs are soft and romantic images of explicit sex that challenge the banality of pornography. And, check out the introduction by the preeminent photography critic, A.D. Coleman.”

I like how Michael captures the energy and the connection of the people in these images. A. D. Coleman’s introduction is also a good read. Michael’s other books are Sexual Art, Sexual Magic, Sexual Portraits and Lust and Romance. I own two of his books and one of his fine art prints.

Michael is always looking for people to photograph - individuals, couples and groups - for a variety of sexually oriented projects. He can pay and/or trade. He’s in the San Francisco area. Email him if you are interested.
