Marketa (English and German Edition) [Hardcover]

Petter Hegre (Photographer), Clifford Thurlow (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2006

Hegre takes us deep into the heart of feminine mystery to uncover Markéta in her many moods, an icon of perfection. It will come as no surprise that Markéta is not a full-time model. At 23, the most captivating age for a woman, she is completing her degree in economics and marketing and remains rooted in Hradec Kralove, the small Czech town of her birth. She is as desirable as a precious object, yet chaste, liberated, and natural. With her all-over tan, even in winter, she is like a mythical creature bursting from a shell, her naked body defining in a sense her own destiny: she is light on her feet, ethereal, impossible to pin down, her fate in her own hands. Markéta radiates the joy of being. She is a jewel. Hegre is a diamond cutter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Model, July 14, 2006

This review is from: Marketa (English and German Edition) (Hardcover)

Beautiful Czech model worthy of an entire book devoted to her pictures. Many of the pictures were quite stylish, but many others have a "men's magazine" feel to them that do not do the model justice. On balance, a worthwhile acquisition if you are a fan of Marketa Belonoha.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid collection of nude photos, January 3, 2007

This review is from: Marketa (English and German Edition) (Hardcover)

Marketa is one of those eastern European models that seems to show up often in current collections. Natural Beauty comes to mind. Hegre has captured her beauty and playfullness in these photos, which have good lighting and composure. One down side for me was they got to be too much of the same basic photo, and a little too posed at times. Not a bad thing with this sort of model, just repetitious.

Over all a good study of the model and I would recommend it to others.

Petter Hegre is a great photographer, I have two of his works and they are both fantastic. But, Marketa is way off the ten scale as far as beautiful women go! A beautiful model and a great photographer made this a standard by which all will be judges. It is all in color, I would have liked to have seen some black & white images though. Enjoy!
