Richard Kern: Model Release (Photo and Sexy Books, Vol. 2)

Summary: Richard Kern offers his own aesthetic
Review: When I think of Kern I can't help but go back to the days of his super8 films. The hardcore collection was eons ahead of it's time, most still can't see beyond. Kern is transcendent in his work and this book is a brilliant 'no frills' example. It's as though the images ae bordering on self parody, there are some rather untypically attractive woman as well as the others which shows again Kern's fascination with the female body. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR PORN SHOP MASTURBATION MATERIAL YOU WILL BE ABOUT 30% HAPPY. However, if your new to his work, or even photography as art in general, this is not a world of digital hyper-bole. This is not easy on the eyes, but the more you look through, the more you will appreciae flourescent lighting. Kern is the exact opposite. Don't let my or anyone else's opinion influence you. Check out more samples yourself at www.richardkern.com. It ussually goes over the heads of the not so cerebral, but can easily be embraced by the most common lower degenerate types as well. Too many critics, too few doing anything about it.
