This review is from: Contemporary Nude Portraits (Hardcover)

German photographer Ralf Mohr is arguably one of the elite portrait photographers in the world today. He is certainly one of the best at capturing individuals in the nude. Few others can portray their subjects in such revealing fashion and do so in the most respectful and endearing terms. It's almost as if their being nude is completely forgotten, nothing more than a coincidence, and is only a small component of the overall picture.

Both sexes are featured here in fifty-five individual studies, and though many of his subjects are admittedly quite attractive, beauty is not the focus here. Honesty and purity are the core elements. This is not "pop art" nor is it "nude portraiture" but is quite simply very good portraiture. And like all of Mohr's previous publications, Contemporary Nudes is exquisitely created - the main images cover the full breadth of the 11x11" page, it's hardcover, and the print quality is flawless. Quite simply, this is a masterpiece.
