erotic photography
Many photographs from this era are damaged; Bellocq,
for instance, frequently scratched out the faces of his sitters
to obscure their identities. Some of his other sitters were
photographed wearing masks. Peter Marshall writes, "Even in the
relatively bohemian atmosphere of Carmel, California in the
1920s and 30s, Edward Weston had to photograph many of his
models without showing their faces, and some 75 years on, many
communities are less open about such things than Carmel was
then".
