Tom Bianchi has long been acclaimed for his masterful photos of the male nude. Now, with Among Women, Bianchi proves himself equal to the task of capturing women's relationships and individual beauty. In collaboration with the women in this book, Bianchi has thrown out the old clichés and roles into which women are usually cast and broken new ground in this exploration of the female nude. By inviting these women to be portrayed as they wished to be seen, Bianchi provided them a comfortable stage on which to be themselves and, as a result, was rewarded with wonderfully varied and compellingly rich portraits. Marked by an independent spirit and the subjects' confident strength in their physical presence, the work in Bianchi's Among Women is among his best ever.
