The Nude Photography of Rankin : Models Wanted Any Age, Any Size

Rating:
Summary: Bad models, bad photos
Review: After reading some of the other reviews of this book, I have to wonder if they were looking at the same book! I found this volume hugely disappointing, so much so that I returened it the very next day for a refund. There are models that are so fat that you can't find their belly-buttons, models with bruises on thier legs, all lit to look like medical specimens. If that's your cup of tea, then this book is for you. To me it looked like a collection of the photographs that would normally be edited from a book of this sort.

Summary: Great models, great photos!
Review: The charm of this book is that it features "real people" - not simply supermodels. Photos and the arranged shots were the ideas of the photographer (Rankin), and also the subjects' own.

Some of the "models" are in "artsy" roles and things - bathed in jelly, smeared with ketchup, etc. Nonetheless, all shots are witty, sensual, and provocative. A must have for the Nude library.

Review: This is one of the best art books I have seen for ages. I love the idea behind the book and I wish I could have been involved in this project- that's how good the photos are!
