Good reference and stylish format
This is exactly the kind of easy to use and understand photo reference book and at the same time, beautiful photo presentation portfolio that every "how to" book should be. I am very glad to have added this to my book library and I know it will appreciate greatly once out of print (like any Howard Schatz book has done). The photo's are a study on what makes a great nude and without any ...

Wonderful guide
This is the most up to date guide that I know of, the closest you can come to traveling with the actual internet in your hands. Grate photos, good descriptions and up to date web sites for more information. Every naturist should have a copy not only for planning your next vacation but also to learn what places are out there. This may not be a complete guide, there never could be, but it is a ...

Boys will be Boys, & they know European Women Rule....
I ordered this book on the promise that the cover picture would be in indication of the book's contents. I was not disappointed. It is refreshing to see regular "normal" women, without make up and airbrushing. The cover model's photos, especially those on page 255 are worth the price of the book by themselves. BONUS: For those of us who admire CSI Miami Detective Calleigh Duquesne, ...

The best nude photography book in my collection
Now, I must admit, my collection is not terribly extensive, it is actually just about ten books long, but this one is without a doubt, the best I've gotten so far. Classy, enjoyable. The only thing against it is that it has little variety. But still, I like it a lot.
John Singer Sargent: The Male Nudes

Images that speak for themselves
It's hard to believe there was a time when the images in this book would have been considered pornographic. But if Singer's portrait of Madame Pierre Gautreau ("Madame X") was considered scandalous because he painted her with a dropped shoulder strap (later repainted in its proper position), then you can understand why these male nudes (mostly charcoal sketches and quick watercolors, but also ...

Wow.
I gave this to my partner for Christmas and of all of the presents that I gave him, many much much more expensive, this was his favorite. It is truly a hot hot book. It's a must by if you are into "sporn".

My Favorite Book on Nude Photography
This is without a doubt my favorite book on nude photography. Its not that it is full of whitty text, or even step by step how to. In fact, to recreate the look of some of these images will require some practice and patience. What I love about this book is how it inspries you with every page. The pictures are top notch, and the diagrams will help you understand how the shot was performed. I've ...

Kenneth Clark
Princeton University Press
, 1972
Kudos to Amazon.com for keeping an important book available!
THE NUDE: A STUDY IN IDEAL FORM, a classic investigation and summation, is one of scholar/historian Kenneth Clark's finest works - and that is high powered praise in view of all of his contributions to literature. Few writers inform with such dignity of prose, style, and warmth as Clark and THE NUDE is no exception. This handsome and illuminating volume dates back to 1953 and is based on six ...

this is a great resource book for those artists who do not have the time or money to be able to meet up with a figure drawing group. Also it is good if you do not know of a local group to join.

Excellent Tool For Artists!
This Book/CD combo is excellent. The interactive web site is also excellent, and greatly extends the book/CD. The poses in this package are from, "classic inspiration." This package is as close to having an actual model in your studio as you could ever hope to achieve. Using the photos on the CD has some advantages over a live model: you won't get slapped for getting too close. The quality of ...

Another Fine Leddick Volume
Nobody does a better job of collecting and publishing nude photographs of men than David Leddick. He adds here another fine volume to his several books on the subject. Leddick begins with photographers in the Nineteenth Century and continues to the present in chronological order. All the photographers you expect are here as well as some of the photographs we have seen many times before. (I'm ...
The Nude Figure: A Visual Reference for the Artist

Mark Edward Smith

, 1998
Designed to develop familiarity with the figure
First off, let me start off by saying that this is not a how-to guide for drawing the figure. It does not attempt to teach you, and it's not designed to do so. Also, don't expect this book to have great photos that will translate into beautiful, finished pieces of art--I don't think one should expect it to be. Instead, it is choke full of full figure poses with which a student can learn the human ...

Roy Blakey's 70s Male Nudes

Bodies By God Rather Than By Gold's Gym!
What a refreshing addition to the study of male nude photograpy! The men have nice, natural bodies without being "buffed and waxed." And believe it or not, they have hair, both on their heads--some actually have tresses to their shoulders-- and bodies. For that reason they look very 70's. They also look very innocent and appear to be having a good time. Some of them smile directly into the ...

Uwe Scheid
Taschen
, 2005
A Wonderful Collection
While we are no longer scandalized by the nude body, we have too much allowed our sophistication to turn to boredom. With this collection we can trace the aesthetics of nudity and see its genres and developments. Here the standards of beauty, posture, and placement become clear as historical consequences. We see too the elements of technology as they influence the stance and audience. That this ...
