Images from Los Angeles photographer Michael Grecco's book "Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry," were on display at this year's Rencontres de Photographie in Arles, France. The book, published last fall by Rock Out Books, examines the adult entertainment industry and its stars. Grecco is also putting the finishing touches on a feature film, to be released in 2009, based on the book.
Several of Grecco's images have won awards at the Prix de la Photographie Paris (Px3) photo competition. He has also recently completed shooting an ad campaign for Campbell's Soup with football player LaDainian Tomlinson and designed and judged an episode of Bravo's reality TV show "Shear Genius."
