My Nude (Photography)

This collection represents the best of a magazine’s photo contest: present the best photographic nude. “Best” means as many different things as there are photographers, models, and cameras – that constraint hardly narrows things down.

As happens so often, the figures are all except one or two slim, twenty-ish, and Anglo in feature and figure. Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful (or at least pretty). I just want to know where all the other ladies went – and, whatever color, age, and shape, who the woman is inside the figure. That’s just me wishing the book was different than it is, though. What it is offers visions from dozens of artists in appealing, un-challenging ways to see the female figure. The little bit of tie-me-up fetish stuff is ignorable, the rest is glorious.
