Giulio Sciorio's Faces of Ecstasy

O: Faces, a series of highly-detailed, highly-controversial portraits, taken while the subject is mid-orgasm, will be making their way to the Produce Art Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona.

The first showing will take place on the last First Friday of the year on December 07, 2007.
While all subjects are photographed from the shoulders up and are all fully dressed, the photographs have still received a dramatic response from the few who have had the chance to spot them at Giulio’s Studio space in Downtown Phoenix.

So, where is all the controversy coming from? “When people think orgasm, they think porn” states photographer, Giulio Sciorio. “It’s a selection of people from society…this is the teacher and she has orgasms. This is the electrician and he has orgasms. It’s sampling society. I feel privileged that they are sharing that with the camera, knowing that it’ll be shared with the world. [the subjects] are brave to do that”. Images are being released throughout the rest of 2007 on the photographers website.All profits from the Phoenix exhibit will be donated to AIDS charities.
