Blake has described his work as "erotic fashion," and his films usually include fetish, bondage, and lesbian imagery, often excluding heterosexual intercourse entirely.

[5] Blake's films are characterized by high production values, artistic stylization, and rigorous technique.

His style has been compared to that of the seminal fashion photographer Helmut Newton, and described as "decadent, lush, opulent, unfailingly arousing, moneyed and sophisticated.

"[5] Sex writer Violet Blue says of Blake's work: "It's a whole different genre of explicit erotic filmmaking evident from the first frame -- pure high fashion, glossy candyland fantasy.

[6] Blake featured Dita Von Teese in a 1999 full-length feature film, Pin-Ups 2, which portrayed her as a pin-up girl and highlighted her interest in the fetish and kink lifestyle, and the following year in his 2000 film, Decadence, further popularizing her career as a world-leading fetish burlesque star.
