 Beautiful: Nudes by Marc Baptiste
|
A long overdue labor of love that pours out a molten passion for the beauty of women of color. It is a passion tempered by an earthy, sensible, persuasive intelligence that embraces difference: in age, body type, skin tone, hair texture, and temperament. Photographer Marc Baptiste pays tribute to a glorious spectrum of women. He treasures the drama inherent in pursuing the elusive physical presence of his subjects. Empathetic, subtle, lush, graphic, and generous in range, his pictures compel the viewer to inhabit his multifaceted reverie. |

Black Ladies
|
Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned works, as this book eloquently attests.
For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the stunning landscape of Africa. Callxthe Beyala, born in Cameroon, is one of the leading Francophile African poets. The texts in this book were written especially as a commentary on the photography of Uwe Ommer. |

Edward Weston: Nudes
|
Bare breasts and buttocks took on another dimension when Weston was behind the camera; his headless torsos more closely resemble the work of painters and sculptors than the passionless images of ladies decapitated by Friedlander and other contemporary photographers. Charis Wilson's memoir of posing for (and living with) Weston--and her under-the-skin take on the thought process behind his nude studies--is fascinating. |

Intimate : Nudes by Marc Baptiste
|
The award-winning and renowned photographer behind the lens of Beautiful, Marc Baptiste offers us another very intimate look at women.
Baptiste's inspired, unique, and sensual classicism is bolder than ever in Intimate. Surpassing standard portraiture, his photographs manifest a strong eroticism while incorporating the cinematic power of his fashion work. Intimate highlights Baptiste's passionate, intelligent, and seductive approach to capturing the essence of femininity and beauty. This book is sure to appeal to all admirers of the female form. |

Naked Happy Girls
|
Naked Happy Girls is Andrew Einhorn's first book and judging from its success, it will not be his last. It's a brilliant collection of nudes incorporating numerous young women and consists of an amazing 368 pages. Shot entirely in black & white, each series includes a preface on his relationship with the model as well as thoughts on their work together. He is refreshingly honest in his assessments and it is crystal clear that both he and each of his pretty subjects thoroughly enjoyed the photo-session, hence the book's title. This is a spectacular, festive, and wonderful book! |
