FRANKFURT, DE—Ellen Stagg is one of this country's best-known photographers of the nude female body. Her interest in photography began in high school in 1994, and by her junior year in college, she'd already acquired an agent—but it wasn't until she met adult actress (and fetishist) Justine Joli in 2005 that Stagg realized that the subject she was most interested in shooting was eroticism. Through Joli, Stagg was able to connect to other women in the adult industry. Stagg found it easy to create nude art with these pros, and started staggstreet.com. This site brought clients such as Penthouse and Playboy, a documentary on IFC.com, art shows around the world and more.
Fast-forward to 2018, and Goliath Books has released Stagg's latest volume of sexy nude women, the Dirty Girl Collection, an even hotter follow-up to her 2010 coffee-table volume Stagg Street, both of which contain plenty of images of porn stars au naturel and in sexy lingerie. This latest offering contains 420 photographs in 320 pages shot over the past ten years, and once again features Justine Joli along with nearly 50 other adult stars like Heather Vandeven, Jelena Jensen and Charlotte Stokely.
"Stagg’s images showcase confident females who are wild and rampant in front of the camera," a Goliath spokesperson stated, "true to the traditional style of American erotic photography. An expression of freedom and liberty, attributes that burn inside of all us. Nothing is off-limits in this truly enticing, daring and provocative collection."
The volume was the recipient of the 2017 AltPorn Awards' award for Best Photography Book, and is currently available from Goliath Books here.
