I'd read a number of articles about Sturges over the years due to my more-than-passing interest in photography; especially portraiture. When I bought this I wanted to have my own proof of what all the fuss was about. When I cracked this paper-back open I could see, in my own hands, that the pictures were intimate, but they are very far removed from pornography. What makes Sturges unsettling is that he captured young people at a time which is very confusing and, in turn, it's confusing for the viewer. The subjects are not quite adult, but they're not children any more, either. At the end of the day, these are mostly just bodies in transition and I would like to point out that they are NOT all nude. Many, perhaps half of the subjects are clothed. Adolescence is the focus, not nude bodies.
It is evident that Mr. Sturges is a very talented photographer, and this book reveals his admiration and, somehow, his appreciation of his family. Each of these pictures look as if they have not been retouched, and they were masterfully shot. On the other hand, there is very little variation in the technique or the type of location. Basically, you could see five or ten of the shots in the book, and you have a very good idea of all the content in it. By the way, I saw this book was tagged as erotica, and if there's something this book is not, it is erotica. More than three fourths of the pictures include someone naked, but the nudes are rather innocent.
A superb example of natural people doing what comes naturally captured in a wholesome way. Through Jock Sturges' images, we see what we see around us every day - families growing older. His nudes are prime examples of beauty - of which Jock captures with a particular reverence. The subjects represent whole body acceptance - something our society lacks today. The book is well done, and the images crisp and of excellent tone.
Controversial and artistic, this photography book is Sturges at his best. The book is filled with his beautiful photographs of his stunning models. While not for everyone, I dare you to not find the inherent splendor radiating from his subjects as they allow Sturges to capture their natural beauty.
Jock Sturges will probably stand as one of the great photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries....someday. His work with the friends and strangers who populate summer beaches and cottages where clothing is optional, year after year, testifies to his respect for his subjects and his affirming humanity. In current American culture, where hypersexuality is the marketing tool of choice, and merchants exploit every normal insecurity about appearance to sell endless crap to yearning multitudes, Sturges's pictures show us how beautiful we are, in all our shapes, sizes and ages, in nothing but the skin we are born with. As a photographer, I am amazed at Sturges's ability to convince people to simply offer themselves up to his visual instincts. He returns to the same venues again and again, and becomes part of the places himself, rather than an intruder, and the people in his photographs see the work that results. Seeing themselves as he sees them, they appear to trust him completely. He steals no souls, but rather, affirms the conviction that we have souls in the first place. When asked to suggest a present for my own 16 year old daughter, a young woman with endless interests and curiosity, including photography, I could think of no better work to show her at this point in her life.
Another book of fine pictures by this wonderful photographer. Some of his subjects are nude, some partly so, and some clothed, but all are beautifully-taken, and not suggestive in any way. Another book I would not hesitate to recommend to those who appreciate fine photography.
Another great work by Jock Sturges. His photographic composition, his ability to capture the landscape in a grand manner, and his unflinching determination to capture family naturism without restraint are incomparable. Please note that the subject matter may be offensive to some.
Art is always subjective, look into the artist before you buy.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Gift for a friend
I have a friend who lives, breathes and will doubtless die in her pursuit of perfect photography and she assured me that I made an excellent purchase for her and that this fits in nicely with all the other photography book she already possesses.
A large amount of very beautiful black & white pictures about life on the beach. Photo art that is in a class for itself.Jock Sturges and Sally Mann is in class of there own, i think.
4.0 out of 5 stars
again a good
As I had his other book thought I would get this one..again a good book
4.0 out of 5 stars
