He is always looking for new forms of expression; always happy to follow wherever his camera takes him… Adebonojo’s works are the results of a journey.

Within the last few years however my camera and I have been seduce by photography of nude forms in various...

Hey, Lotus. I think my twists could use some tightenin’ up. Can you hook me up? Yeah, Masai. But not here, in the other room. You feel me? Yeah… I feel you… Early in the morning, in that room (you know… the one in the back where all of the stuff you don’t throw away is put because you don’t know what to do with it) earthSista Lotus began to carefully twist the strands of hair of the new earthBrotha Masai. The dawning sun pierced the blinds of the windows that had no curtains painting streaks of lights on the couch, the couple and collection of drawings and sketches...

“Roommates” It was an erotic story I wrote last Spring, When I sat down with Nala and remy the ECCENTRICsoul to plan our shoot, we decided to build a visual concept around my story. We were going to take an artistic interpretation the story with me as a writer toiling away with the story, Nala as my manifested imagination, and Remy behind the lens being the “eyes” of the male character by creating a series of dramatic images.  However, it ended up being more of a celebration of our diverse and natural Black beauty. The contrast of our lovely natural crowns, the shades of our brown...

Several months ago Scottie Lowe shared her AfroerotiK romance, At Last. And we were so inspired by this creation that several of us worked together to create captures that visually imagined her prose. Moments in her story like… “He could whisper in my ear, telling me all the things he wanted to do to me, describing his fantasies about me in poetic, glorious detail and I would melt.” and… “Instinctively, I pushed back, grinding the soft, full curves of my ass against him, leaning my body back and luxuriating in his hands caressing my waist and his nibbles to my earlobe....

EclecticAlexandria Self-portrait photography is one of the many avenues by which I express myself. My captures are of but not limited to a candid, personal, and sensual blend. I currently photograph with a Fujifilm Finepix z70. I edit with whatever free photo editing software is available. My favorite is Photoscape. When I went natural at the age of 17 in ‘05, it was a celebration of self-love. Before this public declaration to the world I was a self-conscious, and low self-esteem harboring girl. Seeing myself in the natural state took but a short time to get used to. I immediately became...

by SepiaAngel On Sunday, September 26, I battled busy Tampa traffic to get to this photo shoot. I knew that I was ready, but this particular shoot was everything that I didn’t imagine in a good way. Little did I know that this was going to start my manifestation and liberation with a tall, brilliant, humorous man by the name of remy the ECCENTRICsoul. One of the personal struggles that I had going into the shoot was not being blunt about my own sensuality and sexuality. Ironically, I write about these things in my short stories and poetry, but couldn’t be truthful about my own. I listened...

By Makeda Voletta “Fecundity-defined as fruitful in offspring or vegetation- is generally interchangeable with fertility. It is used to illustrate those concepts that apply to the natural world beyond human societies. This is of course, an artificial distinction because indigenous peoples concerns with fertility were inextricably linked with the fecundity of the earth, plants ans animals. Many cultures perceived a connection between human sexuality and plant plant and animal fertility, and through sympathetic magic and rituals related to sex, they invoked supernatural power in guaranteeing...
