An art photography book celebrating natural female sensuality without retouching and photoshopping
Every contributor gets exclusive unpublished art photos.
During the last 5 years I photographed many women in Barcelona. I encouraged them to explore their sensuality in front of my camera without limits and invited them to move freely without imitating the typical glamour poses or pretending something they didn't feel.
I am creating a photography book with 140 pages of full-page and double-page sensual art nude images

(the images in the book and those delivered with the perks are, of course, without pixelated parts and watermark. Uncensored versions can be seen here [NSFW]: sample images )
The photos were taken in the showers, the kitchen, the living room or on the terrace of my studio-flat, on the ancient sofa that already appeared in my early work many years ago and in the narrow streets just around the corner in my neighbourhood, "El Borne", in the old town of the magic city of Barcelona...

The beautiful young women who revealed themselves from their most sensual sides are amateur models and most of them have never before been photographed in the nude.
The results of these photo sessions are images of an exceptionally strong sensual vibrancy. Sometimes quite provocative, always intense and emotional. Fine art nudes that show the female beauty of authentic, self confident and modern women.

Real photography. Real women.
Despite of the modern and young look of the photographs, I see myself as an old school photographer. Instead of adding effects or enhancing pictures using editing software, I work in the classical way with the light and the camera.
During the sessions I create an atmosphere in which the portrayed women can feel free and safe. To capture their individual sensual charisma I abstain from using the typical "glamour poses" and never ask for those characteristical expressions of pretended arousal. I want artistic, not artificial nudes.
Hence, what you see is real. Women with skin and hair. Natural, authentic beauty. Genuine feelings.

Bonus images: Unpublished extra photos
Each contributor gets an exclusive series of unpublished art
photos that nobody has seen until now, that will not appear in the book and that will give you a "backstage" sight on what else originated from the photo sessions:
- a pdf with 3 unpublished photos from the Barcelona sessions (up to €4.99)
- a pdf with 10 unpublished photos from the Barcelona sessions (up to €24.99)
- a pdf with 25 unpublished photos from the Barcelona sessions in printable resolution (€25 and up)
The pdf's with the unpublished photos will be sent per e-mail to all contributors immediately after the end of the campaign.
In the meantime...
I am currently in the final phase of the electronic production.
I am experienced with analogue and digital printing. I work with a calibrated screen to achieve best colors and tones for the images of this book and you can expect a high quality product delivered on time. I have considered enough time in case that any corrections should be necessary before the final release.
