Photographer Chas Ray Krider's lens captured the essence of Dita Von Teese, a woman destined for stardom. The brunette bombshell's transformation into burlesque and fetish icon began long before her Playboy magazine cover in 2002.
Krider's photographs of Von Teese, shot between 1998 to 2000, showcase her Old Hollywood glamour. These images not only reveal her credentials as a model but also her captivating attitude and charisma that would propel her to fame. Krider's "Motel Fetish" series features Von Teese in hotel rooms, exuding a cinematic quality with its use of film intended for daylight shooting and hotel lamps for lighting. The result is an aesthetically pleasing yet authentically erotic portrayal.
Von Teese's career trajectory was marked by numerous milestones, including her marriage to Marilyn Manson and writing a New York Times bestselling book. Despite these achievements, Krider credits Von Teese with hard work, stating she "deserves everything she gets." He has compiled the images for a forthcoming book titled "The Dita Sessions" with her consent.
Krider's connection with Von Teese was forged through his photography work, which eventually led to collaborations on additional shoots in California and other locations. The photographer maintains a close relationship with Von Teese, who is now an established figure in the world of burlesque and fetish performances.
Chas Ray Krider's photography career began in Ohio, where he worked as a street photographer inspired by Ralph Gibson. He later became enamored with women and lingerie, leading him to delve into erotic photography.
The Dirty Show, an annual event founded by Jerry Vile, will feature Chas Ray Krider's photographs of Dita Von Teese, among 300 artworks showcasing erotic art. The event celebrates artistic freedom and individuality, pushing boundaries in the art world.
As for Vile, he does not target a specific audience but aims to cater to those who appreciate unconventional art. He believes that his work embodies an alternative to mainstream academia, mirroring punk rock's DIY ethos.
Tickets to The Dirty Show range from $50 and will be available from February 13th to the 21st at the Russell Exhibition Center in Detroit
