Focus on Photography: Private Rooms by Guido Argentini

I'm a fan of this book.

There is of course a debate about whether this art or porn/objectifying women.

Shoots like the one below would evidence in favour of this being art. I'm not sure if its clear in the picture (the book is too large to scan with my scanner) but the foreground is out of focus, but the reflection in the mirror is in focus. If this was porn he wouldn't have bothered with something like that.



He also uses really nice looking models and he has some variety. So he's not totally into one type of girl. This book is worth a look. I highly recommend it, it was a great addition to my library.
