4.0 out of 5 stars Glamour with a touch of spice, April 1, 2002

This review is from: Snaps (Hardcover)

I should start by saying that this review could be slightly bias, as Ellen Von Unwerth remains my favourite photographer. Generally, the combination of the large size of the photos, printed to the very edges of the pages, and a seemingly different texture ont he paper makes for an incredibly attractive book. Then to top it off, the book is packed full of some of the most interesting black and white photos I have seen so far. The photos are a mix of models in hotel rooms, and people on the streets, with all the glamour and darkness of the subjects blending into one another really well. The contrast in the photos is remarkable, and yet in some photos there seems to be an uncanny lack of depth. The definition and detail is fantastic, but as the background becomes darker, it can almost seem to disappear. It is a great book to sit back with at night, and have a few glasses of good red wine.
