My passion for erotic art began at an early age when I was given a camera from a relative. I began to take pictures of myself in my bedroom posing in a sexy manner in the nude. Every year I would create two rolls of film that I kept in a lock box as I was not able to express my erotic art due to my sexuality being suppressed by a religious up bringing. My lock box was confiscated and to this day I do not know where those photos reside. I just wanted to create art with my body and express myself and It was taken away from me.
James Carmel is a continuation of this art now that I am free and open to express myself as a human and an artist. I want to show that being sexy should not be a stigma and sharing myself in this way will help other’s find their own body positivity and confidence as a human being. Now I push the limits of eroticism with my somewhat campy ArtPorn. I am James Carmel.
