Summary: Breathtaking!
Comment: The print quality of this book is breathtaking. I couldn't believe how much more large format and quality printing could enhance an already beautiful body of work-this is an extraordinary book. I enjoy the blending of what is essentially documentary in nature with an exquisite sense of aesthetics. This is no Hamiltonian romanticism/eroticism, and that is why this is precisely, in my estimation, a more real, valuable and important body of work.
Since I had not reviewed his other books in a long time, I've went back to them over and over again since I bought New Works. To see the evolution and metamorphosis of Misty Dawn and all the other subjects is a wonder to behold. I hope that Sturges continues with his quest, but I would also like to see books that present one subject/family at a time. That way, this mystical evolution/metamorphosis of his subjects can best be presented.
I hope he continues to enrich us and our culture with his work. More importantly, I pray that the Ashcroft nomination as Attorney General won't impede nor bode ill for his continued success.

Summary: Beautifully done work, almost perfect and well worth owning.
Comment: VERY little to complain about in this book. Scarcely anything that could be considered objectionable by anyone willing to accept nude photography. Most of the photos date from 1996-2000, (one '83 and one '95),and are generally of girls or young women mostly nude but a few photos of clothed people. I liked the way Sturges handles light in almost all of his photos, composition did seem a little stilted to me in a few of them. I think it's great that he was able to use the same subjects over the years, obviously the man can get along with people. The color photos were welcome, showing the man is willing to vary his medium and well capable of doing so. One improvement over his last, self titled, book is the inclusion of his subject's name,location and date on the opposite page, much easier to follow than a separate sheet as that last book was presented.

Summary: Artistic masterpiece
Comment: I was a little hesitant to order this book because of the price, even though I love Jock Sturges' work, but when it came in the mail I was surprised that it didn't cost more. What an incredible and breath-taking piece of work! The book is huge and the quality of the prints are fantastic! I am so impressed by the lighting and shadows and use of color and exquisite beauty of the models. I can't say enough about it. What a treasure!
