Los Angeles, CA – Andrew Blake, erotic artist, photographer and cinematographer adds another coveted AVN Award to his mantle, taking home the win for "Best Cinematography" for his erotic cinema release, "Paid Companions." The AVN Awards were presented live on Saturday night, January 10th, 2009 at Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas.
Paid Companions is an intimate and exclusive look into the world of High-Class Call Girls – the playthings for wealthy and powerful men and women. Paid Companions brings the viewer into exclusive hotel suites where these women share themselves, up close and personal for the ultimate in intense, sexual pleasure – which is Blake's signature statement of bravura exhibitionism and voyeurism.
Starring Faye Reagan, Nika Noire, Jana Jordan with Essi-X, Veronique Vega, Jayme Langford, Carolyne Reese, Hailey James, Tanya James and Chiane, the film introduces Faye Reagan into Blake's cinematic oeuvre. Her appealingly melancholic eyes captivate and engage; she possesses translucent, incredibly puffy and large nipples that remind Blake of centerfolds from the 1950's. As usual for Blake, the movie was shot on motion picture film - the original, one hundred year old high definition format.
"I'd like to thank AVN for the Best Cinematography award for my film PAID COMPANIONS. It means a lot to me to be recognized for shooting on film in a business that has almost entirely moved to video production. I'm still and always will be committed to film as a visual medium. So thanks again, and the best is yet to come!" said Blake
Paid Companions is available on DVD at www.andrewblake.com.
