It is clear this gentleman has seen some adult-themed materials in his time. It is also extremely clear he is a master of understatement, and of extracting and expressing the absolute from image, and preserving a clear image.

I think this is good, and I think this is also sexy (if I may put this in a non commercial way). I also like Mr Richardson's treatment of the Old Masters, as seen in The Lady with the Crocodile (formerly Hermine), where he obliterates many details in favour of several striking elements.
