Petals - Journey into Self Discovery is a remarkable video documentary that both examines and questions the many unspoken myths about the appearance and nature of women's sexual organs.  The essence of a woman's sexuality -- her vulva - has been a taboo subject of depiction by cultures locked into fear of our basic physical nature.  These deep-seated beliefs directly affect sexual self-esteem.  The movie records the reactions of sex educators, women's health professionals, art critics, female activists, as well as the men/women in the street as they confront the physical mystery of womanhood.


Photographer Nick Karras has composed images with an unusual visual and emotional sensitively.  The documentary follows his intimate journey as he produces a book of artful photographs.  His subtle black and white photographs discover the delicate beauty in the infinite variety of female genitals, inspiring a profound sense of wonder and awe.  Quite different from conventional sexual expectations, the film is continually revealing.  Unforgettable women became his guides and teachers - Betty Dodson, the legendary leader pioneer of women's sexual liberation; Linda Savage, Ph.D., a published cultural anthropologist; Ina Laughing Winds, a teacher of shamanic sexual traditions; Sarah Mundy, a young woman with a website dedicated to the glories of the vagina, and many other dynamic women.  They joined him in confronting both the current fears and timeless beauty found in a woman's most basic sexual nature.  

"Not too clinical, not too casual, not too graphic.  This documentary film is a highly accessible, uplifting, insightful, and healing experience."
Alix Bacon, Certified Sexual Health Educator & Radio Host, Vancouver, B.C.

Fine Art Photography Book


Nick Karras has brought a refined aesthetic sensibility to the forty-eight black & white photographs of the most sacred part of a woman's body.  The female form has been forever the subject of the visual arts of sculpture and painting.  Photography brings the hard challenges of realism.  Karras achieves an exquisite balance between an expression of art and the natural delicacy of a woman's vulva.

An informative interview with Nick Karras explains and details the personal issues and artful choices he faced in the personal struggle to achieve the radically simple intention of his photography.

"As a sexual medicine physician/urologist, it is truly important to have PETALS as a tool to use to show my patients the variety in anatomic features of the female genitalia. Nick's work is a highly valuable contribution for the field of sexual medicine. The reaction of my female patients are exceptionally positive and I strongly recommend PETALS book and video."
