EDITORIAL REVIEW

This follow-up volume to the black-and-white Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography celebrates the female form through these studies by top photographers around the world, as well as some impressive new talents. It features the work of 78 photographers (many of whom specialize in nudes), with approximately 8 images each, as well as a short biography and picture of each contributor. Included is a larger than ever number of female photographers, many of whom intriguingly practice the art of self portraiture-a chance to see how gender can sometimes influence the subtle way of looking at the body. There's also a father and daughter team; a photographer who also appears as a model in two other portfolios; the grandson of the famed American photographer Edward Weston; a mix of professional and amateur photographers; and contributions from the UK, USA, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Russia, Argentina, France, Israel, Italy, Poland, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia, and Holland

A Very Good Compilation
~ Written on Aug 2, 2009. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

This was one of the first artistic nudes books I bought. It is certainly a great volume that can provide inspiration for any beginning photographer. This is not a hard erotica volume, more of a compilation of works by many great artists. Would recommend this for any beginner photographer who is interested in getting an overview of many different ways to present a nude female form. The only gripe I have is the format of this book. The volume is simply too thick for its size making it difficult to keep the pages open.

Great art -- Wrong fromat

The photos are wonderful, artistic, tasteful, innovative but I couldn't enjoy them as I might have. The book is short, narrow and thick which means the photos are too tiny and you can't open the pages enough to see pictures close to the spine.

Had this book been 11X14, I would have awarded 5 stars.

This Mammoth book is actually a little paperback. It's filled with fine examples of fine art nude and erotic photography. It is unfortunate that the photographs could not be presented in a larger setting, so the photographers art could be fully appreciated.

A superb collection of erotic nudes.

Jakubowski has put together a fine collection of the best nude photography of a number of different photographers from around the world.The only criticism I have of the book is the lack of any photos that have a beach and/or desert background.

Can you say "Dull"
~ Written on Sep 21, 2006. 14 out of 26 users found this review helpful.

Amazingly this is a book full of unclad women and yet the best word to describe the book IMHO is simply dull. Only a couple of the pictures even inspired the thought, 'I wish this person had developed the nebulous idea they originally had'.
Obviously none of the photographers went out of their way to find attractive models to work with and then didn't bother to use any imagination with the ones they picked up.
This book isn't worth the time to flip through if someone gave it to you.
