Femmes Captives

The photographer's classic collection of female nudes and erotic poses. The true first edition. A handsome production: Oversize-volume format. A tall and slim book. Hard boards with titles on cover and spine. Presents the photographer's highly influential work on the female nude as well as explicit but always tastefully erotic "sexual fantasy" situations. Jeff Dunas is responsible more than any single photographer for the suggestively as well as explicitly erotic look of all the leading men's adult magazines, including Playboy and Penthouse. He was also an extremely successful fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar, although one would not know it from this collection, as virtually every woman captured on film is naked. His loving portraits of the great jazz artists are captured in "State of the Blues", widely acknowledged to be one of the best books on its subject. "Femmes Captives" is lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs that owe a debt to Helmut Newton but are imbued with the unmistakable Dunas touch. One of the most accomplished American photographers of the 20th century.
