JEFF BURTON began his photographic career on the sets of erotic films, his photographs capture the idea of seduction and sensuality, without the crude harshness of explicit hard-core imagery. Nude bodies become abstract forms, fragmented and piecemeal, often placed at the margins of the frame. The sexual act is frozen and broken up, reflected in textures that catch the photographer’s eye.

His photographs set up uncanny relationships between people and their surroundings, and his playful juxtapositions blur the traditional boundaries of real action and acting, work and pleasure, fact and fiction, documentary and fine art photography.
