With his nude portraits, the Belgian Frank de Mulder is considered the successor to the great Helmut Newton: his pictures contain a peculiar tension and tell small stories.
The Belgian Frank de Mulder is one of the best-known representatives of upscale erotic photography. His nude portraits move in the tradition of Helmut Newton: aesthetic, stylish pictures, mostly in black and white, which are not primarily concerned with serving the viewer's voyeurism. Rather, de Mulder creates a special atmosphere in each picture and gives the scenes a crackling tension. He expresses his concept as follows: "An erotic picture should tell a story. The viewer has to believe what he sees in the picture. If I achieve that, I will be successful."
