As early as 1979, Allen Jones and his wife, design consultant Deirdre Morrow, visited JH in his home for a mutual interested creative exchange of ideas. He left behind a small, priceless treasure - an original Allen Jones drawn in JH's guest book.
When JH later made photography his main profession, he incorporated more and more elements of rubber fetish photography into his work. The first releases were just covers and sets in fetish magazines, at that time more or less "forbidden" underground publications, but soon his clients for fashion, lingerie and advertising as well as for record covers became also interested. Unforgotten his idea to let Amanda Lear appear on stage in a rubber outfit.
JH has often used his adventurous travels to take rubber fetish photos on the side - even in such exotic places as volcanic landscapes on remote islands in the ATLANTIC and PACIFIC, or in the rainforests of ASIA and SOUTH AMERICA, and always with the most beautiful models accompanying him on his trips.
Long before JH became a professional photographer, as a hobby photographer he developed an inclination and a very special talent for "fetish photography", more precisely for "rubber fetish photography". Still in the Air Force, just for fun he had taken rubber fetish pictures that attracted the attention of the fetish scene that was developing globally at that time.
It was in the seventies, eighties and nineties when JH was significantly involved in the development of this movement in LONDON and HAMBURG, in AMSTERDAM and NEW YORK, involved in creating what today is a global scene with hundreds of millions of followers - the RUBBER FETISH SCENE.
It was the time of people like
John Sutcliffe, publisher of the legendary ATOMAGE magazine, whom JH now and then supplied with unique rubber fetish photos,
Allen Jones, at that time (and maybe still today) the most influental and famous pop art artist on the planet, to whom JH stood in friendly contact,
Vivienne Westwood, cult star of the British and then global fashion and punk scene,
Steve English, founder of DEMASK, globally the first big latex fashion company, whose designs and catalogues were inspired by JH and his pictures,
and quite a few others.
Inevitably, PLAYBOY also became aware of the fetish activities of their famous photographer. Although this was not a topic for the rather conservative magazine, PLAYBOY Television Inc., USA, sent a film team to Natalia Muehlhausen's estate to produce a lengthy report about the fetish work of Natalia (middle, middle and below) and JH.
For his cover photo for PENTHOUSE VARIATIONS magazine JH became honored in the USA with the award "Magazine Cover Of The Year",
and in 1984 and 1985 two photo art books of JH became published on the subject "rubber fetish", "FETISH RUBBER" and "FEMALE RUBBER".
