Nitke was born in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1950 and grew up in Virginia and Alaska. She is currently a fashion/art photographer, and is on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts 〔(SVA )〕 in New York. == Nitke and the porn business == Hailed by The Village Voice for her quest “to find humanity in marginal sex,” 〔(Village Voice )〕 Nitke has gained worldwide attention for her affecting and powerful photographs chronicling relationships between consenting adults engaged in sadomasochistic activities. Her documentation of sexuality began in 1982 on the sets of pornographic films, towards the end of the Golden Age of Porn.〔('Barbara Nitke: Porn's On Set Photographer' ), The Rialto Report, audio podcast interview with Barbara Nitke〕 She worked in the industry for twelve years as a set photographer on hundreds of adult films. Her photographs from this period reveal the combination of boredom, surrealism, vulnerability and dissociation inherent in the X-rated world.〔 During that time she also became active as a photographer on mainstream television and movie sets, work which she continues today. In 1991, after the hardcore porn business moved to Los Angeles, she began shooting on the New York sets of fetish and SM movies, which had become the fastest growing segment of the adult film industry.〔("Philosophy for Everyone: How to Think With Kink" by Roger T. Pipe )〕 Three years later she attended her first meeting of The Eulenspiegel Society, the oldest SM support and educational group in the country, to see a presentation by underground photographer Charles Gatewood. The couples she met in the SM scene fascinated her, and she began photographing them in 1994. They became the focus of her book, ''Kiss of Fire: A Romantic View of Sadomasochism'' (2003). It was among the first mainstream publications to examine the subject of BDSM.〔(“Exploring Myths of a Sexual Subculture” by Bob Keyes )〕 Nitke ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to produce her second book, ''Barbara Nitke: American Ecstasy'' (2012), a memoir in pictures and words of her hardcore porn days.〔(American Ecstasy on Kickstarter )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbara Nitke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
