If Ellen Von Unswerth is a master of capturing women’s innate sensuality from a feminine, often playful but not so innocent perspective, Steven Klein is equally adept at expressing the raw, carnal nature of sexual desire in strong, Amazonian, independent women.

Unlike so many male photographers who either don’t grasp the power of intense sexuality in women who own their bodies, or who feel a need to reduce it — like Terry Richardson — Steven Klein consistently walks into the lion’s den, when the focus is female sexual power.

Steven Klein’s latest victim is the hardly powerless Danish model, film director and bisexual Rie Rasmussen. The Fashion Time Magazine sums up the mood as well as we can: ‘Oh, that lascivious Rie and her salacious role playing: she prances, she emotes, she acts, she decadently yearns, burns and churns for passionate love, voyeur hedonist style.’
