Candy King is a photography student at the University of Houston in Texas, currently working on her BFA in photography and digital media. In addition to her education, King works as a photographer for H Texas Magazine based in Houston, Texas. Much of her artwork features the supernatural and concepts of the afterlife. Some of her influences include Eugen Atget, Hans Bellmer, Joel Peter Witkin, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Gregory Crewdson. King's recent works are loosely based upon Dante Alghieri's The Divine Comedy, portraying infernal sins such as Lust and Wrath. Her current body of work focuses on the sin of Lust.  In this work, King questions Lust's place in the Inferno by portraying some of the virtues that can be found in Lust.  The reasoning King offers is that Lust is the initiation of romance. "A relationship is not ignited without a little spark from lust."
