Publisher's Synopsis
Nudity and intimacy in the 400-page volume of photography. Nomura began her career as the only pupil of famous photographer, Nobuyoshi Araki. She has photographed male nudity for over 25 years. In About Love, you can see over 100 models creating their individual sense of time and distance. Nomura's monochrome works cannot be treated just as an erotic art; there are strong senses of madness and melancholy as well. Moreover, Nomura's depictions focus not only on male nudity but also nature, animals, and environment, interpreting Nomura's perspectives acquired through the time she has spent with the models. Fumikazu Ohara, art director and head of SOUP DESIGN, designed the book impressively under the concept of the Holy Bible by using edge painting in heavy black in the binding. A contribution essay by writer Junko Gosho is included.
