Product Description
Product Description
This title presents the selections of the finest images of the world's leading erotica photographers, including Eric Kroll, Charles Gatewood, Petter Hegre, Chas Ray Krider, Emma Delves-Broughton, Larry Utley, Juan Carlos Rivas, Craig Morey and Gabrielle Rigon. This follow-up volume to the all black-and-white "MBO Erotic Photography" celebrates the nude female form through the colour work of no less than 78 different photographers. Among the contributors are a surprising number of female photographers of the nude, many practicing the art of self-portraiture - a chance to see how gender can sometimes influence the subtle way of looking at the body. Also featured are a father and daughter team; a photographer who re-appears as a model in two further portfolios; the grandson of the famed American photographer Edward Weston; a mix of professional and amateur photographers; and contributions from the UK, the USA, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Russia, Argentina, France, Israel, Italy, Poland, Norway, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Canada, Czechoslovakia and Holland.

Well now...,

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Erotic Women in Photographs (Paperback)
Mammoth in content but dainty in physical size. This is basically a who's who of folks who take photos of the female form. A short bio and selection of a handful of photos from each photographer introduced me to many names I already knew and many more I had never heard of. Some stunning work and of course some not for me, that's the idea I suppose. The one thing I would say is that naked does not mean erotic, while most of the work is undoubtedly erotic, some is just portraits without clothes. Beautiful, but not erotic.

Today's nudes,
By wiredweird "wiredweird" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women (Paperback)
Beautiful nudes, all of them, but rather subdued to anyone looking for serious erotica. The majority of these photos are figure studies, just a simple celebration of women's youthful beauty. Many of the women have pierced this'n'that and many have tattoos, from the demure on up. In some, the marks are just the ones left by the sun or by nature (p.378 - charming!). A few add simple props, like the cover's gauzy scarf. A few others add wit in the form of a piece of fruit (p.450) or a flower (p.380)
For many artists, the erotic comes not just from nudity, but from undress. That genre displays clothes and underclothes in various states of removal. Others see lingerie as decoration in itself, ranging up to stylized, impractical items worn for their play value alone. Along that axis, pictures range from innocent to intense kinds of pinups. The outer ranges of these pictures add moderate bondage, improbably high heels, or other mild fetish elements. A few suggest or show physicality between women or of a woman with herself. The very few pictures that cross over into hard core seem decidedly out of place amid generally tasteful and elegant images. The models are all lovely, but are all just anonymous models. Other collections assign a name (or at least a pseudonym) to each, an acknowledgement of the person in front of the camera that this collection does not allow. And, as in so many collections, European features, 20-ish and thin, predominate by a large margin. The world has so many other colors, ages, and shapes of beauty that this collection, despite more then 450 pages, comes across as incomplete. Also, I have to wonder how this collection will look in twenty years - skin has always been there, but pierced and inked skin are today's look and that will pass in time. Despite these few flaws, the collection is lovely and enticing, a worthwhile part of any collection of figure photography. //wiredweird 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Like a jumbo shrimp,
By Jason Nadler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women (Paperback)
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 Very Good Compilation,
By Art Photo Fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Erotic Women in Photographs (Paperback)
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.
