Dramatic, sensational and incredibly captivating, this black and white photo series by Frank Loschke is unlike any seen before. Ordered like a film reel, the photos tell an evocative story that dramatizes a situation between a man and a woman that most are familiar with, either in reality or in fantasy. Löschke is a photographer based out of Hamburg, Germany, but his photographs are inspired by a story that crosses borders from Europe to the Americas. Starting with the romantic walk home, the photos follow this seductive couple from the streets to the bedroom.

**Implications** - The power of sexual imagery to generate public buzz and consumerism in art, photography, fashion or advertising is undeniable. Art is one of a few forms where this imagery is not just appreciated, but sought after by the public, who are sexually restricted by societal norms.
