Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The human physique has always been a central theme of the fine arts. Every body possesses its own singular beauty, and a photographer must recognize this unique style in order to express it. The simple bending of a knee or the tilt of a chin brings out new forms and character traits. Arising from the interaction between artful technique as well as a trusting relationship between photographer and model are veritable masterpieces of nude photography. Top contemporary photographers from Europe and America present their excellent art: from elegant to boldly erotic to provocative.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best collection of Nudes on the market, October 21, 2004
By Photopro "Mike" (purcellville, va United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Naked (Photography) (Hardcover)
This book is a knockout. Its great. In this collection we are given a beautiful look at hundreds of nudes from some of the best photographers in the world along with some unknown, but soon to be known photographers. The printing is great, and the size of the book (roughly 8x12) gives us a great look at detail in the photos. The price is great as well. You really cant go wrong with picking up this book.
Without any real, fetish/voyer work in it, we are left with pure fine art and erotic nudes from cover to cover. I highly recommend this title to all lovers of nude photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Combo Delux, September 2, 2005
This review is from: Naked (Photography) (Hardcover)
I'm not generally a big fan of "combo" books which contain work by many photographers. I prefer a single photographer book because I believe you get more of what the photographer-artist is saying to you with their work when you take it in as a whole, picture after picture. With combo books you keep switching gears and it breaks up the mood. Plus you'll inevitably run into photographers whose work you do not like and that leaves a sour taste.

Having said that bit, this book is absolutely wonderful. It's big, it's bold, it's production quality is ne plus ultra and the photo selection is outstanding. Plus is has one of the best covers I've ever seen. The range shown here is just enough to give variety but still stay in the groove of being in the same game, meaning there's no sudden surprises of weird fetish shots or something thrown in. It's consistent and shows the work of some of the best photographers in the world.

Very well edited and looks great on your end table. Plus it's a steal at that price! What more could you want? I love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only One Complaint, March 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Naked (Photography) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful collection of creative, sensitive, and beautiful nudes--mostly female, many male, and a few with both together. It's the sort of book you'd want to leave out for friends to see, if you wanted to impress them with what good taste you have. The photographs are black-and-white, color, and copper-toned or sepia; a few are quasi-surrealistic, a few portray very soft-core bondage, and many are shot in wonderful natural settings.

My only--and major--complaint with this book, one that tempted me to give it only four stars, is that there are too many photographs divided between both pages. This is of course due to the fact that the size of the photographs required either this treatment or severe reduction. The book measures 8x12, so it affords reasonable size for this kind of material, but I have photographs in other volumes that do not suffer this kind of distracting and aesthetically degrading division. There is truly something to be said for the importance of size.

This collection is well worth viewing, and some of the best photographs could justifiably be cut out and framed.

3.0 out of 5 stars worth a look if you are very much into photography
Loads of photographs, of various quality. might be useful as study tool but not too many images stroke a chord with me.
