Negative Positive
Title: Amateurish throughout
Review: In an attempt to be 'real' the photographer has ended up producing a book full of amateurish looking black and white photographs of S&M; practitioners.It is true to life in so far as people are in general somewhat ugly, but to have taken no effort to show the 'models' in as good a light as possible the photographer has done a disservice to them, to the S&M; community and to anyone who buys this book.Clearly my review runs against the trend, and perhaps 'amateurish' was the wrong word to use in this case. perhapse, too avante-garde may have been fairer, and calling the models ugly was just rude on my part. Please view www ikonen-magazin de / rezension / Nitke.htm to see some of the phots for yourself. I should also point out my support for Barbara Nitke, just a dislike for the photography in this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
