THE BEST SETS WE EVER
HAD! THE TEN TOP NUDE PHOTOBOOKS JUST HAPPEN TO BE THE BEST NUDES 1-10. PUBLISHED IN JAPAN BETWEEN 1978 AND 1982.
AND FOR ALL THE TIME IT TAKES US TO FIND A COMPLETE SET, THEY SELL
IN SECONDS :). THIS TIME WE PUT THE BRAKES ON FOR JUST ABOUT LONG ENOUGH TO SHOW YOU WHY THEY
ARE SO IRRESISTIBLE.
One to five in the blink of eye. You buy them for the nudes and get the supercool art direction for free!
An IDEA Instagram favourite. Not least because it somehow manages to present a completely naked body in a completely Instasafe composition. The photographer is Otto Weiser. Much more about him to follow.
Many of the volumes are split between two or three photographers. Not this one; Jeanloup Sieff gets a whole volume to himself. As indeed he should. He took enough nudes to fill all the books in your your local library. If only...
Karin Székessy. The German photographer married to the artist Paul Wunderlich.
Same two women in black and white. Székessy shares the third volume in the series with Irina Ionesco. It is one of the more extraordinary books we have ever seen.
Otto Weiser again. In fact two more to come. His half of the sixth book in the series is just hit after hit after hit. Weiser may not be biggest name in the sexy photo world but he is getting the recognition now. This is another wonder of the IDEA Instagram.
That car phone though.
Ms. Dynamite. If loving this is wrong... For the record, we are aware that chewing the fuse of a dynamite stick is not that dangerous. You can try that at home.
Subtlety returns. Some of the photographs - such as this Olivier Dassault impressionistic picture - let the viewer find their own erotic source. Dassault btw, who wasn't known to us, turns out to be a French billionaire. Read about him on our sister publication Forbes.com!
And this you may know. James Baes shot this in Ibiza. It forms the cover of one of the great IDEA amazines - the Lui Ibiza issue - which we did have as we were writing this but.... somebody bought it! In its absence - this is a bit special.
Six to ten and back again.
At the time of writing we do have all ten volumes. Until one of you hits the buttom below and buys them. One set. One click. One love.
