Like Sand from Orchids' Lips [Hardcover]

A. K. Crump (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 8, 2006

In 2005, hundreds of international photographers were invited to capture the charismatic essence of orchids, the sensuality of sand, and the grace of the human form. The best of these compelling images are collected in Like Sand from Orchids' Lips. The first part of the book focuses on orchids, showing the chic blooms in a variety of fashionable settings. The photos in the second half depict ethereal, ever-changing sand formations mimicking or superimposed over the human body. Visually striking and deeply passionate, the book is a worthy addition to any collection.
