Beautiful photos of beautiful bodies, November 11, 2003
This review is from: Modern Amazons (Specials) (Hardcover)
Inside this book you will find pictures of some of the most beautiful female bodies on the planet. Having said that, muscular women do not appeal to everyone. If Playboy centerfolds are your idea of beauty, then perhaps this book is not for you. But for those who can appreciate the aesthetics of a high performance body, then this book will certainly appeal to you. The modern amazons pictured on these pages are beautiful, in the same way that athletes are beautiful. It is a rare opportunity to see nude pictures of women bodybuilders. If you enjoy looking at muscular women in the nude, then this book is definitely for you.

Fantastic Photography - Inspiring Subject Matter!!!, December 16, 2008
This review is from: Modern Amazons (Specials) (Hardcover)
Modern Amazons is the highly anticipated follow-up to Bill Dobbin's first major publication devoted to the muscular female form - The Women. This new work, featuring the new women of bodybuilding, is sure to please Dobbins' devoted fans. Like its predecessor, Modern Amazons explores its beautiful subject matter with a level of respect bordering on awe, and the splendor, indeed the majesty of these women, is staggering. They are if anything, more impressive, their mass and muscularity more pronounced. And though Dobbins tinkers with a bit of cheesecake and glamour, his real strength is the more artistic approach where the beauty of the subject's body is the centerpiece of the portrait. These are the real gems, and there are enough of these in its 192 pages to make this a truly heroic book.
