Devoted to nude and erotic photography by women photographers, this volume illustrates the emotional force and sensual beauty of the female body as seen through the feminine lens.
Women by Women features the works of a number of today's most important female photographers, some internationally famous and others known to a more specialist audience, including Eve Arnold, Ellen Auerback, Venessa Beecroft, Erika Langley, Sylvia Plachy and Ellen von Unwerth. The 106 images explore themes such as introversion and extroversion, the private and the public. The book examines the distinctly female aspects of erotic photography and what emerges is a profoundly sympathetic relationship between viewer and subject. And, as a number of these women artists have worked as models themselves, their perspective on this role adds yet another aspect. Women by Women is a provocative introduction to an increasingly important genre.
