25 Portraits of Queer French Fetishists

The Fetish Lyon association (representing fetish fans in France's third-largest city) reached out to photographer Eric Lanuit for a photo shoot during their last party.

Internationally acknowledged for his artworks on male body and portraiture, Eric Lanuit's photographs appear in numerous European and American magazines. He regularly shows his artworks in Paris, Lyon, and Los Angeles, and often participates to collective exhibitions.

"As I used to be into leather when I was younger, I've always stayed close to the fetish community. So I immediately said a big yes to the President of Fetish Lyon, and decided to do this photo shoot as a portrait session. It was obvious that each one will want the result in the next few days, so I chose a quite quick process to edit the images without betraying my usual artworks. Finally I'm happy that everyone loved their portrait. "

"Because fetishism is an important identity trait that extends well beyond a sexual kink, Fetish Lyon has been created to organize events where outfit-based fetichists of any kind can dress up and share a drink in non-sexual, fun, friendly and accepting surroundings.
