Elmer Batters (1919-1997) was a pioneer fetish photographer who specialized in capturing artful images of women with an emphasis on stockings, legs, and feet. He was ahead of his time in popularizing foot-fetish imagery as erotic entertainment. Batters started out publishing his photographs himself, and since the late 1960s his work has been featured in magazines such as "Leg-O-Rama", "Nylon Doubletake", and "Black Silk Stockings", to name but a few.
