5.0 out of 5 stars Magic on the streets of Paris, March 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Up & Down (Eye Wink) (Hardcover)

The premise is simple: a professional photographer approaches women on the streets and in the cafes of Paris and he asks them to show him their breasts. And, pulling their shirts up & down, they do. The result is electric. The women are beautiful in a natural way, not in some airbrushed slick magazine style. They are daring, exposing themselves in public to a stranger, often with other people nearby. The women are playful, impish, naughty, erotic and heart-achingly real. You will wish that you were there and you will be thankful that these moments were created and captured and shared.

5.0 out of 5 stars A charming book, April 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Up & Down (Eye Wink) (Hardcover)

This is a collection of photographs of women being a little daring in their everyday surroundings.

The women are charming and the photographs are well-made.

This book is a bargain. It is superbly printed, and the layout is simple and elegant.

By the way, I don't buy the publisher's contention that these women were happened upon. There was probably a lot of pre-planning and a selection process of some sort long before the pictures were made. However, the pictures do possess a casual and innocent spirit that the photographer should be proud of.

This review is from: Up & Down (Eye Wink) (Hardcover)

Great book, should have been done a lot sooner. So simple, so well layed out and most of all so charming. All black & white photos, no text to try and turn this book into something it was never suppose to do. He asked, they showed, he shot. At must to have, wish I had thought of this.
