Provocative Portfolios

Curtis Eberhardt Captures Sex Appeal in Disparate Photographs

— June 3, 2011 — Fashion
Curtis Eberhardt began his photography career while still a student at the University of Houston, where he took pictures of urban nightlife and street shots. After completing three years at the Art Institute of Chicago, Curtis Eberhardt earned a Master's in Painting at NYU. "I was most influenced by studying cinema and painting there," he said, "The Avant Garde cinema world was very strong there and I try to convey a cinematic vision in my photographic work.”

A look through Curtis Eberhardt's portfolio shows a photographer skilled at conveying unfettered sex appeal. His portfolio shows his versatility -- some shots are colorful and feature grungy clothes, while others are monochrome and feature regal hairstyles and clothing fit for a socialite.

Curtis Eberhardt's work has been featured by Allure, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. View his selected portfolio to see what these major magazines see in his work.
