Fresh: Girls of Seduction (Hardcover)

by Dave Naz (Photographer), Matthew Gleason (Introduction)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The mystique of the young girl receives a sustained erotic performance of innocence and sexual frankness in Fresh. Naz compounds the intensity through a tight range of setups, that enables these adult women, who exude the Lolita type, to playfully suggest or display their sexual allure. We may all be advanced enough to know that Lolita is not as entirely innocent as she and half of society would have you believe. Dave Naz has gathered an eclectic mix of candidates to complete your Lolita fantasy or confirm your certainty over its debasing potency. The narrative in your mind heats up when you discover her.

... a true southern California artist. His sexy imagery is casual without pretense. When one looks beyond the surface, the work is seen as much more: a cultural artifact giving clues to the sexual identities and persona of our time. -- Chas Ray Krider

4.0 out of 5 stars Girls, Girls, Girls..., February 6, 2007

By	Andrew (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

There are close to 400 color pages of very sexy, very naked, and very young-looking girls in this book, so it's hard to say a bad thing about it. Oddly enough, though, although all of these girls have spectacular young bodies, I only found about half of them to be truly pretty. To me it would have made more sense to put out a 200-page book of only the prettiest girls instead of a nearly-400-page book that contains a lot of filler. But then again, who am I to complain: the pictures are sharp and clear, the girls are wonderfully-naked, many of them are gorgeous, and there are plenty of them to go around.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, April 25, 2007

By	Andrew Kittross (Lawrence, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book features a dozen or so models in the type of layouts normally seen in girlie or soft porn magazines. However, the book suffers from the drawback of being significantly smaller than a typical magazine. Also, the girls are not especially young or pretty. You're much better off sticking with the magazines or going for an art photography book that's a little more orginal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly demure, November 20, 2007

By	Bennett Theissen "chillroom" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this book because the magazines that publish these photos, titles like Tight, Purely 18, and Finally Legal, tend to fall apart over time, plus the paper used is thinner and has lots of bleed-through from other pages, and I wanted a more permanent copy on nice thick paper stock. Erotic photos like these are a form of raw visual poetry, and on that level this collection succeeds admirably, but I am disappointed to find that the book stays away from the "harder," more graphic material found only in the magazines. As to the other reviews, this is far from the "kiddie porn" accusation, and the young ladies are very attractive, though I would imagine every individual reader would choose different models as their favorites. I am glad I got this, but I do wish it were "harder." As it is, it's surprisingly demure. Still, you get Teagan and Loli and many of the top young ero-models of the naughty 00's.
