The authors claim that "This book is an inspirational guide to the world of erotic digital photography, not another 'how-to' manual'' and this reviewer has to
agree. The publication has a layout, style and tactile quality that draws and seduces the reader in. The first short section of the book seeks to "familiarize you with some of the methods used by the artists" featured within its pages. These are illustrated with images made by MacDonald and are, like those within Digital Nude Photography - Step by Step, uninspiring. As with all books from ILEX - the text is clear and the software techniques are very easy to follow.
Where this book scores highly is with the inclusion of the work of over 20 photographers who are of the highest quality and cover an eclectic range within the erotic genre. Each artist has a section devoted to their work with an easy to follow, in-depth investigation into his/her techniques.
Recommended for those who wish to approach the genre in a mature manner that stays well clear of the 'glamour' image. Go out and buy it.
