Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The term “body art” often conjures rude images of radical piercings and raunchy tattoos on “modern primitives.” Here artist Jean Paul Bourdier applies his skills to a completely different task: to create haunting photographic images that allow viewers to see the environment from inside out by painting the bodies of models, thereby making them one with the desert landscape. In these photographs Bourdier eschews any digital altering, instead combining primal forms and materials with diverse textures to create exciting new interpretations of timeless nature and temporal body.

The photography in this book really catches your attention. The colors, poses and visual illusions that the photographer creates really made an impression on me. And as a plus, mine came with a dvd that showed the photographer in action.
Rated by buyers -
The artist has painted friends' bodies and set them in natural environments, so that both the beauty of the body and the beauty of the world become apparent.
The book is very reasonably priced and, with this production quality, one would expect to see it priced at $60, at least.
There are not as many "interactive" couples as one sees on the cover, which I appreciated. I didn't see this as a book of erotic photography, unless one thinks that nude bodies are inherently erotic, but it does bring the viewer back to their senses.
Obviously, this book is a labor of love by author and publisher. It makes a wonderful gift for people who enjoy art, photography, nature, the body -- and a LOT of color!

Jean Paul Bourdier has created a stunningly beautiful piece of art in this book of photos and essays taken on his several trips to the dessert. His 'eye' captures both the rich colors and the shifting contours of life. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of this beautifully done book.

Jean Paul Bourdier has created a masterpiece here ... I am just blown away by the work displayed in this book. Do yourself a favour and get one to meditate to and also to put out on your coffee table to share with friends.
