Does anybody really know the “next-generation photographers,” the successors to Newton, Lindbergh, von Unwerth, and Ritts? The shots in this volume are an introduction to these newcomers and their accomplished, sexy, romantic work—the best of today's nude photography in black and white. Classic black-and-white photography shows clearly who knows how to take a good picture and who doesn't. The photographers contributing to this volume display their mastery of photography both as a craft and as an art form.
