As a nude photography enthusiast, I was previously acquainted with the work of about half of the photographers in this compilation. And although some of the pictures are exquisite, there are even more that I would rank as a mere good or average. On the bright side, some of the samples from those I had not heard before actually spike my interest to look for more of their materials... and some to stay away from their work!

I have only breifly scaned the pages twice, but a very diverse group of styles and visions. Most anyone who enjoys the art of the human form will find an artist who is to their taste. A well layed out format, good number os examples for each artist, and good print quality. A real bargin for a living room table book for the uninhibited.

This is a great collection of very inovative and professionally done photography that my husband and I both enjoyed. We would recommend to anyone who enjoys original, color and black and white photography and of course the naked female and male body.

Having bought 'Portraits: The World's Top Photographers and the stories behind their greatest images', I thought I would check out the 'Nudes' book from this same series. I was disappointed with it. My disappointment may be from the fact that the 'Portraits' book was excellent and the 'Nudes' just did not live up to my expectations. If you are interested in a book from this series get the Portraits book. I have not seen the other books in the series so cannot comment on them.
