美しくて、下卑たところを感じさせない色っぽさ、そしてモノクロの繊細さを極限まで知り尽くしたプリントは、ストリートフォトになれた人にも是非みていただければと思います。本書では、彼の繊細なセンスと写真というメディアの持つ視線の強さ(=作者の意図)を明確に見て取ることができます。
とはいえ、理屈抜きに、女性の肌から立ち上がる産毛が逆光に浮かび上がる写真を観たら、きっとため息をつきたくなることでしょう。
This book is the cheapest kind of time-travel you can by - open the book and travel back to more peaceful times. Get old again and enjoy how the artists way of taking pictures changes.
If Mr. Sieff has picked all the plates himself for this book then he has chosen very well because it shows his development as an artist over several deacdes.
The only pictures I would have personally edited from the book were the four images from the Catacombs in Palermo 1982, they belong in another type of photo book.
The photo's vary from the abstract to landscape and sum up into a pleasant blend of images.
The book itself is a great example of quality bookprinting and the page size is just right to give good area for the photos.
To Mr. Sieff I would like to say; "Please go ahead with the planned book; Homage to a 127 bottoms!"
