Summary: The Seduction of the Viewer!
Review: This book is a celebration that proves photography is truly an art form. It's a mesmerizing journey for the viewer that is at once both seductive and meditative. For anyone not familiar with Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer, this large collection of 113 color and 104 black & white images from the period 1980-2000 are a stunning introduction to this man's art. We are presented with still-life, beautiful landscapes & beaches, and, of course, some of his best shots of young and beautiful boys alone and in pairs. Actually there is a little bit of everything included in this fabulous collection that will entertain, inspire, shock, and seduce you. These are images that will linger on your mind long after being viewed.
I only wish I had discovered this creative photographer sooner, and not missed out on his first collection of images from 1970-1980. This is a book every fan or student of photography should experience. The opening photograph of the male model in the Pfeiffer's shirt would have made a great ending for the book. The shadowing and lighting is perfect in this black and white image. A Great Job!!! Joe Hanssen
