Nerve: The New Nude

Rating:
Summary: Superb photography
Review: I perused this book in Barnes and Nobles, and I have to say that "The New Nude" was one of the most provocative photography books I've seen. I'm not a photography aficionado, let alone an erotica-photography aficionado, but I have to say, some of these pictures, as jarringly candid about sex as they were, were all rendered beautifully.

Summary: what nerve
Review: I'm sorry. I found this book a little insipid. Not nearly as adventurous as the title would suggest. One would be better served with "Digital Diaries". If your gonna go, go all the way.

Summary: candid and refreshing
Review: There is a great edge to the photos in this book and a real sense that NERVE has it's finger on the pulse of what's "hot".

Summary: A Great collection of Nudes
Review: This is a great book. Why? A few reasons. First off, it is wonderfully published. A good hardback with great quality photograph reproductions. Second, The photographers. This book packs in nudes from fairly famous photographers that get passed by a lot. Each photographer gets roughly three pages of space to have a few photographs, and most of them are great. I am especially moved by the increadible, previously unpublished, waist up portraits of Peter Gorman (naked rooms, naked in apartment 7). Before the photographs are shown, you get a brief biography of the photographer and how he/she goes about their creative process. Its quite interesting to see what motivates some of these guys. I highly suggest this book to any collector of nude/erotic photography. You will be pleased.
