Bruno Bisang (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2004

Swiss photographer Bruno Bisang has been on a life-long artistic quest to document the unending, multi-faceted varieties of the feminine mystique. His photographs are more than mere idealisations of the female form. They are expressions of Bisang's desire to record the independent spirit of his subjects - international models and celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks and Monica Belluci. This collection of exquisitely observed photographs is a luminous distillation of essence and form, "a record of woman's radiance" that expresses Bisang's belief that "every woman possesses a fount of femininity and unique sensuality". Bruno Bisang is a much sought-after Swiss fashion photographer who lives and works in Zurich, Milan, Paris and New York. He photographs advertising campaigns for many of the major fashion houses and his work appears regularly in magazines such as Vogue, Max and GQ. His book Photographs was published by teNeues in 2000.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo to Bisang and Teneues!, February 18, 2005

This review is from: Exposure (French Edition) (Hardcover)

Sensitively rendered yet erotically charged images of the female form, made all the more sublime by stunningly high production values. Oversize format, exquisite printing, and superlative content combine to make this a monograph instant classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars And he does it again!, March 31, 2006

This review is from: Exposure (French Edition) (Hardcover)

Bruno Bisang must be considered as one of the greatest photographers of the nude, ever. I'd already owned and gushingly reviewed his earlier book "Photographs", and called it one of the best black and white art nude books ever. Then this baby comes along and demonstrates that he's as good in color as he is in monochrome.

The book is big, bold, and it's production quality is fantastic. Well worth the price. So many wonderful, and even challenging, shots here, Even the cover, when I first saw it (from the just the front) I thought, "Wow. Such great composition", and then I picked up the book and saw the image continued to the back and is a remarkable full nude showing the model's delightful body presently in a pose that dances on the edge of erotica while keeping itself in the realm of soft art nude. His lighting technique, his unique vision of composition, and his obvious sensibility of what is "sexy" without going over the edge is astounding.

I thought he was great when I saw the previous book. This one raises him yet further in my list of favorites. I cannot wait for the next one!

Definitely, one of the best!

I've got an entire shelf of books on nude photography, but this is certainly one of the best. No "average people are beautiful too" here -- all the models are gorgeous and well developed. The pics are in both color and black & white, and usually take up the full page. Heavy paper, large size, tasteful clear photos, and gorgeous women. Fantastic.
