One of gay porn’s legends has died. JC Adams confirmed that Jean-Daniel Cadinot passed away Wednesday from a heart attack. A creative artist since the early 70’s, Cadinot began shooting nude photo albums, and wrote, produced and directed over 60 films, winning awards at the GAYVNs and the Venus Awards in Berlin. Mr. Cadinot was 64.

His final bow words:
“Dear friends, critics and others,

If you’re reading these words I will have put down my camera, switched off the lights, drawn the curtains and taken my final bow. May all the efforts and work of a whole life, the quest for the moment of pure truth in the sublime communion of two beings under the spell of the undefinable desire for the other, inspire those who inherit my heart.

The human being is made such that it only remembers the good and the beautiful, therefore I leave you with a free mind and a head overflowing with a myriad of young men, sometimes strong and vigorous, sometimes fragile and sensitive. All of them gave me these unforgettable moments of their most tender intimacy, moments that only a few really know but which I made in to images to allow you to admire them over and over again.

Never were success or personal fortune my creed. You offered me gratitude, and I thank you for that because I wanted nothing else. Cadinot salutes you. Remember a kindly fellow, an extreme observer given to rages and contradiction but who listened to others and was full of love.”

Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
