Classic Glamour Photography by Iain Banks
Despite its age (published in 1983) this book does not seem that dated at all. The photography is beautiful, crisp and fresh. It features the work of 14 of the great creators of nude photography. 176 large, colourful pages with interesting and informative accompanying text.
Favourite photo in the book? The Michael Boys picture on page 11 of the silhouetted girl with wet hair holding a pink flower is good enough to frame and display on your wall. Least favourite? Page 156, girl in a bath. Its show more just personal preference really. I have never appreciated bathroom photos. I have no idea why that is. show less
