The range of photos and types of models is remarkable, and while they certainly have things in common, Staudenmaier seeks out each girl's special charm, whether a look or a body part or a pose or setting. These photos are vibrant, daring, bold and sexy, without ever resorting to clichés. There are girls with guns and girls in latex. There are lots of very cute pairs of underwear. I'm partial to one stunning redhead and many of the two-girl sets. All of these photos, taken for the site Burning Angel, are very direct; though posed, they have a candidness about them that lets the models' beauty, as well as their quirks, shine through. My favorites here are ones I call the "whoops" photos, ones where the girls are looking at the camera like, "Whoops, I forgot I had my clothes off. Silly me!" There's something slyly sexy about those shots, like Barely Legal girls gone wild in a way Joe Francis would never condone. They're wild because they allow themselves to be, and so does Staudenmaier.
This is a must have for all punk rock type girl fans. The pictures are very beautiful in good quality. There are so many different themes of girls outside, girls inside, girls with guns, almost every girl has a tattoo or a whole body full of them and are very interesting to look at the tattoos and their style, girl on girl kissing and stuff, girls in latex, girls holding goldfish, but "The Lovely Brenda" the photographer, does an amazing job of mixing the color of the girls clothes and body with the surrounding background so it matches perfectly. 90% of the girls in the book were beyond beautiful, and of course everyone has their own tastes but there were a few girls I was like, blah bad picture and unattractive girl, but I love the book and recommend it definitely.
On a last note, PLEASE do not buy this for your 13 year old son. This is not a book of just models like you'd see in teen magazines, these girls are naked. Breasts, and other female parts are completely visible and pointed out! Keep in mind its for adults, and shouldn't be kept where kids can get it or they're gonna start asking questions they are too young to ask!
Brenda's photography is well known to anyone that has read Vice Magazine's popular "Do's and Don'ts" column. Her work with Burning Angel has helped define the alt porn world.
Basically, if you like beautiful girls with tattoos, attitudes and incredibly sexy bodies then buy this book!

But that's not all.
It really takes some effort to look past this book's avalange of Nudity -- but if you do so, you will recognize the tasty composition of each photo. Which carries us straight to the somewhat hidden main attraction of 'Burning Angel': the quality of female photographer Brenda Staudenmaier. She reallys succeeds to melt all the said elements into a highly unusual photobook.
