Fetish Photographer Dirk Hooper Wins Award and Has Two Photos Chosen in Art Scene Today Exhibition

(I-Newswire) November 3, 2009 - OKLAHOMA CITY, November 3, 2009 – World-renowned fetish photographer Dirk Hooper had two pieces chosen for Art Scene Today’s “Erogenous Zones” international juried competition. The exhibition will be available for view on Art Scene Today’s website for the month of November and showcases erotic art from New York, Virginia, California, Colorado and Oklahoma, to places as far away as Hawaii and Germany.

Dirk Hooper’s photo “Pink Kitty” won a third place award in the “Erogenous Zones” exhibition and features Austin Texas professional dominatrix Mistress Kitty. The piece was culled from a series of fetish photos taken over a day-long session. “I really enjoyed working with Mistress Kitty and it’s great to just have one of our photos accepted into the show, but to have the piece win an award too is very exciting,” Hooper said.

Hooper’s second photo accepted into the show is “Inked” with Toxic Goddess Dame Lebeau. “Inked” has the distinction of being accepted into three different juried shows. The piece was also a part of the Individual Artist’s of Oklahoma “Biting the Apple” exhibition earlier this year and last month’s “Dirty Show 10.5” in Detroit Michigan. “I’m proud to share this accomplishment with Dame Lebeau. It’s so much fun to work with her that she makes my job very easy,” said Hooper.

“Erogenous Zones” will be available to view during the month of November at the Art Scene Today website located at artscenetoday.com. Dirk Hooper will be the featured artist for one week starting November 23rd which includes a large representation of the “Pink Kitty” photo, an artist’s statement, bio and a short interview available on the site. Shortly following the “Erogenous Zones” show the work of all participating artists will be published in an exhibition catalog.
