Tributes to Baywatch, Rambo, Star Wars, Jessica Rabbit, and more late-20th century cultural references are included. This collection of over-the-top Americana also features standouts from Alvarado's Redneck Pinup series; provocatively posed pirates; beautiful calaveras makeup; leather jacket-wearing blondes; classy big-haired chicks with antique cars; a dynamite-wielding cowgirl; polo-playing preppies; sword-swallowing freaks; laser- and gun-toting steampunks; sultry nurses; elegant ballroom dancers; and more. Alvarado's belief is that it's all about the model; her image and pose are the most important elements in a composition, and he draws the viewer's attention to the models by employing a plain white background in many images.

Blending the style of the past with the women of the present, this book is a first-of-its-kind celebration of modern black pin-up beauty. Black pin-ups existed during the "Golden Age of Pin-ups," but like other black artists of the time, they often did not receive the same attention as their white contemporaries. Although still rare, modern black pin-up models are getting more attention thanks to models and photographers who understand that pin-up has evolved to include all backgrounds and ethnicities. This new book shines the spotlight on ten of today's best pin-up photographers and their work with over 50 of today's most beautiful black pin-up models. With images ranging from classic pin-up glamour to retro-inspired fetish photography, this collection of works shows the diversity of flavors found in contemporary black pin-up culture.

Drawing on a panorama of materials from 1930s France, Eroticism and Photography in 1930s French Magazines takes a new approach to studying a certain type of image from a certain time. Previously untapped by historians, magazines such as Paris Magazine, Paris Sex Appeal, Pages Folles, Pour lire a deux, and Scandale are inscribed in the context of the interwar years. They reflect that context through a bawdy style, an audacious and multifaceted aesthetic - from kitsch to modern - and permeability to reproducibility. With a focus on the photographs as components of the magazines' layout, Alix Agret critically examines their interrelations with texts and graphics without neglecting the history surrounding them, which forms a backdrop to the analyses of this previously unstudied source material. The first study of its kind, this is a timely scholarly contribution to the field of the history of photographs. This book will be of interest to scholars in the field of history of photography, French history, and twentieth-century art history.

"Everybody wants to become old, but nobody wants to be old." or "The main problem of old people is, they don't feel attractive any longer - we have to write and to photograph against this feeling."

Fehl Cannon's work is about permission to look, admire & desire. His guys share his obsession with their bodies.

Text in English, German & French. In the garden of Heaven, there already was a snake. As for the little juicy fruit Eve gave to humanity, it probably was, already, the carefully shaven genitals, pulpy and plump, that the girls display in this book with a smile. They offer themselves to be seen, self-confident, without hiding anything of their slit genitalia, like a tempting fruit. When they spread their thighs, they may unveil the little hill of their vulva but their cheeky looks and postures are always playful. Here we are in the realm of pretense, a world of fantasy where Eves daughters become elusive fairies.

Text in English, French & German. Uwe Dupke, born 1952, lives in Andalusia, Spain and just outside Cologne Germany; he has been a professional photographer since 1970, and specialises in people and erotic nudes. He believes that honest and passionate images can only be created if the models are fully integrated into the design process. In addition to the selection of area and location, this also includes the choice of outfits and make-up. A new trend has emerged, as fifty percent of models want to be in fetish and bondage shots. Together with the models, various fetish clubs, bondage apartments, special hotels and swinger clubs are then selected together as locations. The job of the photographer is to capture the erotic fantasies of the models, as well as any developments that happen spontaneously during the session itself. This procedure means that at the beginning of a session, it is often unclear which technology is going to be used. As a rule, the 60 megapixel Hasselblad is used for medium format shots, and for a rapid series of exposures, Canons professional cameras. For pronounced lighting effects, Uwe Dupke always uses a gallows. Fetishism: is this fantasy or reality? Wow! This is exciting, sweaty, sexy photography!

This body of work is a contemplation of human beings' passage on earth and their intimate interrelation with the environment. This book attempts to bring humour to the things we are getting attached to. It points at the invisible within the visible, the immaterial within the material or the vertical nature of being (and its mirror-like quality) within our horizontal way of living (where our mind, time, and space condition our experiences). The naked body is seen as our primary indivisible unit of perception which is usually pushed and pulled by our thinking mind's desire to either get less or more. In other words, our lives are coloured by our minds and since body-mind is a single entity, most of the colours painted on the body are an allusion to the range of our changing desires from being invisible or transparent to wanting to be singular and the centre of attention. The book's Interviews (the interviewers are from Russia, Colombia, Korea, Germany, and the US) stanzas, and photographs are not seen as being subservient to one another but can be seen as an assemblage of three independent directions that may or may not intersect following each reader.
