Not Just Sexy, But Great Value As Well

The only problem I had with this book was its title. "Well-photographed, slightly kinky pictures of naked young women" would have been a good alternative. Apart from that, Tony Mitchell does a very good job of showcasing the work of fourteen talented photographers. Moreover, with 96 pages of agreeably lubricious images, it represents remarkably good value. Highly recommended.

Wonderful example of modern photography

This collection by Mitchell is a wonderful example of a modern view of the female body. I found several images stimulating in a physical sense with many others simply gorgeous from a technique view. I was interested in what a female view of the images would be so I had my wife and two female coworkers also look through it. To my amazement, they agreed that many images were technically excellent but that several also produced a more base reaction in them. I would agree with the book's description that it does encompass images which reflect both the male and female perspective of the woman body. Admittedly I know very little about photography, but it seems to me that many images are truly striking. Well worth the price and an excellent conversation book.
