Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Published under the title Allegro Sensible in Germany, The Art of Nude Photography is already a best-seller throughout Europe. Now available for the first time in English, this beautiful oversized volume presents over 160 duotone images of sensuous and sublime female nudes by up-and-coming photographer Pascal Baetens. According to photographer Jeff Dunas, "Baeten's work reveals energy, a discipline, and a love of his subject. Baeten's photography has that essential 'something'-you either have it, or you don't. You can't learn it. That special 'something' is the ability to truly reach your subject-create a vision, and have complete complicity with the object you are photographing." Includes over 150 sublime examples of this up-and-coming photographer's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A knockout, plain and simple, March 5, 2004
By Photopro "Mike" (purcellville, va United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Nude Phtography (Hardcover)
Not many people know the name Pascal Baetens. But they will in a very short time. This photographer is fast on his way to making a huge dent in the world of nude photography.
This is his second monograph, depicting several models in wonderful poses with beautiful settings and lighting. Baetens has a little bit of everything with this series. Usually when you look at a monograph of an artists work, there is a main theme that sticks throughout the book, ie. erotica, figure studies, etc., But Baetens mixes it up, showing his talent of photographing the nude in all ways.
The figure studies in this book are incredible. Close, nicely shadowed and extremely fine grained. Then his location shots, of his models in the woods, on the road, and in corn fields take you away. He is able to shoot on location and make the focus of the photograph not just on the models, but on the landscapes around them.
This is a book that needs to be purchased by any lover of nude photography, or just photography in general. These photographs are beautiful and should be in all collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars very nice, but a little standard, October 19, 2005
This review is from: The Art of Nude Phtography (Hardcover)
i would have to say that only about 25% of the images in this book really stand out. the other 75% remind me of anything a person could shoot with any camera. other than that the photographers chose nice looking models and photographed them well. a good coffee table book, but lacks everywhere else.

3.0 out of 5 stars mediocre choice, April 21, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Nude Phtography (Hardcover)
Do not waste your money on this book. Too many small photos only half filling the pages. The work is good, but the book layout is lame. Get something worth it's weight.
