Showcasing a diverse variety of women, these portraits demonstrate the work of famed nude photographer Thomas Karsten. The collection captures a variety of unique subjects from different parts of the world, depicting the individual beauty of each culture and going beyond endeavored poses to communicate intense emotion and eroticism. Combined with the author's poetic reflections, this painstakingly produced volume is both an optical and sensual pleasure. This bilingual edition includes English and German. Review: Karsten at his most EROTIC. - This is Thomas Karsten at his most erotic - and his use of vibrant color in this work seems intentional so as to stimulate the viewer's sexual receptors. Masturbation, lesbian sex, and gorgeous erotic nudes are all subjects featured here. And Karsten pulls it off with his usual mixture of fine art style combined with powerful erotic compositions. Review: Karsten does it again - Many photographers praise women's bare beauty with their cameras. None do it with the obvious affection that Karsten brings to his models and to his art. This collection demonstrates that affection, and proves just how inclusive it can be. It's easy to make a firm, twenty-something look good. Karsten does it again and again, taking positive joy in the curves that aren't as pronounced, or that go beyond, or that hang a bit lower than some artificial ideal might dictate - he even celebrates the lush curves of pregnancy. Unlike some photographers, for whom the model is secondary to the concept, Karsten centers every picture on the woman herself, the way she wants to be seen. For many, that includes bold tattoos or piercings. For others, that may mean overt expressions of sexuality - with a same-sex partner or in solo play, sometimes with toys that might not suit a delicate viewer. In Karsten's hands, though, even a penetrating toy comes across in a spirit of fun. Vulgarity simply never arises, even at Karsten's (and his models') boldest moments. "A Look at Myself" reaffirms Karsten's dedication to color, but with more subtlety than in his " Colors of Sex ." And, in a turn I enjoy immensely, he reaffirms his dedication to models of color. Dark-skinned beauty might differ slightly in kind from European features and figures, but has all the same depth and variety. Likewise, maturity takes its place next to the sprightliness of young adults, another way in which Karsten's range exceeds that of other photographers. I find only one thing lacking in this beautiful collection - the identities of the models themselves. For me, a name and maybe a date helps to fix the subject as a real and unique person; a photo without that attribution lacks in some slight way. But only slight - this gorgeous book has a place in any library of figure photography. -- wiredweird
