Naked Ambition Designed by DJ StoutDJ Stout and his team in the Austin office have designed Naked Ambition: An R-rated Look at an X-rated Industry, just published by Rock Out Books.
The book, intended as a social documentary exploration into the American porn industry, is composed of photographs culled from photographer Michael Grecco's portraits and still lifes taken at the Adult Video News Awards and features introductions by David Navarro and Larry Flint along with titillating interviews with porn industry professionals.
When asked about designing a book about porn, DJ responded: "I've designed books on Mexican prostitutes, the Klu Klux Klan, women in prison, skin heads, violent gangs and now the world of pornography.
I've also designed books and magazine features on pigs, dairy cows, computers, guitar players, lawyers, realtors and the entire history of Saudi Arabia... I preferred the porn book."
Naked Ambition is being launched in conjunction with an exhibition at the Stephen Cohen Gallery that opens in Los Angeles on 25 October and at Photo Miami/Art Basel on 5 December.
