A publisher of unique and exquisite special interest books teNeues is recognized by cognoscenti throughout the world for quality and innovation. Now, teNeues presents an astonishingly beautiful collection of photographs by Guido Argentini.

The Florentine born Argentini studied medicine at the University of Florence for several years before turning his eye and heart to photography. Adept at shooting models in the studio or in natural landscapes, Argentini has photographed for Vogue, Marie Claire, Playboy, and Max.

With unerring eye his focus is on the female form which, with his camera, becomes a work of art. Silvereye holds a double visual pleasure - the first series of photos was shot at various locations around the world, while the second reveals dancers and gymnasts photographed in a studio.

By covering the female bodies with a thin coating of oil or metallic paint then lighting them to perfection the forms become estimable works of art, both erotic and arresting.

Those with an appreciation of beauty will be delighted with Argentini's work.

- Gail Cooke

Silvereye is a provocative and avante-garde coffee-table book displaying the photographic talent and artistic inspiration of Guido Argentini, an Italian photographer who uniquely captures the unclothed female form. 104 black-and-white duotone photographs present nude female beauty, activity, flexibility, and more in an eye-catching collection of images that reflect and embody the enduring principles of photography as art.

With the differing styles in the book from the Silver coating shots through to the future olympians, all are a pleasure to the eye. His use of tones is marvellous and the print quality of the book does all the images total justice

I just want to second what one reviewer wrote. I was looking very much forward to receiving this book. I placed my order back in July, it's now Nov. and I still haven't received this book. No reason given, Amazon just kept moving the shipping date further and further back until I had finally had enough and canceled my order. Amazon can forget about me using them for any of my holiday shopping this year! If I did no one in my family would get there gifts until May!

This is probably a very beautiful book, I have other books by Argentini that are awsome as well. This is more a comment on Amazon. I normally love to order stuff from Amazon, but I've been waiting over a month and a half for this book to be delivered. Every time the date gets close it's pushed back by another few weeks, or month. There is really no consideraion for you as a customer from Amazon. No discounted shipping, no half-off next order. NOTHING!!! I'm very disappointed in Amazon and this order.

Fab coffee table book. Not recommended for coffee tables accessible to children.I purchased this as a house warming gift for a bachelor friend of mine. He loved it!

I've been trying to buy this book for over a year now and you people keep canceling the purchase.

I love this book, awesome photographs, beautiful models, great work by the photographer. The book is of good size and lots of full page pictures.
