Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This exploration women of photographing themselves is beautiful and inspiring. The journal of the young woman who started the project is alluring and criminally erotic.Book Review: Excellent Collection
Summary: 4 Stars
This large hardcover collection of erotic photography is one of the best books of erotica to come along in quite a while. The premise is simple, allow models to photograph themselves in the nude. The result is a memorable collection of unique and borderline voyeuristic images that are just as artistic as they are erotic.
The photographs have an amateur feel to them, you get the feeling you're looking thru the personal photo collections of each lovely young woman, and in a way... you are. The personalities of most of the women come shinning thru in their selected poses. For example, it was easy to see the naughty playfulness of a young blonde woman, who was laughing as she snapped a pantyless upskirt shot of herself. You could tell that she was thinking she might be going too far, but that people would freak when they saw the picture!
Some shots are artistic, some playful and some all-out erotic. Some are in black and white, some in color. Some of the models look like top fashion models, some look like amateurs, but all of the content in the book is top-quality. Full page photos on heavy stock paper makes up the book and it's a fair price for such a large amount of content.
This is my favorite erotic photography book since Roy Stuart, Vol. 4: The Fourth Body (Book & DVD) and I highly recommend it.
Book Review: Excellent book!

Summary: 4 Stars
This whole book is based on an interesting idea! Not exactly ground breaking in the field of female nude photography, but well worth the book: What if the photographer and the model are the same person! Would they go places they would not go with another person in the room? Is the voyeuristic eye of the photographer inhibiting for the model?
For this book, Mr. Ommer served as a "facilitator", someone to instruct the model on generalities and some specifics of the techniques of the photographer, someone to supply the right equipment, and maybe some ideas. Then, the girls took the camera home (or elsewhere) and took some pictures by themselves. At least that's what is claim in the book, and it is certainly believable.
There is a variety on the races of the models, what is often a treat for me, as most collections center on a very specific type of girls. And it seems the ladies on these pictures were very creative!
Again, not ground breaking, but it is a very nice book!
