Richard Avery // USA

Following in the footsteps of such legendary photographers as Helmut Newton and Chris Von Wagenheim, Richard Avery is one of the brightest, most gifted new stars to appear on the adult and erotic scene in over a decade. Although his style and abilities continue to evolve, Mr. Avery’s fresh approach to the use of models, lighting, camera angles, wardrobe and make-up, along with today’s most advanced digital imaging technologies, allow him to capture the beauty and seduction of the human form in the most artistic, erotic yet unexpected ways.

After first surfacing in New York in the mid 1990’s, Avery’s early photography was described as brilliant, innovative, imaginative, ageless and hip by both art and fashion critics the world over; bringing him instant commercial success as well as a growing reputation and legions of fans.

One such admirer, world-renowned adult entertainment icon and head of Ashton View Promotions, Juli Ashton, discovered Avery’s work during one of her many visits to New York and was able to arrange a meeting with the young artist. Ashton had initially been attracted by Richard’s remarkable fashion photography that always seemed to have an erotic twist and immediately sensed that the young artist’s future might lay in a slightly different, somewhat more provocative direction. Juli was excited when the opportunity to not only work with Richard, but to represent him, later presented itself,. In light of Avery’s recent film and photographic efforts, their relationship has flourished beyond their wildest expectations.

The partnership of Ashton and Avery lead to the creation of Juliland.com.   Contemporary, stylish, clean, sexy, nasty and most of all fun, Juliland.com has reinvented the genre of erotic media.   Photos, movies and podcasts have all be created or produced by Richard for the ever-evolving site.  

Today, Richard is based in Hollywood , but constantly travels the globe seeking and shooting new and established talent for his diverse film, web and publishing projects.   “My camera and I love the girls,” comments Richard following a particularly intense session,” and in return, it seems that the girls love me.”
