Kinky Couture (Multilingual Edition) [Hardcover]

Emma Delves-Broughton (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2004

Elegant erotic color and B&W art fetish photos in historical English settings. Fetish-strapped and-bound models are posed out of doors against splendid backdrops of stately gardens, castles, and columned mansions. Inside these aristocratic locales, models are draped provocatively over ornate four-poster beds, lounging against ancient wooden panelling or slipping, scantily clad, into a shadowy wine cellar with nothing but a candle for comfort. From delicate hand-tinted black and white images to sultry, glamorous, atmospheric color, these are art photos that excite

With the exception of a few images (including the one on the cover) this book is much more focused on the couture than the kinky. The latex-clad models look bored rather than aroused, and the artist's interest in clown suits is one I do not share.

I was also surprised to see photographs of men in this collection, since both the reviews and the product description indicated that the models were female. Furthermore, the men she chose were not attractive, and instead of being nude or erotically dressed, they just had on some wild latex gimp suit. Just not my thing.

This was a fun book, but I was a little disappointed with it. While there were indeed many wonderful full colour photos of lovely ladies in lace and leather, the poses were all very generic, mostly straight on with little to no scenery adaptation or activity. Very few of the pictures did anything to excite me beyond the exotic garb. A good buy if you really like kinky-outfits, not so good if you're looking for entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Atmospheric Fetish Fantasy, August 2, 2004

More than just a photography book, this is an atmospheric fantasy ride through the imagination of an exciting new artist. As mentioned in the introduction, Emma Delves-Broughton draws much of her inspiration from the grand 18th Century columned architecture of her aristocratic hometown of Bath, England, and is further enthused by the splendid backdrops of stately gardens, follies, and castles there. She mixes all of this together along with her fascination for fetish clothing, props, and subject matter, and plasters it onto each page with an extraordinary and breathtaking range of photographic techniques. If anything, she is an amazingly talented photographer.

Both color and black & white images are featured here, and most works are saturated with a sultry, glamorous mood which absolutely enhances the sense of uncensored fantasy going on here. Across 108 pages we are treated to a visual smorgasbord of gorgeous models, impeccably made up, strapped and bound and propped-up for our mouth-watering pleasure. This is a marvelous first book for Ms. Delves-Broughton and she's definitely an artist to watch and perhaps .. expect even greater things from.
