Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Nude Photography of Rankin is a collection of portraits by the celebrated photographer Rankin. The result of an anonymous ad in London's Time Out magazine for "nude models, all ages, all sizes, for photographic exhibition," this book is a collaboration between Rankin and the women who agreed to stand naked in front of his camera. The faces (and figures) collected in this book range from familiar film, fashion and pop icons to highly individual "ordinary" women, all of whose portraits reflect their feeling and fantasies with style and humor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great models, great photos!, June 21, 2001
The charm of this book is that it features "real people" - not simply supermodels. Photos and the arranged shots were the ideas of the photographer (Rankin), and also the subjects' own.

Some of the "models" are in "artsy" roles and things - bathed in jelly, smeared with ketchup, etc. Nonetheless, all shots are witty, sensual, and provocative. A must have for the Nude library.

5.0 out of 5 stars gorgeous nudes, July 13, 2001
By A Customer
This is one of the best art books I have seen for ages. I love the idea behind the book and I wish I could have been involved in this project- that's how good the photos are!

2.0 out of 5 stars An old idea, poorly executed. , October 22, 2005
There is nothing original in the concept behind this book--photographing supposedly ordinary people in the nude has been done many times before by better photographers. Contrary to the the complaint of another reviewer that some of the models are too ordinary, ordinariness is the point. If there is anything to complain about the models it is that too many of them are young, slim, white women. No, the problem here is that the models are poorly posed in silly locations--this photographer seems to think that best thing to do with ordinary people is to pose them as Helmut Newton would. I know the work of Helmut Newton and Rankin is no Helmut Newton. This book is an insult to the models who posed for it--they deserve better. (By the way, when will photographers, designers, and publishers ever learn that printing an image over two pages with a cavernous gutter in the middle destroys the image--it's a waste of paper.)
