Book Description

June 13, 2012
Featuring stunning couture images, this book presents renowned fashion photographer Cathleen Naundorf's work with Polaroid photography from the past six years. Whether the incredible pieces of haute couture were designed by Chanel, Dior, Gaultier, Lacroix, Elie Saab, Philip Treacy, or Valentino, their beauty is preserved in the gorgeous images captured with a large-fromat camera using Polaroid material by Cathleen Naundorf and collected in this book. Her well-hned technique, insprired by her mentor Horst P. Horst, which combines instant film's distinctive colors and shadow with the artist's remarkable instinct, results in photographs that resemble paintings-haunting, muted, and raw. Not only are they a feast for fashion-hungry eyes, but they are also a testament to the talents of this young artist who has forged a formidable reputation in the fashion world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking! July 19, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I usually reserve the word, 'Breathtaking', for the photographs of French photographer, Sarah Moon, and the American photographer, Deborah Turbeville. However, 'Haute Couture: The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf', is in fact a stunning collection of the classic beauty of high fashion and the uniqueness of the timeless Polaroid technique.

At first I felt Naundorf's photographs were a bit derivative of Moon and Turbeville, both 30 years older than Naundorf, but the photographs in this book are so completely spellbinding it's easy to forget the similarities and simply enjoy the beauty within.

'Haute Couture: The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf', does not only capture the viewer with the beauty on every page, the book is aesthetically gorgeous as well.

This book is breathtaking in every sense of the word...perfect.
