I found Alessandro Bertolotti when I was on the blog site and just searching photography blogs. A blog about him and a book he wrote came up and I became interested immidiately. The book he wrote is called "Books of Nudes" by Alessandro Bertolotti. It is pretty much a collaboration of nude books put together in one gigantic book...
"For all of us who just love anthologies of books, there is a great new one from Abrams called Books of Nudes by Alessandro Bertolotti. Bertolotti, according to the flap copy, has one of the largest collections of erotic books and photographs in Europe. Who his American equivalent would be, I do not know but Bertolotti has brought together more than 160 books and divides them into thematic sections under chapter headings like: Pictorialism, Glamour, European Avant-Garde, Nazism, Gay Pride and others." http://5b4.blogspot.com/2007/11/books-of-nudes-by-alessandro-bertolotti_16.html
So after reading the blog I googled him and found his website, which reminds me of the same concept I am doing with different aesthetics. I really enjoyed looking at all of him images and they became inspiring to me that a straight on photograph is so beautiful and I do not always have to aesthetically enhance it to make it beautiful. Some of his images he deals with relationships, all nude, and mostly women. They are very bohemian looking with natural backgraounds such as trees and the beach, which I am fond of both.
