I was reading comments and some people are criticizing manipulation of Mike's penis but here I want to mention using photoshop is not kidding. Photoshop is like canvas and one of amazing tool of creativity. It not thing for everybody. People easily say bad things to photographers for using photoshop but same people feel amazing for VFX movies.
This is amazing what Petter did in these photos. A final photo should be ready masterpiece of art and Petter know it how to do.
Experimentation is the essence of evolving art... we love this concept! If you aren't receiving mixed reviews it is a signal that artistic growth may stagnate. A fresh interpretation of previous work... we love Hegre.com because we love surprises and the unexpected... thanks for another unique erotic experience!
You do you, man. I appreciate pretty much all you put on here. I could do with less "Day in the Life of..." and more massage and lingam/yoni worship stuff, or even some hardcore stuff (don't want that all the time, but there's something extra artistic about the way you do it), as it's usually erotic and nearly perfect. I do miss seeing Flora and Mike and Charlotta and Serena. But, you do you. This is YOUR art. We're just spectators.

Hi Petter, I appreciate you startet to get in dialogue with your custumers. So I would like to take the opportunity to ask two questions: First: Why did you remove Luba from the site? She's missing!! And second: Do we have to be feared to loose other models without explanation and without warning? Thanks for answering! Like your exceptional work very much.
FOUNDER
Petter Hegre,

hi Duffy Duck, thanks for your support. as you might know, my wife luba and I practically started hegre.com together 18 years ago, and her perfect derrière helped spiral this platform beyond our wildest expectations. but there comes a point in life when having your naked assets on display for everyone to see is not as thrilling as it used to be. also, in the world of modeling, contracts are seldom perpetual, so occasionally we have to remove some models depending on what was agreed in the contract. I hope I answered your question satisfactorily. ph
Hi Petter,
its is nice to see your reply - I have been following your platform, apparently, from the very beginning (lucky me) I'm happy that your wildest dreams continue to blossom - it has been so nice, for so long, to see how your connection with all the contributing artist has made for a wonderful, pleasantly unique experience - thank you!
On another note - are these new shots of Flora? Will she be doing more sets? Of all the models, Flora has been my favorite and would love to see her again or to add to contracts, a provision to enable the site to give updates on whatever the models may be up to... kind of big ask
May you and yours be safe in this pandemic Petter.
With gratitude,
Thomas

You're going for something amazing, just poor execution. Please keep it real and highlight the things you want to highlight in an artistic way, not with photoshop. It's what you do best
FOUNDER
Petter Hegre,

hi Defhj, thanks for your feedback. I really wish that these member's profiles had the age listed next to them. that would tell me what generation you are from, and I could provide more fitting responses. but let me start by saying that I spent the first 10 years of my 30 years career as a photographer in the darkroom. the darkroom was our photoshop. we did amazing things in the dark, incredible manipulations and transformations, and when we really needed to alter or enhance looks we had to draw/airbrush on the prints, reproduce them (repro photography) and reprint them, a process that could go on for weeks. I recall when I was working for richard avedon in nyc back in the early 90's, he had artists come in and draw on his photographs, which we photographed and reprinted, and this could go on for up to a 5-6 rounds til he was happy with the result. it was today's version of photoshop's layers. photoshop is an amazing creative tool. the execution is flawless in these images. can you please pin point where you see poor execution ? and there is nothing shameful about using photoshop to underline a message. and yes, I have underlined his cock to create some super sexual powerful images. take your time, view each image in full screen, feel the raw power. to me as a visual artist it just blew my mind when I saw the effect it had. not sure if I answered your question, but there you go. best. ph

Petter perhaps you're stuck in a creative rut and are attempting to branch out and embrace new themes. However the problem that you will have with this is that your clients joined this site because of what you have offered in the past: a very specific track record of excellence revealing and exalting the virtues of the young European woman. Some experimentation can be taken in stride but beware the tipping point. I would venture that your audience here is pretty liberal and has only good will towards Tom Of Finland, and yet none of us signed up to this website with tributes to Tom in mind. Petter you are a great artist. Your power is that you have an ability to deliver intense sensuality devoid almost entirely of sleaze, which is why I consider you an artist as opposed to a pornographer. Please stick to your strengths Petter! While it might be a bit confining for you, it is after all what we signed up for. Thanks Petter.
Another reason i have cancelled my subscription. Stick to what was very good; genuine pictures of beautiful women, Flora was one of the best and also erotically playful with male models. This set of doctored pictures doesn't do your reputation as an excellent erotic photographer any credit.
hi No1lly, please take a look at last week's photo updates. there are six sets of beautiful and natural female nudes and then there is one. lets call it "erotic experiment". so if we go back a week from today, I'm basically delivering all you are asking for 6 out of 7 times. where do you get that kind of service on the web ? and please don't forget, that for less than 20 quid I give you exclusive access to over 800 movies and 300.000 photos for a whole month... are you saying I'm giving you a bad deal ? the issues these days is that people want more and more and pay less and less and they love to sit at home and complain. it's a fact. there are no websites in the world that operate like we do, one loyal team for almost 20 years, with daily updates for almost 20 years. we work with integrity and try to bring some handcrafted quality to the ugly side of the web, and then we get this spew of complaints for being creative and playful. I really enjoyed making this set, and there is more coming, but also lots of other stuff is in the pipeline for this year, just too bad your gonna miss it. regardless, appreciate your support. cheers. ph

Even so, it’s a big cock...

