New Fashion Nudes. Frankfurt am Main: Goliath Verlag, 2016. Hardcover, 272 pp. 25 x 19 x 2,5 cm. From the publishing house that produced Tattoo Super Models, Naked Fashion Girls, Dirty Girl collection, and Dirty Rendezvous.
240 full-color photographs of skinny, young, barely dressed, or semi-nude girls, imitating the gritty snapshot styles of Corine Day and Jürgen Teller, or the Calvin Klein / D&G fashion campaigns. It's not Bilitis, it's not Terryworld, and it's not Instaporn, but you could say it's a genre.
One-page Introduction in EN, FR, G, IT, SP by 'Doc Goliath, whoever that may be. He says the book presents a 'subtle eroticism - mental cinema at its best-'.
Contributing photographers: James Beddoes, Viktor Cicko, Mike Dowson, Dido Fontana, Andrew Kuykendall, Marco Leonardi, Giovanni Lipari, Paolo Pamintuan, Francesco Petrucci, Ryan Pike, Splice Pictures, Ellen Stagg, Collin Stark & Jessica Stark, Marc Van Dalen
Includes a 2-page photographers index with short bios and answers to questions like: 'What made you become a photographer?', 'At what age did you start photographing' and 'Things you dislike about your job?' (Working with models is really difficult / Photoshop / This is not my profession / When people think all I do is click a button)
A fine copy, since this is actually a new book.
Btw: too bad the armpit hair of the James Beddoes cover photo has been photoshopped away, only to be replaced by a bland sticker-like title. But you can check the unedited Beddooes pic on page 199.
