Book Reviews of Tokyo Lucky Hole (English and German Edition)
Book Review: Araki's Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
The man is a genius. Take the cover photo. He didn't just throw a [woman] in a shower and snap some photos--though that may be a salutory idea. Compare it to the companion photo in the sample photos. The light and therefore the shadows, have moved, the towel has moved, and in both pictures the contours of the light, the shadow, and the folds of the towel track and repeat lines created by the model's pose. There are three circles in the cover photo--the shower hose, the model's [figure], and her face, and the cascade of water seems to close the circle created by the shower hose. Throughout the book are amazing photos like this, with stunning elements of light and composition, although there is a reason why this one is on the cover. You occasionally see Araki in the photos, although never without his sunglasses (or in one case, a mask). If you have any interest in photography at all, you should buy this book.
