This beautiful book picks up where Murata's first book Japanese Princess leaves off. The stunning beauty of his Japanese nymphs is utterly enchanting. But in Princess of Desire we are made privy to a vision that is deeper and perhaps a bit darker. The maidens are lovely, and the hand-painted prints are stellar, almost fantastical, but the fetishistic sexuality is paramount. Urination and even defecation play a role here. But the central feeling here is the posturing of these young women as lavish participants in sexual rituals. And it's quite moving. This is a dreamworld unlike any other and Murata is in full command of his artistic vision throughout this work.

Princess of Desire will amaze all fans of nude, fetish, and art photography and except for a few edgy scenarios, the imagery contained within is absolutely breathtaking. The artist from Osaka, Japan does it again.

The beautiful and commanding mistress that is Inna Zabrodskaya, together with her husband and photographer, Ivan Kay, have once again created an erotic documentary of their sexually-charged lifestyle that is absolutely mind-blowing. Like their earlier book, My Wife and Her Lovers, Inna engages in grabby-feely sex with a variety of partners (this time with five male and two female lovers) whilst her husband captures the action with his camera.

This would not work so well were it not for Ivan's fantastically creative composition as well as Inna's delightfully intoxicating ease when handling her men and their engorged and yearning genitalia. With over 200 magnificently composed photographs this book is sure to satisfy everyone wishing to explore a woman's desire for extra-marital erotic adventure.

This book is a documentary tour de force that explores the swinging lifestyle in America. The intimacy of Naomi Harris' photographs is startling and is what makes this book such a noteworthy publication. America Swings is not populated with images of silicone-enhanced porn stars or even individuals that are particularly exhibitionistic. It's a showcase of the everyday folks that make up this lifestyle - and this is what makes this work so amazing. That the participants allowed Ms. Harris such complete, uninhibited access is almost mind-boggling. We are allowed to witness not only nude parties and other social activities, but also their sexual encounters, including orgies.

Its product dimensions are widescreen cinematic at 19x16" (48x40cm)! And there are essentially two editions to this book: the Standard Edition and the Art Edition, which is limited to 100 signed & numbered copies.

This is one of 2008's most pleasant surprises and hits the mark perfectly for all those interested in fashion, modeling, and nude photography. Marc Lagrange is a fashion photographer based in Belgium. His work is probably best known in Europe but this collection proves that he deserves a much wider audience. Technically, his images are of the highest caliber and showcase a thorough mastery of light, design, and decorum. Stylistically, the work featured runs the gamut from fashion-themed material all the way to fine art portraiture. However, the defining element here is the nudity. Almost every shot features a slender, gorgeous young woman in various states of undress, and more often than not, completely nude. Many images feature groups of models. The make-up, the settings, and the subjects themselves are all fashionably perfect.

Dimensions are 13x11" (33x28cm) and it contains 157 full-size photographs. Included is an interview with Lagrange (in English) as well as personal insights peppered throughout the book that discuss his methodology, approach, and such. Another thing done well is the index of photos cataloged at the end that provides technical and title information for each photo. A nice touch.

Lust is a beautiful, highly polished production jammed full of naked european fashion models. What's not to love?

The renown photographer and filmmaker known simply as Rankin chose a single model that inspired him beyond all others and devoted three years to her. Keep in mind that he had access to countless supermodels, actresses, and various starlets. But he chose Tuuli .. and with good reason. She possesses the flawless beauty of a supermodel capable of a wide range of looks. But it's her personality that shines throughout this work. She's no caricature - she comes off as vibrant, warm, and seems to possess an infectious sense of humor that makes her instantly likable. Yes, she's gorgeous, and is one of those rare human beings who could be described as physically perfect. She is an even greater presence photographed nude than with the latest fashions adorning her young frame. But Rankin shatters that air of infallibility, that we ourselves would adorn her with, and concentrates on her beautiful character that makes her much more accessible and perhaps attainable.

With dimensions of 32 x 25 cm, this is a big, beautiful book, well worthy of such a large and prodigious effort. Photographers, collectors, models, fashionistas, and most everyone will all be inspired by this most amazing publication.

