"I’m just an old rockwrite who picked up a camera and discovered that it loved me," is how Kurt Hernon describes his foray into photography. After years of covering and writing about music for a host of papers, ‘zines, and online sites Kurt Hernon found himself becoming bored with the music world and intrigued by photography. In particular the Crazybabe erotic stylings of Bob Coulter caught his eye and captured his imagination. Starting out with a Canon Powershot point-and-shoot in one hand and a five dollar worklight in the other, Hernon started down the road to a style that has become uniquely his own. Marrying his love of color, shadows, weird old motel rooms, and rock and roll Hernon’s shots always have a bit of the "what the hell...?" to them as well as a tongue-firmly-in-cheek humor. This approach to erotica is perhaps best described by one critic who opined:
Bodies offered in back light, postmodern pinups as prostitutes shot red-handed, the work of an insomniac paparazzi shooting in shady hotels and public restrooms, even if of course everything is only a pretense worked out in the tiniest detail, photos evoking the reality with such a veracity that the border between imagination and documentary is blurring out.

Hernon's erotic work has been featured at: Incubuschoice (artist interview and collection), Michelle7Erotica, Dirty Show 10.5, Dirty Show Los Angeles, La Sala Nightclub, and various blogs and other online circuses.
Hernon's work in the realm of nude bodies and dirty motel rooms has inevitibly led his photography career down other artistic paths. His work in art photography is vibrant, energetic, and at times utterly abstract. He tends to be an urbanist in the great tradition of so many American photographic heroes of the twentieth century.
