This gorgeous book features just one model (except once or twice): Murrian's wife, Nancy. She has a native grace and beauty that come through in every picture, enhanced by Murrian's obvious affection for her. Most of these pictures are nudes, and certainly not for anyone shy about genital details. They range from charming honeymoon pictures of the teenage bride, through a wide range of elegant poses and generally romantic settings, apparently covering many of their ten years of marriage. Her erotic potential simmers behind every photograph, and boils over one set of photos early on, then again in the final set that celebrates the Murrians' intimacy together. Even those photos of Nancy and a startling sex toy manages to avoid hard-core vulgarity, at least to my eye.
It's a beautiful book, and a charming tribute to a woman that the photographer obviously loves.

Many collections of nudes are full of dull art-school studies, black&white abstractions that convey little of the electric sexuality of the female form. Other collections try for sexy in the way "men's magazines" do, tawdry but quickly uninteresting in the age of the Internet.
By contrast, Babydoll is in a category all its own. The sole subject is the photographer's gorgeous wife, and the sexual tension and desire of that relationship are reflected throughout. Imagine if a skilled photographer decided to take hot photos of the woman he was really into, to show just how amazing she was to him... this is the result: an oustanding collection of erotic nudes, composed skillfully, capturing the chemistry and desirability of that woman.
The only negative is the small format. The hardbound book is only a little larger than a trade paperback, definitely not coffee-table sized. Ideally I'd want the pages to be about 25% larger than they are.
I'm both an amateur photographer and a connoisseur of beautiful female forms in all types of media-- these are best shot, most electric, sexiest nudes I've seen. (and it turns out the photographer has a web site, if this collection isn't enough!)
I've been ambivalent about this photographer's earlier works, but Babydoll reflects a new level of his art. Highly recommended.

Richard Murrian's muse is perfection embodied. His model exudes the natural/erotic with such subtle power. Her skill at posing and Murrian's talent with his camera come together to compose an unbelievably beautiful portrait of an enchantingly sublime goddess. My only criticism, and it is a minor one, is that the images would have benefitted from being slightly larger. Other than that, the book is exceptional.

Very sexy, very well done photos. Obviously this man has a hot wife and she allows him to take photos. Don't we all wish that. Read more

Disappointed
Simply put, the book was a disappointment. The pictures are neither hot nor beautiful; a failure as an art and of no use as an erotic material.

Good for fans and followers
I have admired Richard's photography, but most of my opinion was drawn from excerpts, and what I'd seen and from his first book (which I own as well). Read more
