A Really Juicy Monograph

If fetish is a style, a look, an image, this book is its bible. It's sexy, juicy, brilliantly staged and photographed. I cannot avoid the feeling that there is substance beneath the style, and this book sometimes gives a hint of what may be hidden in it. Anyway, it's captivating, luscious, and mesmerizingly intense. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Nice Book

For a 7.99 price brand new it is certainly worth it. The pics are great but sometimes the settings are not. Great NY scenery, lotsa drag but generally good work. Its art and eroticism. Not the most awesome collection of work but very well done.

Fantastic Art Book!

This book is truly a work of art. The quality of the pics of this book is wonderful. Several images just need a frame to decorate your wall. We have spent hours pouring over the detail in this book. It makes a wonderful gift or addition to a collection. Highly recommended. This is a coffee Table book.

Always interesting

Well, besides the fact that my ex-girlfriend has been on the cover and inside of all three of Doris's book, it's an evocative book that makes you wonder about the photo subject's everyday lives.

A great work!

I have now collected a number of the fetish photography books available. This book is of particular interest because of it's photo-journalistic feel. The images are beautiful and the image reproduction is of the high standard that I have come to expect of the Carlton publications. Kloster has captured a rich selection of photos that the reader gets glimpses of people's lives rather than looking at models who have been dressed up in the right gear (as I have often noticed in other works). The locations are excellent and I love that she has not relied upon studios. I enjoyed the fact that you get a sense of the of contrast between the location and the subjects, particularly in the urban/industrial environments.I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in fetish photography, the fashion or the lifestyle. This is a beautiful book that I am proud to own.
