Summary: My images
Review: "I have always found it incredibly difficult to talk about my work and ideas. I suppose a lot of what I do is instinctual and therefore is not easily translated into words. So I have adopted as my own the words of Anais Nin, 'We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.'"

Summary: Dark erotic images of one of the most unique photographers
Review: : John Santerineross, One of today's most unique photographers debuts his dark, erotic images in this much-anticipated first monographic book, Fruit of the Secret God. "His images may make us uneasy. His statements of vulnerability, isolation, and confinement, turn us inward. He beckons us to candidly respond to and converse with parts of ourselves considered outside the realm of polite conversation. He is speaking to the universal, yet highly personal corners of our psyches. Come and see where his vision takes you."

Summary: SANTINEROSS RUNS RAMPANT WITH ORIGINALITY
Review: As an erotic photographer myself, I dont see too many of my peers whose work Id cross the street to see. Or whose work I would say even "moves me". But for Santineross Id run across the street. His haunting images that showcase femalians wrapped in gauze or naked and clothed merely with angels names written upon them, are really some of the the most original images Ive seen of late. You cant really put his art in a "slot" which is what makes people shy away from some artists and I think this is one of the things that will hurt Santineross in the long run as they will try and slot him in with Witkin. His stuff is really more erotic and more glamourously beautiful than Witkins imagery. Give this book a chance. Youll be happier for it.

Review: before my friend pratically made me buy this book, i had never really understood or appreciated visual art. it didn't do anything for me. but after i discovered this book, that changed. his pieces made me feel something, offering me a glimpse into what must be an infinitely complex and talented individual. they made me think about a lot of things, like what constutites beauty and sensuality and power. some of his pieces still make me catch my breath and i feel a sense of awe.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: Everytime I look at these images I see and feel something new. It is very easy to look at a particular image and feel as if you are a part of it, as if your own emotions have created the visual. There is nothing simple about this book, so sit back and prepare yourself for something very intriuging, a book that you will still be thinking about long after you have closed the cover.

Summary: Enter if you dare...and be welcome.
Review: John expertly shows his ability to turn the most mundane of objects into an absolute feast for the senses. With anything from baby dolls to birdcages, fruit to frogs, coffee tables to coffins; he paints a picture that is at times both unsettling and comforting. It brings to the forefront of our minds the dark thoughts and fears that lay within each person upon this planet. However, it also shows in tasteful elegance that such is the way we are all made and there is always a desire for what is considered "forbidden". Victoria's poetry adds to the ambiance and effect by providing a written "map" in this journey of the soul. It was my honor and pleasure to read this book and I hope for and expect many more visits to this magical place, compliments of this duo.
