About Joël Bloch

I was born in 1975 and started photography in the early 2000s. I soon focused on nude photography, for which I felt the fascination of something forbidden, erotic – since to me every nude photograph includes
a part of erotism – and for the need to express my inner sensibility.
I started taking graphical and sensual photos that hide as much as they show.
Today I live in Paris, France, but I have spent a few years abroad, in the Philippines and in Ukraine. There, I progressively evolved to more erotic and kinkier staging, playing with humor and creativity: I
need to laugh and to make people laugh with words or images. The photographers that inspired me the most are Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and today’s Ellen Von Unworth.
