Does anybody really know the "next-generation photographers," the successors to Newton, Lindbergh, von Unwerth, and Ritts? The shots in this volume are an introduction to these newcomers and their accomplished, sexy, romantic work-the best of today's nude photography in black and white. Classic black-and-white photography shows clearly who knows how to take a good picture and who doesn't. The photographers contributing to this volume display their mastery of photography both as a craft and as an art form.
Black-and-white collections of erotic photography abound. In fact, they are so ubiquitous that it becomes a challenge to single out ones showcasing true art. This book features the work of not-so-known photographers whose eye for detail is nothing short of striking. Perhaps what makes it really special is that many of the images portray the naked body as it really is: beautiful, strange, and imperfect.
