"I’m attracted by the mysterious eroticism lying in the shadows of a woman’s charme." - Paul Artemis in conversation with Thomas Berlin.
Paul is an Italian photographer based in London. He works for Playboy, Penthouse, Maxim, Altar and other magazines. We talked about how his philosophical beliefs influence his photography and what he wants to achieve with his sometimes provocative images.

The human representation is my photographic focus. This can affect people in everyday situations as well as portraits. I don't differentiate my portraits based on whether my models are clothed or not. The portrayal of nudity has delighted humanity for millennia and is also a source of joy for me.
I work both analog and digital, depending on my task and mood. The technique is not a dogma. In general I give priority to the physical presence of a signed print over a digital image.
Even if a picture itself does not tell a story, it can be the starting point of a story in the recipients head. I hope you find in my galleries at least one picture that can be the starting point of your own story.
In addition to my own photography, I talk a lot with other people in the photography scene. I publish particularly interesting conversations with photographers, models and others on my blog thomasberlin.net/blog
