Congratulations on another excellent post for The Nude Canvas Newsletter. Thank you for sharing your recommendations and thoughts about the books you featured. I look forward to your future selections and reviews of books.
Personal by Vincent Peters, looks to be an intriguing book to collect. I'm not familiar with the works of Vincent Peters. I'll Google about the photographer to find out more information.
Photographs by Mona Kuhn another book and collection of work I have not heard about before. I'm always elated to find out about new photographers and their work. I did an initial search for this book which yielded some initial high prices for the book. I was eventually able to find a copy of the book on eBay and ordered it for $42.77. I was unable to see some examples of the content of the book, but I did like the work I was able to view about the photographer online.
Fortunately, I own Nudes by Ralph Gibson and Shades of Sensuality by Tina Trumpp.
I was able to Google search about Chocolate by Marc Lagrange and found a copy that I ordered immediately.
Visionary Vision of Sanne Cannes is out of print. I hope to find out some information about the photographer's work on the Internet.
All of the books in today's post are inspiration collections of art that motivate me in my own work as a photographer. Books and prints are the final destination for me when it comes to the ultimate presentation of photographic art. I think people sometimes forget that a book is a form of technology in itself, no different from the Internet or social media. Books don't require charging or an electronic device to view them on. As I continue to collect photography books now, I see the immense value in obtaining photography books whenever possible. I still haven't discovered the balance between showing some of my work on social media and saving the rest of my work exclusively for the photography book projects I am working on. Another thought about books and photography I've brainstorm about often is what determines the collectibility and value of a photographer's work. When does a photographer's work become fine art? Who determines if a photographer's work is fine art? There are so many unknown/undiscovered photographers that I know that are not mainstream artist that produce consistent outstanding photography work. Why do some photographers emerge into the spotlight while other photographers toil in obscurity? I personally believe that every person has a story to tell and that a person has to discover the medium to use to convey their story. Some people using drawing, singing, poetry, or some other form of art to share their story with the community. It was by a chance whim to try something new that I discovered photography as a teenager. I spent decades as a photography hobbyist before deciding to pursue photography professionally. I plan to contribute my own work of fine art nude photography to the universal collective of art in existence. I can only hope that my books are well received.
I could talk all day about photography. The newsletter has given me an outlet to discover and discuss photography subjects that interest me. Thank you for the courage and insight in creating The Nude Canvas Newsletter. I'll share some book recommendations in additional comments. I look forward to the next post.
