Motel Fetish (Second Edition) by Chas Ray Krider is a captivating collection of cinematic erotic photography, reissued by Taschen in 2012. Featuring more than 160 photographs, the book blends fantasy, voyeurism, and vintage Americana through carefully staged scenes set in the intimate backdrop of roadside motels. Inspired by film noir, Krider's images create a sense of mystery, desire, and nostalgia.
Originally hard to find after its first release, this second edition made Krider's acclaimed work available to a new audience. Edited by Eric Kroll, the volume showcases the photographer's signature style, combining warm tones, mid-century aesthetics, and visual storytelling influenced by pulp fiction, classic noir, and 1950s pin-up culture. A standout title for collectors and photography enthusiasts alike, Motel Fetish remains one of the defining works in contemporary erotic photography.
