Product Description
Published under the title Allegro Sensible in Germany, The Art of Nude Photography is already a best-seller throughout Europe. Now available for the first time in English, this beautiful oversized volume presents over 160 duotone images of sensuous and sublime female nudes by up-and-coming photographer Pascal Baetens. According to photographer Jeff Dunas, "Baeten's work reveals energy, a discipline, and a love of his subject. Baeten's photography has that essential 'something'-you either have it, or you don't. You can't learn it. That special 'something' is the ability to truly reach your subject-create a vision, and have complete complicity with the object you are photographing." Includes over 150 sublime examples of this up-and-coming photographer's work.

 An Erudite Study of Form and Light December 14, 2008
This is a big, beautiful book, full of imagery so breathtaking that one has to slow down to take it all in. Its dimensions are a burgeoning 13x10" and its 144 pages are packed full with exquisite duotones. The forward is written by none other than the great Jeff Dunas, a master photographer who sees amazing things in store for the young Pascal Baetens.
Perhaps not since Jeanloup Sieff was in his prime has a major photographer so astutely mastered the integration his nude subject with its immediate environment, whether it be a room in a house, nestled under a concrete bridge or even under the canopy of a great forest. Baeten's talent is glaringly obvious. The women he's used to create this body of work are not so much beautiful as they are interesting. This is not about glamour or fashion or even beauty - it is instead, an erudite study of form and light and symmetry, presented in a manner that is wholly and that of the artist. It is an electrifying achievement.

Boo hoo so it is full of nice bodies and the problem with that is? There are some nice photo's in this book and you can pick it up used for about $10 bucks.
It's a good deal.

i would have to say that only about 25% of the images in this book really stand out. the other 75% remind me of anything a person could shoot with any camera. other than that the photographers chose nice looking models and photographed them well. a good coffee table book, but lacks everywhere else.
photography at its best January 4, 2005

I was very impressed by this book. It is all done in black and white, which I found absolutely stunning. What impressed me most was the fact that you could take these beautiful models out of the picture and it would still be an increadible piece of art. However, the models in these photos are placed in such a way as to complement scenery they absorb themselves in, making a very captivating picture. There are trees, fields, lakes, even motor homes all artistically beatiful and provocative. I must get my hands on the rest of Pascal Baetens work.
 Can only beautiful, slim, women pose nude? October 24, 2004

I gave the book two stars, one for the beautiful cover and the other for the simple fact that all the photographs were in black and white. `The Art of Nude Photography' disappointed me greatly.
I would have preferred a book that depicted all bodies, ages, and genders. This book focused on beautiful, young, slim women. At times I thought the composition was overly commercial and unimaginative. There were a handful of photographs that I thought worthy of a 13"x10" coffee table book but not enough to make it worth buying.
