About Torrid Art

Torrid Art is a showcase for the work of erotic photographer Ryder Aedan Perry. We produce all the photo sessions for the site, and the photos are 100% original.

We are a small group of dedicated professionals who prefer to work within our means and stay with what we are good at. Torrid Art does not have videos simply for the sake of having videos. We have a photographer we think very highly of, and we have rallied around him to produce this website.

Torrid Art first went online in January, 2007. The site you see is the third version. It continues to grow and evolve.

The erotic photography of Torrid Art

We believe that erotic photography can be much more than merely photos of female flesh. Ryder relies on his years of experience in photography, lighting and working with models to produce beautiful, interesting and intimate photographs.

One of Ryder's goals is to produce "honest" photographs - in other words, without heavy glamour or retouching (airbrushing). The theme of the galleries is often referred to as "girl next door." The look is every-day and casual. We do not use "play" wardrobe, like "sexy nurse." But that theme does not preclude the executive/secretary look, nylons or a little black dress. Those looks may be part of the "girl next door's" everyday work attire, or a night out on the town.

An important part of an erotic photograph is the emotional content. Ryder strives for real, or honest, emotions, expressions and body language. These act to reduce the distance between the subject and viewer and make the photos more intimate.

We believe that photos taken in real locations are much more erotic than photos taken in sterile studios with bare studio backdrops. We usually use real homes that people live in for our locations.

We believe in variety. Within limits, we strive for variety in race, age and body types.

The photo galleries start with the model fully clothed. She undresses, teases and shows herself to the viewer. The models are fully naked for many photos.
