Ron Harris (photographer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ron Harris (born 1940) is an American erotic photographer and television director.

In 1982 Harris created and directed Aerobicise and :20 Minute Workout, both aerobics-based television programs.

His nudes are photographed in a rather classical, glamorous style. Hugh Hefner called him "The King of Erotica"^{[citation needed]} and Playboy Magazine called him "The Granddaddy of Soft-core".^{[citation needed]} He has over 25,000 published photographs and over 500 Art Director Awards for excellence in photography.^{[citation needed]}

In 1995, he revisited the aerobics genre with the VHS video release, Totally Nude Aerobics which was re-released in 2000 in DVD format. Harris launched his "Harris Archive" in 2003, a website mainly featuring softcore photography and erotic movies.

He also hosts a website that, according to the BBC, offers "the eggs of eight models for auction over the internet" with bids starting "between US$15,000 and US$150,000, depending on the model". Harris describes his idea as, "Darwin's natural selection at its very best". [1]
