Robert also shows form in his images, something hard to find even in photographs. Robert knows how to capture the viewer with his images, and he does this with not just his framing, but taking into account all the technical aspects involved in photography. He thinks like the film thinks, he sees like the film sees, he feels the light–a true master. I was also impressed in the types of film and camera formats he used in this book, from AFGAchrome film to Polapan and even negative color film. Robert used 35mm, my favorite Contax for medium format and even Minox. His use of light, from strobe, tungsten to existing light reinforces the viewer with his mastery of light. I own this and other Farber books–and this is a must have of any Farber collection. … 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Voluptuous, November 7, 2001 By This review is from: Natural Beauty: Farber Nudes (Hardcover) Just some photographs of women that happen to be voluptuous, radiant, sensual, pleasing, attractive, fleshy, tempting, inviting, lovely, beautiful, lush, provocative, alluring, sumptuous, erotic and classic. The format is pleasingly oversize and there is even some mention of technical information in the back of the book — although not enough to be truly helpful. Farber has instincts on light and shadow that surpass most photographers and insticts cannot be translated into technical jargon. Forget the technical stuff and just enjoy the heady pleasure this book gives; well worth the money. I’ll bet you look at it many times before relegating it to the bookshelf. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: excellent artist and book, April 17, 2003 By A Customer This review is from: Natural Beauty: Farber Nudes (Hardcover) If you are a fine art photographer you already know the artist, he is without a doubt in the top ten today. If you are into fine art this book is a must for your personal library. If you are like myself a photographer who is inspired by incrediable work, both artistically and techincally this is a must for you as well. The images capture the hidden grace and beauty of the female form while avoiding being typed as graphic or other negatives. His style is well defined and the lighting is simple yet effect and the use of cropping guides the viewer along the lines like a short classical musical melody. Come and be inspired. |
