Erotic and Fetish photography is a way to express the beauty of the human form. There are ranges of emotional aspects that the nudes or figures portray in the photograph. Erotic and Fetish photography both tend to define material in a higher emotional content, the development of place, character and story line, or of an overall artistic theme. Many of the master painters, such as Michelangelo, Raphael, and many other artist of figurative painting and sculpture, master the human form and used nudity to express the beauty and sensuality of the model and a much deeper philosophical content.

Fetish photography, which deals with bondage, is more than its cliché definition. The photography portrays the freedom and artistic virtues that a figure can express. Leather or latex, which is sometimes used to emphasize the human form, helps express the dramatic or the narrative content of Fetish photography. The photography extends toward a darker nature of gothic characteristics or a dramatic enlightenment of the form. Gothic Image uses certain props, clothing, and places that enlighten the photographs with certain moods or scenes.

Some Erotic photography has naturalistic qualities, a provocative sense, a sexual theme, or show a study into humanity. Different mediums are used in some Erotic and Fetish photographs, for example digital mediums, which can express the figure in limitless ways. As an example, Evi Numen uses photography and digital techniques to create a unique narrative or mood that's used through color and composition in the photograph. Her models help create this effect.

Erotic and Fetish photography should be more in the public eye more than dealing with the hardships of censorship, because most of the genre of photographs promotes artistic values. Women and men of varied size, shape, and appearance are sometimes used in this kind of photography. In Scott Church's photographs, women and men of varied shape and sizes are used in creative and original compositions. He also photographs his friends, which makes his work on a personal level.
