Peter
Gorman shot to fame in 2001 with the publication of his
first book, Naked
in Apartment 7, where he photographed, in black
& white, a range of nude females within the confines
of his New York apartment. He changes course here in Naked
Rooms, shooting entirely in color and on location in
the home of each of his models, who range from stock
brokers to commercial pilots to law enforcement
professionals. There is also a sense of movement in much
of this work, blurred movements, action, and we know
some of this is from Peter's approach to his
photo-sessions where he instructed his subjects to roam
around the house with him "chasing" them.
That's key to what makes this such an exciting body of
work, there's very little sense that anything was staged
or even prepped for the photo-session. It's fast. It's
quick. It's raw. It's a kinetic journey into the private chambers of these
attractive, young women .. and that they are naked makes
it all the sweeter. This is a great book, but it's an even more interesting study of an art photographer who's wholly unafraid to take chances ... and that's VERY cool!
