ERIC KROLL is an erotic photographer and one of the most interesting artists now living. Two of his books ("Fetish Girls" and "Eric Kroll's Beauty Parade," both published by Taschen) are the best-selling photography books of all time. He is often called "the father of American erotic photography."

In ERIC KROLL: A PHOTOGRAPHER'S LIFE, Kroll allows Elia Katz's camera to candidly capture the truth of his world during several weeks of his work and life, as he photographs numerous beautiful models, stages fascinating happenings and living works of art with them, and lives the life of a celebrated photo-philosopher in Los Angeles in 2007. This is an honest portrayal of a fascinating world - today's L.A. Underground scene - and a fascinating life.

In just the past 6 months, excerpts from this film have been viewed by over 750.000 people on Youtube, Yahoo!Video, Veoh, etc., and tens of thousands of people have downloaded clips to their home computers, ipods and cell phones. Even though most of the clips have been edited to pass the censorship standards of Youtube. In ERIC KROLL: A PHOTOGRAPHER'S LIFE they are uncensored at last.

ELIA KATZ is a novelist and filmmaker whose book "Armed Love" was named by the New York Times as "one of the most important books published in America since World War Two," and who has created and produced successful TV series of both the educational and popular varieties. An award-winning TV writer, he worked on such shows as Hill Street Blues and Tour of Duty.
