Summary: The Pedophile is a modern creation
Comment: This book was my introduction to Mr. Stuart's work. Previously, I had begun to believe that one had to shoot young girls or the fantasy of "barely legal" girls in either Black and white (see David Hamilton's, Sally Mann or Jocj Sturges' work. Whereas Hamilton did color, it softened it us so as to allude to paintings and thereby soften the blow to consiousness.
Stuart on the other hand exposes himself as well as his models in sharp though dimly lit contrast. His work exemplifies that photographers need not hold back from exploring these fantasise. Soceity at the turn of the century was not what it is today. Our moral sensibilities preclude our sexual in such an artifical way that Stuart's work threatens with the edge. Is it explotation?
These avenues must be travelled upon. Stuart does it with referrence to other mediums ie film. his images feel like movie stills. And in particular like Alfred Hitchcock stills.
My only reservation is the layout. I cannot ascertain wheather this was (again) a movie film technique where the mystery is left unsolved or an editor's choice. I'll await that answer.

Summary: A Masterpiece of Erotic Art Photography
Comment: Many photographers would be afraid that they would be labeled pornographers if they did anything like what Roy Stuart has done. Perhaps that explains why there are almost no examples of great erotic art photography. This book is one such example, and it is a masterpiece.
Some people would not like this book, and they may even say it is pornography, but there are also quite a few people who would judge any book with nudes in it to be pornography.
But, in my opinion, the images in this book are not pornographic. They are actually much more erotic than the images in Playboy Magazine, which, by the way, many would not consider pornographic. And the images in this book are even more erotic than the images in many men's magazines that most people would definitely consider pornographic. However, unlike the pornographic images in those men's magazines, the images in this book are very artistic and beautiful.
Roy Stuart is an exceptional photographer. The photos in this book are well composed and exquisitely lit. His photos actually have some snapshot quality to them that intensifies the eroticism, but unlike many recent photo books by top fashion photographers, Roy Stuart does not sacrifice technical quality to give the photos that snapshotty edge.
If you appriciate erotic photography, you should definitely get this book.
If you appriciate photography that has a snapshot quality, but are disappointed with recent photo books that lack technical quality, you should get this book.
If you have found pornographic magazines to be boring, and want to see examples of very interesting highly erotic images, you may like this book.
If you think you would be offended by highly erotic images, no matter how artistic, you should probably not buy this book.
