Book Reviews of Private Rooms
Book Review: Excellent photography, beautiful models, great book
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of all of the photography books that I have or seen, this one is definitely in my top five favorites.
The layout of the book is very nice. It has a velvety cover under the dust cover and is a very good size for viewing.
The photography is great. Silvereye wasn't really to my personal preference but Private Rooms is. They are images from shoots throughout the years in one collection taken in different hotel rooms, apartments, etc. The photographer seems to mostly use ambient light - a mix between tungsten and window light. Probably a somehwat high ISO, the images are still very low grain and are very clear with nice colors and tones. Very nice compositians, nice lighting, sexy poses,... all very tasteful.
The models are some of the most beautiful models I've seen in just about any book - there isn't a medeocre looking girl in the whole book - all are just phenomenally gorgeous. Most images are partial nude, some with latex gloves, high heels, elegant jewelry,... a lot of accessories, etc.
I definitely recommend this one.
Book Review: Excellent set of photographs
Summary: 5 Stars
Argentini has produced a superb collection of fine figure nude photography.The only criticism I have is that the photogragh on the book cover is not contained in the set of pictures contained inside the book itself.Book Review: Fantastic book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this photographers work. Beautiful, compelling and very well done! The theme of private rooms/hotel rooms makes the images have a certain story behind the provocative style.Book Review: Great book
Summary: 4 Stars
For starters: this book is a monster. I had the package dropped off in the mail room and wondered, "what the hell did I order?" The box was massive and weighed a ton... I thought I may have ordered a slab of bricks and forgot.
Once inside I opened the package. I quickly realized this was a well printed book. From the padded felt cover colored in red, to the nice paper that gripped your fingers. That, alone, made up for the cost.
Ibegan going through page by page. The color was all vivid. The women were beautiful and the poses were elegantlly seductive. I turned each page to find something new and exciting.
After about 50 or so pages, I began to get restless. It was almost TOO much book to be consumed all at once. I went through 10 more pages and decided to put it down. My mind couldn't properly digest everything it was taking in and I needed a break. 2 or 3 hours later I sat down to view more. This time viewed 20 pages before I had to close the book. The photography was great and the concepts are executed with precision. As a budding photographerI was overwhelmed with his skill. It was too much for me.
I have gone back to the book several times. I have probably viewed each image 2 or 3 times by now. There are some images that still resonate in my mind. It's definitely a book I would suggest to others.
I show many of my models, makeup artists, and wardrobe stylists. They react with different opinions. Some see it as trash. Others see it as art. Annd ohers are indifferent.
Book Review: Great with one exception
Summary: 4 Stars
The imagery presented in this book is truly stunning and imaginitive. As a man that truly appreciates both beautiful women and photography, my only criticism is that the body types of the models could have been a little more varied, Otherwise, this a great book.
