Book Reviews of Women Only
Book Review: Mixed feelings, somethings great, some things terrible.
Summary: 3 Stars
My opinion on this particular work is divided. On one hand, Mr. May (Dr. May, indeed!) is an accomplished photographer. His shots are stylish, not particularly bold, but tremendously classy. He seems not to venture in new territory, and it's definitely not ground breaking. That does not take the merit on the mastery he shows with the camera, lighting and staging, besides, without reinventing style, he does plays with it very successfully.
On the other hand, the part of the setting of the book he probably did not do himself, deciding order and location in the page, was done in an absolutely terrible manner. First, let's be honest, multiple-page photographies work in centerfolds and basically nowhere else, and it works there because you can lay the magazine flat enough to make the distortion of the fold marks negligible. This is basically impossible to do with a hard cover book of this size without destroying the binding. This book contains 106 shots, from which 70 occupy a complete page (just one), therefore, 35 times, when you turn the page, you will find a shot on your left, and a different shot on your right, that can be individually appreciated. But 36 times you will turn the page and find a single shot distributed between the left and the right pages. This, of course, absolutely distorts the photos, absolutely distracts the eye, and takes almost all the enjoyment of looking at the book for the first time.
I may buy again books from Stephen May from the web, where I can't see it before buying it, but I most likely won't buy another book teNeues unless I have it in my hands before paying for it to be sure I will like what I am paying for.
Summary of Women Only
Master of the sensual nude, Stefan May?s latest work captures the intimate splendor of the feminine form. This original collection combines duotone and color images in an imaginative assortment. The contrast between photographic modes helps the reader fully appreciate form, texture, as well as interplays of light and shadow.Artists, A-Z Books
