Once more Petter Hegre brings us a collection of photos of his wife nude, albeit a different wife to last time. In typical Hegre style we range from impromptu snapshots to highly posed studio shots. Some are very intimate and personal, some are fun, and some very relaxed and open shots wih Luba and her twin sister. The only theme in the book is Luba, and with Hegre's very clear, precise and defined colour style it really comes down to whether you like Luba or not as to whether you like this book. There is no doubt that Hegre is a talented photographer, but this may be too personal to have the broader artistic appeal of abstract nudes. It's a sexy book, but ultimately I think more important to Petter and Luba than anyone else.

In the preface, he states he met twins, and just knew he would marry one of them. This book is a tribute to his wife, who is very beautiful. I would assume she is petite and is clearly slender but not skinny. These are exquisite photographs, using light and shadow and are indoors and outdoors. Luba is a very beautiful young woman, and perhaps the facial shots are the best. While there are no page numbers, the close ups of her face on page 21 and 22 are stunning, and just of her eye area (page 49) is wonderful for the detail. The pictures are a loving tribute and range from dress to complete undress, so there is something for everyone. There are a number of pictures with her twin sister. There is a great variety in the size of the different photographs. A closer examination of the photographs shows an attention to shadow, composition and angle that set this book apart from some others. The book is a joy. However, if one wants a book that covers many beautiful and nude women this book has only one woman. Perhaps the book would have been enhanced with a few less photographs at a slightly lower price but why quibble.

Having seen Hegre's two books/two wives, I wonder if he has any more books in him. It just seems too easy; marry someone attractive, take intimate photos, don't edit too tightly, publish, and move on to the next wife/book. Come on.
I think he could really edit down; the quality seems to be secondary to being more and more explicit. There is no subtlety here, or thought (see Helmut Newton).
I bought his first book, "My Wife", and then just looked at "Luba", just more of the same. Show some range.