Working out of Paris, France, Bruno Poinsard is a rising star in the world of fashion photography. Tropical Blend is his first book. And it's a fantastic introduction to his work, especially his beauty photography and nudes. It features a wide and breathtaking variety of models from the fashion world, generally set about in lush, tropical settings. If lovely, lithesome, naked beauties, taken from the pages of magazines such as Vogue, Harpers, and Glamour are your thing, then this is your book. And together with Poinsard's superb photography and creative composition, this is one fantastic publication for lovers of the female form.

Luis Durante has reached a powerful milestone here. Private Passion is without question an amazing body of work, and it will almost certainly take the viewers breath away as he or she peruses through it. But I can envision unprepared latte-drinkers, in bookstores all over the world, suddenly spilling their drinks in total surprise as they leaf through this intensely sexual dreamscape. It's shocking!

But it's beautiful too. Unbelievably beautiful. Durante's style is revolutionary. His photographs are explosions of color, style, and composition. And his exclusive partnership with longtime muse, Idoia makes for a dynamic experience that is completely and utterly uninhibited. She does everything for Luis and she is the sole subject of this work.

Private Passion is an artistic vision of jagged incongruities. But that's it's strength. Page after page we are ensconced in Idoia's angelic, doll-like beauty. But Durante melds this rapturous schoolgirl aura with brazen, sexual exhibitionism. Idoia exposes, props-up, and postures her sex in almost every shot. The images of her fisting herself and playing with a variety of oversized sex toys is countered by shots of her frolicking like a delirious, carefree maiden in the woods. So beautiful, so innocent, and at the same time, so unabashedly sexual, Idoia is a schoolgirl Cleopatra whom we cannot stop looking at. She's hypnotic.

There are certain images in this book that are absolutely rapturous, where every element comes together for one powerful, glorious moment. The closeup of Idoia sliding a cola can into herself is one such image. The color, the texture, the impossibility of it all perfectly document Durante's genius. This is not a book of art photography that all will enjoy - it's undoubtedly too provocative for some. But for those who can withstand the heat, this is an electrifying work of art.

Yasuji Watanabe is the editor-in-chief of the Japanese cult magazine, SNIPER, and is also considered to be one of Japan's leading non-conformist art photographers. Radical in the tradition of the old master Nobuyoshi Araki, Watanabe has nonetheless, crafted his own individual methodology and visual style here, which is based, in part, on some of the fashion trends taking place among Tokyo's youth. Whimsical and fun it may be - but make no mistake about it - this work is charged with a high-voltage sense of all things erotic. Watanabe's subjects are captured in the most playful of settings, but their brazen sense of provocative nudity and sexuality saturates everything. Like little costumed dolls they prance and posture, but they also offer themselves to be bound and tied-up and paraded as objects of sexual fantasy. There are so many disparate elements at play here it might be hard for some to grasp what it all means, but Watanabe's cohesive and fantastic style are what unifies this body of work. As a whole, this book is a visual diary of a young, ultra-inventive, and technically astute, photographer working at the height of his powers. At 10.5" x 10.5" and flawlessly packaged, this is a superb production and one of the most creative books of erotic art photography published this year.

Although this is Swedish photographer Gerth Sernelin's first official photo-book, his work is well known to thousands, perhaps millions of men who grew up in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Gerth's nudes graced the pages of numerous men's magazines, inspiring an entire generation of men while also helping to secure the well deserved reputation that Scandinavian women have for extraordinary physical beauty.

In Nordic Angels we are presented with a 160 pages of mouth-watering nudes selected from archives that go back to 1973. This is a big, bold collection of color photographs that all fans of the nude will enjoy - but collectors of vintage erotica will absolutely have to have.

This is an amazing book from an Australian photographer who has been specializing in this most unique form of photography for many years. This work is breathtakingly erotic and might even be described as blatantly sexual, but it is also unquestionably a beautiful testament to the glory of the human body. De Lombardo's subjects are the real deal - they are actual contortionists, dancers, acrobats, and the like. And they are unbelievably flexible and supple and ultimately beautiful. His perspective is an unabashedly direct look into the most intimate places of the human landscape. As mentioned in the book cover, "Performing difficult exercises in a naturally nude state offers unexpected erotic perspectives on the beauty of the female sex, which reveals itself here like a ripe and pouting fruit."

There are both color and black & white plates featured here, 121 photographs in all. This is unique and wonderful publication that will thrill collectors of nude art and lovers of the female form.
