THE EROTICISM OF TREATS!
Steve Shaw's Celebration Of New-Age Nudity
Photographer Steve Shaw started a print and digital magazine Treats! for those images he could not get published as he shot for various magazines like Maxim, FHM and Esquire. Steve stated he became irritated with shooting restrictions such as “three quarters of a boob…..you can only show one inch down from the bum cheek.” We feel the same restraints here at PROVOKR in our curation and creation of photography, film, tv/streaming content, fashion and the arts. We believe all these limitations originated from social media’s rules. We and many others are forced to adhere to the new normal of social media’s censorship of the human body. We created our own brand to go past those restrictions without being pornographic. Steve Shaw created his own magazine that allows much more freedom for the model and photographer to celebrate nudity and art in the most elevated way.
Steve Shaw’s magazine, Treats!, is beautiful, edgy, erotic and has real fashion credibility in its use of top models and photographers. The images are never airbrushed or retouched, which is an act of bravery for the model and for Steve Shaw. The images and the entire presentation of Treats! is an exquisite adventure. Some of the models he has used are Emily Ratajkowski, Elsa Hosk, Dylan Penn (daughter of Sean and Robin Wright), Estella Warren and Ireland Baldwin. In addition, the magazine prides itself in discovering new talent. Each issue is printed in limited editions and also offers classic works by great photographers and literary features and profiles. We are subscribing today and can’t wait to experience the freedom of the unrestricted eroticism of Treats!