It's interesting. It's well-done (no surprise). Judgement requires longer looking, at full-size images. I am curious what will come with Part 2.
I greatly appreciate Petter's responses to the comments here. Thank you.
The "Tom of Finland" look is stylistically narrow and easy to spot. I am not sure I see it here — but I suppose that would represent copying, which is a cheap form of tribute. The questions I have are: Why now? and Why "Tom of Finland"? Any beyond-real photo-manipulation violates one of the understood but unstated "rules" of Hegre-Art: the appearance of cool, unwavering objectivity — what I think of as "The aestheticization of facts". That rule is a bit of a contract between the artist and the viewer (and, as mentioned in the comments, something of an actual contract between the artist and purchasers). Violating this stylistic rule — even parenthetically, as a "Tribute" — does some damage to Hegre-Art. It doesn't taste right. That's not a comment about these images — I like them and think they are funny — I personally conclude that they don't belong on Hegre-Art. They are visually similar, but perceptually and psychologically so different as to require their own relationship with viewers and buyers.
Imho, the additional copyright is inelegant — it intrudes on the image. Is it possible tonuse some form of digital, invisible, signing of the files?
FOUNDER

hi Yeseye, thanks for your thoughtful feedback and being part of the community here. it took me some time to respond to this one. I had to dwell on it. you are right in so many ways and what a word wizard you are. english not being my native tongue, I sometimes miss being able to express myself in my own norse language. firstly, you are 100% correct that these images require longer looking at full size, ideally on a big screen TV or pro computer monitor. the images are intended for gallery viewing. I plan to display these at the erotic art festival in london in october this year. when it comes to your "why's", I stopped asking that question a long time ago. for a true artist the "why" is a resistance to the flow of creative creation. same goes for rules. I say fuck the rules. I'm not an analytic guy or very technical, I follow my gut. I let my primal drive take me places, and I try not to think too much about consequences. this is why I love the work of young artists. they are so brave and don't give a shit. some of the first sets on hegre almost 20 years ago had images from the gay pride parade in nyc, it had abstract close up pussy collections and images of old naked woman vacuuming their homes. hegre was built on this, so this "big black dick" set, breaking with the stylistic rules, a bastard, a misfit, is simply a way of looking back at the origin of hegre. the recently released movie "go west young girl" is also an outsider. I have to work out of the box. I can not let the expectations of the hegre-clan restrain me. see what elon musk did with the cyber-truck. he completely blew the head off all his followers, and for a second they all hated him for it, but now it's the most pre-ordered car in the history of car-making. I see it as my responsibility to challenge my audience, educate, entertain and not always conform to expectations. when it comes to that "inelegant" additional copyright line, It's simply to protect my art, and to make sure I get my deserved credit when the images are being shared illegally on the www. anyways, with that black bazooka in the pic, I doubt it will be very noticeable. thanks again for your support. ph
Would love to see Flora take Mike inside of her, vaginally, like Serena took one of the other male models. Any chance that could happen?

Isn't it a bit late for a so-called tribute to somebody who died almost 30 years ago and is known for his contribution to gay culture? How can this be described as an update when it's using images last used in 2013? I agree with some of the comments made previously; the series is boring, pointless and unnecessary

There's a Like button, there should be a dislike button too.
It would be the 1st time I should activate this button, as I'm always enjoying your photos usually.
I don't understand the purpose of this set, except for an April fool. If this was just a joke, you could also do breast enlargment, pussy widening, big manga eyes etc ...
I have nothing against watching nice men and their cocks in your pictures, it can be very erotic.
Maybe there's a reason to show today a tribute to Tom of Finland. I don't understand why, and this set doesn't represent some sort of homage

hi Global58, sure, allow me to elaborate on this new series on hegre called "tom of finland tribute". firstly, feel free to google "tom of finland" and you will see what I'm talking about. tom of finland's real name is touko laaksonen and he died in 1991. he is widely regarded as one of the 20th century’s most influential artists for his representation of the male figure, more specifically the male penis. he described his own work as "dirty drawings". with his extreme homo-erotic fetish renderings of hyper-masculine virile men, he created an imaginative sexual universe to promote equality and affirmation for the gay community. and to show our support of this artistry, we have made our own renderings. enjoy. ph
