ATLANTIC SIRENS Revised Edition

German photographer Stefan Soell takes us on a photographic excursion to Portugal’s southern Atlantic coast, taken over five years in late autumn, with warm soft light. Ten models of exceptionally striking and distinctive looks pose and play in the foaming surf and in the winds and sands of this wild coastline, which enhances their natural eroticism. Stefan Soell is a master at capturing their joyful but provocative and enticing play. The photographs for this book were taken during long stays in the far Southwestern area of Portugal. The lonely, undeveloped Costa Vicentina in the west, the Cabo de São Vicente in the east, and the rugged cliffs of the Algarve are among of the last sections of natural coastline in Europe. Usually, the locations could only be reached on foot, which can take a long time, so having light, portable equipment was important, as it enabled longer coastal expeditions to succeed, and allowed maximum flexibility when taking pictures. All photos were taken exclusively with natural light, without additional brighteners or reflectors. And the ladies. It was very difficult to select images to show you here. I wanted so much to offer you many others, but I had to settle on these five. Soell has become our most popular photographer/artist. We keep in stock ALL of his other eight books, because they have proved to be not only exceptional in quality but also very popular. I say this with all honesty, having offered a great many nude photography books over the years. But to me, these each stand out, they offer something more than "just" beautiful nude women. The women are exceptional; the settings add to the appeal; the lighting and photography is unmatched. There is never anything prurient or vulgar in his work. Even though the ladies are completely naked, and in this case are neatly shaven or nearly so, they offer a freshness, innocence and appeal that I find unique. -Bud A full section is devoted to each different model, and they are introduced with full measurements and statistics, and a short interview about themselves. Also by Soell, beginning with the newest collection: Elysium Girls, Carisha, Celestial Girls, Modern Urban Girls, Volcanic Girls, Bavarian Landlust, Waldlust and Alpengluhn.
