This
is not just a book, nor is it just a packaged portfolio
of images - this is a true work of art. On Form
is such a grand example of perfection that describing it
as anything less than a work of art is criminal. From
the flawless ensemble put together by te Neus to the
larger-than-life photography contained within, this is
easily one of the best books of 2003 and may be
Bitesnich's greatest book yet. It's huge at 11x14"
and most images flood the page from edge-to-edge. There
are over 200 pages of nude photography that is so
powerful it's almost impossible to take it all in during
one sitting. This requires a double espresso, a giant
Jamaican spliff and/or a pack of Marlboro's, maybe even
lunch. This is less a book and more a museum
visit.
Bitesnich covers the form of both sexes here, and if
ever the human body were portrayed as a work of art,
it's here. The lighting, the composition, the flowing
muscularity, the shape, and form of all within are
possessed of a god-like perfection never so exquisitely
rendered by a photographic artist.
