Theo Ehret spent a good twenty years, beginning in the sixties, as a professional photographer in Los Angeles. He started out photographing modern buildings and homes around LA, but by the early seventies was better known for his photographs of the local wrestling scene and, eventually, for pioneering the strange, soft-core genre of bikini-clad female Apartment Wrestling. Artists Cameron Jamie and Mike Kelley edited a book of Ehret's apartment wrestling photographs, Exquisite Mayhem: The Spectacular and Erotic World of Wrestling, that was published by Taschen in 2001. This is an interview on Taschen's site between Jamie and Ehret, in which he discusses how he got into that genre. Asked by Jamie if he finds the work to be sexy, Ehret answers: "No. I don't think it's sexy at all. It's posed and make-believe, that's what it is....I was completely impartial to it. It was a job, that was it."
