Varied and elegant

This collection presents many visions of the photographic figure. They feature outdoor backgrounds, or architecture, or studio scenes. They present models singly (a man or woman), or in couples. Sunlit or somber; color or B & W; crisp, gauzy, or grained - each variation says something new. I'm quite amazed at all the different ways the human animal can be seen by the human animal. The drawback in this collection is its sameness of models: twenty-something, and European in coloring. I keep wondering where all the other people are. Within that range, though, Farber conveys the classic sense of grace and elegance in figure, something I enjoy immensely. Photographers will draw extra pleasure from this collection. The last section reproduces each picture again, smaller and B & W, but with additional notes about camera, lens, film, lighting, and composition. I would have liked at least a name for each model or image, or maybe just a page number to help me talk about the pictures - but maybe they're to be seen and not said. Well, that's fine too. -- wiredweird
