Erotic Flashback [Hardcover]

Michael Berkowitz (Author), Adrienne E. Gusoff (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 7, 2005

The women in Erotic Flashback exude the erotic glow and alluring sensuality of temptresses inviting lovers to bed. They are real women with real desires; each beautiful and sexual in her own, unique way. Berkowitz places his subjects in lavish, textured sets, evocative of Baroque French postcards. They are draped in lush fabrics and opulent accessories, collected from his travels all over the world--Thai silks, Oriental carpets, Kashmiri embroideries, Indian jewelry. His women recline languorously on pillowed divans, stand challengingly beside elaborate screens or sprawl in comfortable chairs, as if awaiting approach. Were these photos were taken last week or last century? It is difficult to say. These models range from tall to short, dark-skinned to fair, full-figured to sparrow-like, and they are all 100% natural, with no plastic surgery or augmentations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Package, But That's It, October 12, 2005

This review is from: Erotic Flashback (Hardcover)

This book, although small dimensionally, contains over 300 images in 285 pages - but it is still a big disappointment. Yeah, it comes nicely packaged with a neat, sturdy little slipcase and all, but the content is pretty unoriginal. Although none of the models can pass for vintage erotica models , this could have worked rather nicely with some originality and variation. I guess they tried to make up with quantity what the book lacked in quality. Please see the images I have posted and read my comments - I'll let you judge for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pure pleasure make, August 1, 2006

By 

Liam Benz "NY" (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Erotic Flashback (Hardcover)

Sexy maidens in sumptuous settings. A wonderful pure and sexy Erotic Flashback. Sensual, tempting and full of suspense. There is little written text, so whether the buyer is English- or French-speaking (or of any other language), the book will be a worthwhile purchase for truly anyone, anywhere in the world. 260 photos on 288 pages. A pure pleasure maker in my eyes!

This review is from: Erotic Flashback (Hardcover)

This is the first book from photographer Michael J. Berkowitz and it is true to the artistic vision that he's crafted over the last several years with his sepia-toned photography. His work is primarily influenced by the work featured on 19th century erotic postcards from France as well as the "Storyville Portraits" of E.J.Bellocq. His lavish, atmospheric nudes are the result in large part due to of his amazing sets. They are draped in lush fabrics and opulent accessories, collected from his travels all over the world; Thai silks, Oriental carpets, Kashmiri embroideries, Indian jewelry, and such. His models recline languorously on pillowed divans, stand challengingly beside elaborate screens or sprawl in comfortable chairs, as if awaiting approach. This is another fine publication from publisher Goliath and features 288 pages.
