This is Greg Friedler's fourth book of photography. Like the first three: Naked New York, Naked Los Angeles, and Naked London, he assumes a restrictive setting in which to create his art. In this publication, he poses his nude subjects, all female in this case, upon an equally naked and unadorned mattress. As a photographer, Friedler has created a wonderful series of razor sharp, color portraits, but as an artist he has created an exciting study where each subject allowed herself to be photographed totally naked, lying or sitting on the designated mattress. Each presents herself as she wishes us to see her. Some wear make-up, many are tattooed, some are obviously beautiful while others are more plain. It is a body of portraiture that finds its strength in an amazing sense of honesty on both the part of the model and the photographer. Admittedly, few could pull this off as well as Freidler and in less capable hands would very likely be just a boring exposé of naked chicks. But this is just the sort of book project the Greg Friedler was meant for, and is one that all savvy collectors will want to procure.
