Gérard Musy’s Lustre Fetish Nights is an unprecedented new, elegant and refined black-and-white vision of the intimate, nocturnal world of fetish. Musy’s photographs hint at hidden truths and reveal mysterious dark scenes and intimate close-ups, often no more than fleeting fragmentary glimpses of erotic encounters, giving flight to the viewer’s imagination.

A long sleek leg encased in black silk stockings; a cinched and corseted waist, tightly laced; the glossy sheen of latex on velvety skin; a slender, extended foot in a stiletto. Musy’s images reflect the intimate perceptions of the photographer, who is not a mere detached observer but actually part of the scene and in some cases part of the photograph itself.

No fetish photographer has ever dared to approach his subject so closely and so seductively as Gérard Musy, all the while preserving the excitement and mystery of the moment. He remains true as always to the elegance and aesthetics of his classic yet unconventional photographic style, influenced by the glamour and refinement of his remarkable fashion work.
