Photography

Howard is credited as the last photographer to capture living photographs of

country musician Waylon Jennings before his death in 2002.[2] The photoshoot was arranged by ex-Hells Angels President Sonny Barger, a mutual friend of both Howard and Jennings, and took place just before a performance by the singer at the New Orleans casino in Las Vegas about four months prior to his death.[2] Howard has also shot many other musicians including Dave Navarro, Marilyn Manson, Billy Idol, Willie Nelson, Steve Jones, Estelle Asmodelle and Dick Dale, as well as pin-up icon and cult classic actress Mamie Van Doren, then in her 70s.[2] The Lord Balfour Hotel in Miami, Florida, showcases 64 of her images in 30-foot wall murals, and has rugs designed from her photographs. Tattoo Bar in Washington DC, which while not owned by Howard, is filled with her art.[3] She was rated one of the top 10 tattoo photographers in the world by Rank My Tattoos[7] and in 2013 released a Lady Ink calendar, which has been described as the "glamour calendar with a downtown edge".[8]
She has had over 25 calendars to her credit.

Her first camera was a

fetish photographer at a time when fetish photography was not yet well known, before moving on to incorporate other styles into her work.[10] Howard's work has been described as "more modern works of art than mere photographs",[11] and is known internationally.[6] Her portfolio includes over two million images, and one of her collector-owned fine art photographs was appraised at $40,000.[11]

Influences

Howard cites Helmut Newton as a major influence of her work, a statement she has made in multiple interviews; she has also been called the "female Helmut Newton".[9][12] Additionally, she is influenced by the work of Robert Mapplethorpe and Mark Seliger.

Gallery and museum work

In 1995 Howard had her first one-woman gallery show in Los Angeles, "Black & White & Brutal", which presented her "fetish and kink-oriented imagery" to a receptive audience.[1] Since then she has had over 60 art gallery exhibitions, including a downtown LA show titled "Sharp Edges" with crime writer John Gilmore, in which all the art was stuck to the walls with custom knives.[3] An exhibition of her work titled 'Alice in Thunderland' opened in early 2011 at the World Erotic Art Museum in Florida marking a graduation of Howard's work from art galleries to museums.[13] Her work is also featured on the walls of the Lord Balfour Hotel in South Beach, Florida. Sixty-four of its rooms house Howard art, and the rooms have been decorated to match the colors in her photographs. 30-foot murals grace the rooms and some rooms showcase easel-based art within the master suites.
