Clint Robert is a film photographer who does lots of lingerie advertising/campaign shoots and many other intimate shoots, with a focus on the female form, often nude. There is a lot of play with absence/presence, only hints to certain female body parts, as they are often obscured in some way. There is an element of censorship to that part of the work that can be inferred. These photos are seductive and moody with golden tones, the models are often very expressive. A lot of these photos can be like cinematic stills to me, while others are not at all. He prefers to shoot at sunrise in fairly natural light.
