Acclaim

“Heather Hite's work is stunning, and her hand is immediately recognizable in every shot she produces. Gorgeous, cleanly lit, perfectly framed and ever-enticing -- her work shows a level of talent and skill that many aspire to but few achieve. Any one image could be admired for hours, and this beautiful anthology will certainly be adored for a lifetime. ”

—Rant Casey, photographer & model, Startled Flesh


“With a delicate but assured focus on both humanity and lighting, Heather’s work is a tasteful arousing experience which showcases her models beautifully.”

—Aaron “Small Hands” Thompson, actor & musician


“It’s honestly pretty weird for me to lend some words to such a thing - I’ve always felt a certain sense of shame in viewing images of nudity and sex. Chalk that up to Jewish guilt or whatever. However, seeing sex through Heather’s lens changes that perspective. Having her tell the story, and allowing women to tell theirs through her lens; adds depth to what otherwise would be a benign and usual smut-consuming experience. Which is what art is all about. Or so I’m told.”

—Aaron “okPants” Sechrist, artist
