I would give this 5 stars if it were a novel and if the author was a little more in depth on some of his ideas. He wrote in vague generalities, and tended to start repeating himself at the end. I definitely got a good deal of information from this book regardless, and found it to be a great help. After reading this book, although I think it will be quite nerve wracking, I would love to give this artistic medium a try, though I dare say, there were too many "model types" in this book, and I want to see and shoot normal people.

I liked the cover of this book so I picked it up. Inside you are getting all facts on nude photography. Interesting to read about all the poses, the lighting and the techniques. Besides there were many great photos inside to prove the theories. This is a great read even to those who don't practice nude photography themselves :-) You'll get all the background knowledge. Really recommended!
