3.0 out of 5 stars
Not quite spot on, 12 Nov 2002
By A Customer
The first thing that comes to mind when I open this book (which admittedly I don't do very often, because it is not that great), is the vivid colors. This is partly due to the kit the people in the photographs wear, being primarily clubbing style leather/rubber/pvc, heels and boots, corsetry and jewerly (including chains and piercings). The photographer has also used a lot of photographic techniques to enhance the color schemes in the pictures. Result is pretty and 'appetising'. It is a small book, measuing approximately 20 cms tall and 15 cms wide, and each page has a pagesized image, often in series of three or four images per model.This is not a collection of impersonal erotica, it is a collection of people with articulated charisma and attitude. Every picture is a portrait of sorts, where the person (usually female) is a display of her fantasy/fetish and the pictures typically, with perhaps a few exceptions, convey candid and honest, and therefore seemingly real portraits. It is not like the photographer has thrown them a bunch of extreme outfits and asked them to pose, they have it in them already. They are lifestyle people. Some pictures are somewhat extreme, but overall the collection is quite tame and perfectly fine to leave out in the open, or at least visible in your bookshelf. I personally would not put it on the coffee table however. A lot of piercings, stockings, lingerie, shiny outfits, roped breasts and clamps, corsets, collars, cuffs and chains, a few toys, not many whips, quite a few naked bottoms.. There are some amazing tattoos on some of these girls. Wow. Now, I am giving this book three stars, primarily because I am so tired of the lesbian undertones these types of collections tend to present as if that is a fetish in itself. And this is not because I am a heterosexual female. Additionally, while there are some stunning people, and stunning scenes, it puts me off to see bondage scenes where the rope is nearly falling off the subject, or where he or she is gripping the ropework with both hands as if to hold it in place. I think it deserves doing properly if included in a book like this.
