Anyone who has seen her Digital Diaries has intimate knowledge of Natacha Merritt. And of her Friends, male and female, and her acquaintances as well. But Merritt's favourite motif is herself: she poses almost every minute of the day for her camera, taking photographs of herself in bed, in the shower, having sex with her friend, masturbating with and without accessories, from every imaginable angle and with the camera usually at arm's length. Merritt, born 1977, works with a digital camera, the Polaroid of the 90s, breaking down the most intimate details into universally accessible bits of information. Eric Kroll came across Natacha Merritt by chance in the internet, where she had put several of her photographs. This was something that left the tradition of classical pin-up and fetish photography, in which Kroll himself works, far behind. Face to face with Merritt's photographs one can reflect on intimacy and publicity in the digital age, on narcissism even, or on radical self-exploration with the help of the camera. But this all sounds better as Natacha Merritt herself puts it: in her view, she has found a new mode of masturbating her way into the next millennium.

Review
"Fresh sin: Her photos reek of sex." -- Eric Kroll
From the Author
"My photo needs and my sexual needs are one and the same." Natacha Merritt in the nude: Cybersex and the "Generation @"
"My work always goes to bed with me."
About the Author
The Photographer:Natacha Merritt grew up in San Francisco. She went to Paris to study law but after three months abandoned her studies for a much more exciting part-time job: taking digital photographs of models with her Casio, at a time when digital cameras were rare and expensive in Europe. Merritt quickly discovered the advantages of this technologe. On her return to San Francisco she showed her works on the Internet. In March 1999 she received a call from Eric Kroll, and shortly afterwards met up with Benedikt Taschen in L.A. - the start of "Digital Diaries". She is currently working on her own website

A bracing shot of personal expression
By Thomas A. Baker
Certainly not for everyone. This book WILL offend...and that's got to be part of what Natacha Merritt was going for. A better question is not "why was she compelled to document her sex life in a book?" but rather "why are people upset about it?" That's the question no one wants to really answer, the deeper, more challenging debate that's sure to crop up whenever a work like this is published. Any art that forces the audience to think about themselves has some kind of merit, and the raw handheld photographic style lends an intimacy--certainly no studio sheen here--that is altogether appropriate for the material. If you are to look at this book, be warned that not only will you be looking at Merritt; you'll be looking at yourself--your own attitudes towards sex. May you be fortunate enough to like, or at least accept, whatever it is that you see. If you hate books like this, I submit that you may be afraid of the possibilities in the mirror they present.

Digital Exhibitionism
By C. L. Wilson
This is a book created entirely of pictures of the author having sex with various men and women or posing nude for her camera. Many of the images remind me of pictures I have painted and photos I have taken. She says in her book that she lets her photographic projects dictate her sex life. According to my calculation of dates in the book she started this at 15 in San Francisco and is now about 22 and lives in New York. One of the oddest things she has done is find a model in NYC who looks so much like her that she says she can't tell the images of the two of them apart except when they are both in the shot. This made me realize how much this book is about the process of taking the images and the direct feedback of the digital process. If artistic exhibitionism is of interest to you, either as a viewer or as an image maker, this book is great. The "look inside this book" images give a good idea of the book's style.

Surprisingly touching at points, with artistic intent.
By D. Mok
Though it'd be easy to lump Natacha Merritt with the rest of the webcam/internet exhibitionists, it took only one examination of this book to make me see otherwise in Merritt's digital photography.
With a maverick's audacity and technical disregard (one interviewer made the humorous remark that Merritt "can't tell an f-stop from a bus stop"), Merritt has somehow managed to discover a visual style all her own that fuses strange angles, simple lighting, unusual placement of her subjects, and introspection into one. The more explicit photos oftimes threaten to de-humanize Merritt herself and her subjects, but those are counterbalanced by some very tasteful, evocative shots that convey the subjects' internal drama.
Merritt makes a better subject than any other person in this book for her own camera. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous, but she has two things to her advantage: Expressive eyes, and the unique dynamic of photographer-as-subject. Is she simultaneously empowered and scrutinized by the camera? How often does she know what exactly the image looks like? And which photos are staged? Which ones are taken as a fly-on-the-wall snapshot? Merritt is always interesting as her own subject, and it is telling that the best set of pictures in this book, the "self search" series, focus much less on sexual acts than on self-discovery, examination, and Merritt's relationship to the camera and to her own body. Most of these are close-ups from wildly imaginative angles, shadowy, and intriguing -- the crowning picture is Merritt looking at her own hand in a mirror, contemplating. These pictures tell many stories about the young woman both in front of and behind the camera, and they're beautiful and revealing in a way far beyond the sexually explicit pictures. Most of those do manage to achieve a degree of honesty and spontaneity as well, making them erotically charged.
Accusations of narcissism can't be avoided and Merritt can probably be said to be guilty of it sometimes. But what she produces from her unique work methods is so intriguing, and her revelation of herself as photographer (a rarity in photography) so far-reaching, that this book remains a great fascination. It'd be a shame if it were to be lumped with the usual erotic photography and exhibitionistic endeavours. Digital Diaries has much more to offer.
