Summary:

Master photographer Kenro Izu has for years been working with the platinum palladium process to create stunning nudes and floral still lifes. Using large-format cameras, and contact printing images as large as 14x20 inches, Izu creates photographs that possess a rare sensuality and tactility. Their surface qualities and rich tonalities conjure the hand-crafted beauty of earlier movements in photography, but these images are so timeless they beg contemplation and immersion from the viewer. It's no wonder Izu has been noticed by such important photography collectors as Elton John. This book, the first devoted to both Izu's nudes and floral still lifes, is certain to become a classic. Printed in large format on luscious Italian stock, the images come alive in this rarefied book -- which features an introduction by Richard Gere, and an interpretive essay by noted curator Arthur Olman.
