Book Reviews of Inferno
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
As a photojournalist I am in awe of the content of this book. The power of these photographs are unmistakable.
The only thing that bothers me about this book is that when I finish looking at it, I feel there is no hope in the world. I know its the whole point of the book but there really IS hope in this world. Just not in the world of these people. We (people of the West) should really be working harder to change the lives of the people in these countries. Its a global problem that the G8 summits and the United Nations are not assisting enough.
Everyone should see what is going on in these countries.
Book Review: Amazing!! Print Quality.

Book Review: Amazingly tragic and beautifully awful
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this book for roughly four years now and somehow manage to revisit it at least twice a year. The images are hauntingly beautiful. Nachtwey has a real gift for photography, for capturing that perfect image, with the perfect contrast, stark, naked and vivid. I feel as if I have been not merely an onlooker of these devastatingly breathtaking images, but as though I have been there.
Inferno was the first exposure to Nachtwey I had had, and it certainly has not been the last. His work is amazing.
Book Review: An outstanding vision of the sad reality of this world.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not made to be placed in every hands. But everyone old enough to face the sad reality and the ugly side of the human kind should have a look at it.Book Review: Artistic Fraud
Summary: 1 Stars
What a disappointment! This self indulgent wallow in self importance has convinced the photographer and the editor that this is serious art. Don't be fooled. Natchwey's high fashion compositions cheapen the suffering experienced by the subjects. Thanks to the photographer, I expected to see Naomi Campbell walk through the horror of refugee camps in Zaire. As Natchwey voyeuristically fetishsizes his subjects, he loses all sense of time and place. The viewer can't tell if photos are of Chechnya or Kosovo and I don't Natchwey knows either.
