Publisher's Synopsis
Amateur Photography as we understand and represent it is certainly not a dilettante hobby ridiculously competing against professional photographers but a folk art in its very own style, described as the aesthetics of snapshots by Gisele Freund. The same naive and cheeky concept has also been adopted in fashion and advertising photography. Nikolai has remained an amateur, at least at heart. His nude photography of girls portray not only authentic body illustrations but also a natural element rarely captured in nude photography.
