Summary: Excellent form, full-size images, quality production
Review: Morey is back with a new book, and this time it is largely new and full-sized. The images themselves are classic Morey, many focusing purely on the form of the subject, almost abstract. Others actually hint at some of the model's personality, which is rare in this kind of book. The veiled face in plate 18 is one of my favorites in this regard.

I gave an earlier Morey book poor marks for production, but this one is excellent. The paper is heavy and shows excellent contrast, and the book is what I consider full-sized, with the images taking up the bulk of each page, still leaving enough margins to let you really look at it flat-on. This is the kind of photography book I like to see.
