Customer Reviews of Graphis Nudes 4

Save your money
The long-anticipated release of the fourth book in this series is, for me, something of a let down. Quality is not an issue, it is superbly photographed and the printing is clear and very tight. The book is a good size and, as I have noted a point many reviewers take issue with in other books of this genre, so are the images. It is content that disappoints. Much like a movie sequel that leaves you feeling the producers just wanted to squeeze a bit more income out of the special effects, Graphis Nudes 4 feels like just more of the same. Some people like that, but I am left feeling that this doesn't compare with the first book in this series.

4th volume and no sign of slowing down
If you, dear reader, know the Graphis Nudes volumes 1 to 3, buy this one too. It's just as great as the other ones (I now own all 4 of them). If you don't know the series, start saving money, because if you buy one of them you will want them all. I do have a whole shelf of books with nude photography. These volumes are my absolute favourites. If I could take only 10 books with me from my ~1000 book mini-library, all 4 Graphis Nudes volumes would be in there. <

>Every single photo in this book is beautiful (In most other books I usually am not very fond of 30 to 50% of the pics). <
>If you are into very provocative photographs, this book might be too quiet for you. Most pictures are black and white or in a limited color palette. The photographers rather concentrate on form and texture of the human body then on provocative poses. The artists in this book play with beautiful lines and curves, strong light-shadow contrasts, or the contrast between a soft human body and rough nature. It is a praise of the beauty of the human body in all its forms. If you like classic black and white photography, get this book, I am sure you will like the color photographs in there too. (Oh, and see whether you can get the other three volumes ;) <

>Some more facts: The paper of the book is heavy and semi glossy, and the print quality is magnificent. Photographs are on the back and front of the page, so no empty pages (don't worry, no shine-through with this paper). Also the binding is very well done. The book opens easily and lies open flat without having to press down on it. There are many black/white photos, but also dualtone photos and color photos. <

>I usually do not endorse or praise any products, but with this one (and the whole series) I do. It is definitely worth the price. <
