Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing compilation
Review: I really like this work. May be some pictures don't have enough quality but as a whole, this work is amazing. It awakes us the voyeur side of each one, our eye is in every picture.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: The cover and bindings of this book are great. I love the black pages. The pictures are disappointing. All small black and white pictures that are underexposed. Not worth the Money. There are much better photographs out there. I didn't feel like I was a voyeur. I felt like I was looking at a bunch of poor quality photographs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Look Away
Review: The intention of this book was probably more profound. Its intention to draw any reader (non-voyeur or voyeur) into a world of voyeurism ... by framing each photograph with thick black borders, its intention was to convey as if we were there "secretly" peering and privy to a private and secret moment.

Unfortunately, it fails on several levels. Of course, grainy low-res black and white photographs are an esthetic choice - in this case, the choice certainly does not add any value to this collection - but more importantly, it fails on the level that there's no real point to these photographs ... and no real message other than just a random series of photographs of a similar subject. With no artistic point or message, it's really just a series of grainy black and white, not-very-erotic photographs. All and all, a fairly pointless book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I like to watch
Review: This book is a wonderful tribute to the voyeuer in all of us. The images are tantalizing - you feel a little a little naughty every time you turn the page - but it's almost impossible not to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beautiful and Intense
Review: Voyeur is a beautiful book filled with top-notch images that that deliver an intensely sexualized look at the world. Often the images derive their power from the rawness of clandestine photography, but to characterize Voyeur as entirely raw or clandestine would be inaccurate. The book explores a range of perspectives. Sometimes the pictures are nothing more than a gentle glance at a stranger in a compromised position, while other images seem to be made by someone enjoying the wildest night of his life. Some of the pictures are dark and shadowy while still others are sharp and precise. Voyeur is a book that can take you from an innocent glimpse of panties to a run-down backroom and leave you enthralled at any point in-between.

There is another aspect to Voyeur. It's a book that combed art history and mixed up sexy pictures from the most renown photographers with paparazzi photos, anonymous snapshots and images made by up-and-coming photographers. From a design, art historical or purely emotive point of view, Voyeur is an A+.

If you expect something Playboy-esque, for under the bed or on the toilet, you'll probably be disappointed. If you think that good photographs can only be made by following the rules printed on Kodak packaging, you'll probably be disappointed. If you find yourself undressing strangers with your eyes, then this is the book you've been waiting for.
