Summary: If you study B&W photography buy this book
Review: This is an excellent book showing Sieff's Balck&White photographic work from the 1950's to 1980's. (287 pages worth)If Mr. Sieff has picked all the plates himself for this book then he has chosen very well because it shows his development as an artist over several deacdes. The only pictures I would have personally edited from the book were the four images from the Catacombs in Palermo 1982, they belong in another type of photo book. The photo's vary from the abstract to landscape and sum up into a pleasant blend of images. The book itself is a great example of quality bookprinting and the page size is just right to give good area for the photos. To Mr. Sieff I would like to say; "Please go ahead with the planned book; Homage to a 127 bottoms!"

Summary: Absolutely mezmerised
Review: Unfortunatly, I have not had the privilege to view this book, but about another from Jeanloup Sieff which I was fortunate enough to recieve as a birthday gift. This softcover A4 format is unfortunately not among your choices. The subject, "BOUDOIR
PHOTOGRAPHY". In my opinion, a masterpiece of erotiek sensuality. Unfortunately, I have lost this collection of works and so wish to find the same back again. When operating my business as a Photographer in Holland (now retired) I had always tried to simulate his work to no avail. I
shall keep trying, for he has captured the very "ESSENCE" of Womanhood. With highest respect to Jeanloup Sieff Regards

Summary: Amazing photgraphs, except at the end of book
Review: When I bought this book, I though that is another good monography of some french photographer, but nothing special. After 5-10 pages I realised, that this book is no ordinary, but express everything becouse I prefered photography itself: The timeless moments, game between light and dark in soft impressive shadows, and the most important: extreme simplicity of composition, wich is made Jeanloup a master. I was dissapointed only at the end of book, when the autor include some average photos, which takes a delicate shadow. But probably is difficult to select almoust 300 photos and stayed impartial.

Summary: A stunning collection of this master's greatest pictures...
Review: Where do I begin? This book is so full - full of talent and inspiration, full of insights and facts, but most importantly it is full of beautiful, visually intoxicating photographs. Gee, can you tell I liked it? From beginning to end it remains consitently captivating, whether the subject is lanscapes, shadows, bottoms (which he professes his affection for more than once), or fashion, his pictures take you with him through his decades of experience from budding young photographer to a true master. The price for this huge volume of work is so incredibly low that I highly recommend buying it, it's more than worth it.
