Figure studies are a traditional mainstay
of art and the photos of Bill Dobbins have focused attention on
the aesthetic, artistic and erotic qualities of the bodies of female
bodybuilders, fitness and figure competitors, sexy hardbody muscles
and other muscular women who have used weight training and diet
to turn their bodies into beautiful pieces of erotic sculpture.
Too many, sexy female muscle is a fetish, a sexual turn-on, a source
of primary erotic stimulation. But while art can be erotic and
can use fetish as a subject source, it's aim is to make important
and general observations about the nature of the world. Bill Dobbins
sees women with muscles - from the world of female bodybuilding,
fitness and figure competition and the growing ranks of sexy muscular
fitness models - as what Pumping Iron author Charles Gaines called
a "new
archetype," a totally new revelation about the female body,
the aesthetic and erotic potential of muscles on women, something
"New Under The Sun." In that regard, the his nude photos
are not just pictures of "naked women." They are intended
to explore the sculptural and sensuous potential of this new kind
of female body in both it's artistic and erotic qualities.
From the Amazon.com Website:
"Though the popularity
of female bodybuilding has been rapidly growing over the past three
decades, women's brawny body types are still not accepted in the global
opinion of the way women ought to look. Enter Bill Dobbins, a man whose
mission is to show the world what ultra-muscular women really look
like—- and that they look good. Modern Amazons is a unique collection
of fine art photos and essays giving a fascinating insight into Dobbins's
vision of femininity and the impact of female bodybuilding on modern
society. Dobbins shows us a kind of female physique that challenges
the typical thin-legged-large-breasted archetype of female beauty.
With his highly skilled studio and natural light portraits, he worships
these women's bulging muscles like no photographer has done before."

This is the first era in all
of human history in which women have developed hyper-muscularity
for primairly aesthetic purposes. This concept is so totally
revolutionary and culturally dangerous that even the physique
federations themselves still have grave reservations about
the idea. But along with being "something new under the
sun," the aesthetically developed female physique is also
a wonderful subject for photographic art. These women are living
sculptures and represent a unique expression of the human body,
gender and erotic possibilities. It is my great fortune to
be working in an era in which these women are available as
subjects for my photographic efforts.
