Coming from the same generation as the author, I have an optician and photographer training and have practiced a lot of nude photography. Jean Turco is clearly a specialist who writes on a subject he knows. Its pleasant book to read is full of excellent advice from many years experience. Felt reflected in written text and not hastily on a seller about. Reviews are decided and uncompromising, but always present touch of humor lightens considerably certain remarks which, although justified, could shock some. For me this is an essential book on the nude. If I could acquire at twenty, I would have won a long time. Small flat, the "cronyism" is very present ... but can you blame Jean Turco to love people?
