Jock Sturges

Steidl International Photography, 2008

People cared for beautifully.
Gerry Badger, in a listing of 250 key photographers, refers to Jock Sturges as the leading photographer of the "natural" nude (p. 170, Collecting Photography, Mitchell Beazley). This is fine, as far as it goes, but is too limited an introduction to Mr. Sturges's work. Mr. Sturges's photography is not limited to nudes. Neither can his subject matter be properly described as the nude or the ...

Radiant Identities: Photographs by Jock Sturges

The early Jock Sturges
I first came across this book about ten years ago and when I did I instantly became a Jock Sturges fan. But it wasn't until resonantly that I realized just how powerful and deep his art can be. Visiting an art gallery I was stunned by the detail, contrast and the three dimensional quality of Jock's full sized prints. The images you see in his books might have been taken with a medium format ...

Jock Sturges: New Work, 1996-2000

Scalo Publishers, 2000

Simply beautiful
I have been a fan of Jock Sturges' work for as long as I have been involved in photography (meaning about eight years now). For a long time, his book The Last Day of Summer was my favorite published body of his work. I still hold that book in high esteem, but now that I own a copy of New Work, it has been displaced in that regard. Mr Sturges' portraits are honest, intimate, and beautiful. ...

Jock Sturges: Notes

Aperture, 2004

This review is going to be............
....about my own credo of America, and of the First Amendment. My online purchase of this is analagous to the story of a Yale professor I read about a few years ago...having no interest in guns, or hunting, he still believes in the Second Amendment; he bought a cheap shotgun, fired it once, and set it aside. That makes him a gun owner, "one of us". I haven't read this book; it is shelved in a ...

Jock Sturges: Twenty-Five Years

3 reviews

Paul Cava Fine Art, 2004

A remarkable book
A remarkable book for several reasons: the selection of images are all strong and the personal commentary by the photographer placed across from each full page reproduction is an insightfull and intimate dimension that distinguishing this publication from Mr. Sturges' other books. Also the reproductions are some of the best I have seen of his work and glow with a warmth and depth. This is a small ...

Sturges' Continuing Family Relationship - As we grow up
A superb example of natural people doing what comes naturally captured in a wholesome way. Through Jock Sturges' images, we see what we see around us every day - families growing older. His nudes are prime examples of beauty - of which Jock captures with a particular reverence. The subjects represent whole body acceptance - something our society lacks today. The book is well done, and the images ...

Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse

Aperture, 2008

Over the course of his career, Jock Sturges' long-term engagement with his subjects has been a cornerstone of his work. Misty Dawn, one of his primary and most popular muses, is one such subject; he has photographed her for 25 of her 28 years. Lithe, beautiful, classically proportioned, she is the personification of Sturges' philosophy of being at home in one's body. This volume follows her growth from a shy, tomboyish child to a gorgeous, ...

Tokyo, Gakken 1994, 1994

Very nice book, terribly expensive
If you know Jock Sturges work you know this will be a good photo art book to own. It's been out of print for years and will be very hard to find, I've seen it cheaper than here at Amazon but you will still have to pay a lot even for a used copy no matter where you find it. Originally brought out in Japan the book is in English, all that matters anyway, and has some very nice work- the trouble ...
