Tammy Sanborn's photos range from the sultry and seductive to innocent and playful. Together, they create a body of work featuring the full range of women's erotic expression. There are come hither glances to "catch me if you can" whimsy. One minute Sanborn's models are showing off, baring all in a brazen bid to get you to not look away, and the next they are simply luxuriating in their nudity, carefree, exotic, and ready for anything. Those who appreciate glamour will linger over the festive designs these women sport, their naturally beautiful bodies enhanced by all manner of glittering material. But it's the simple sexiness of her work that makes Sanborn shine. The raw, animalistic desire emanating from the core of these women, turning them into sex kittens intent on getting exactly what they want, surfaces on every page. They are inviting the viewer to look, and to touch, to enter the page and join them on their erotic journey. We are fortunate to live in an era when women don't have to put away that most powerful part of ourselves in order to claim our place in the world. Sanborn knows this, and taps into the unbridled power of female desire, the kind that wants to share its knowledge with a partner, but doesn't need to. These women know how to get off you can see it in their body language, in their cool stares but they want a lover (or several) to join them, whether in bed or the great outdoors
