I am – ASHKAN SAHIHI: Artist of the Week

ASHKAN SAHIHI has some been doing some interesting work with that camera of his. I first found his work because of his WOMEN OF THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES photo series, in my search for more Jewish content. But upon further perusal I found so much more. Ashkan has a portrait series on his site of his models in in front of a boring kmart backdrop fully clothed, the catch they have cum on their faces. Right before the photo was taken each model had his/her male partner to come on their face. But this isn’t porn, its art, so feel free to look all you want.

Cum Shot Series

Village Voice:
For a weirdly compelling portrait series titled “Cum Shots,” Sahihi asked his male and female sitters to bring along a male partner to ejaculate on their face just before the photo was taken. Because the subjects are seated fully clothed before a neutral studio backdrop, the results buzz with the tension between formality and abandon. Confronting the camera with semen splattered across their cheeks, each of these people has an odd post-coital glow–a flush of ebbing excitement that leaves them emotionally, totally naked.
