PHOTOGRAPHY | GREG KING       WORDS | ANDREW KAISER

It was a serious career choice for a man who had become serious about the female form. "I'm drawn to eroticism. To me there's nothing more beautiful than a carefully constructed nude, where the subject appears in control, is bold and assertive."

Greg King works in London, a 24/7 three-ring circus. You miss the beat and like the last bus or the last tube you're left in the shadows. His photographs capture the same pulse, the same mood. There is a feeling in his images that there is something more, something else, something waiting just off the edges of the frame. It's as if he clicked the shutter an instant too soon and we stare at the image wondering what's going to happen next. Like a movie director, his shots hint at mystery, haunting but poetic, whetting the appetite and leaving us wanting more.

"I like to be challenged," he says. "I want the people who are interested in my work to always be surprised by what direction I take next."
