Book Review: Sexy Games by Didier Carre

Courtesy of Amazon

The realm of erotic photography is a difficult one to maneuver, having to balance both the eroticism and  an element of subtlety not found in pornography. Didier Carre's Sexy Games is one of the best black-and-white erotic photography collections I've seen in a while, and his photographic technique is impeccable. The models are of the European persuasion, and their varying body types and positions elude to a very sensual current running through the entire work. I got the book for my husband, and he really enjoyed it!

'The Sexy Games' is filled with attractive nude models in various positions exposing their femininity; and there's a good deal of very close up photos of female genitalia that make them look like flowers -- in fact, several of them were so good that I thought they were actual flowers before I took a closer look. The poses that the models present are evocative, sexy, and in some of them, downright horny. There are pictured faces of women pleasuring themselves, and there is some creative usage of clear sex toys to  enhance the eroticism.

The variety of backdrops, from outdoor scenes to studio settings, really take the black-and-white finesse of Carre to a whole new level. The women have different curves, different angles, and Carre masterfully portrays them appropriately according to their best assets. It should be said that I found one or two of the photos to be a bit out of place, but overall, this is one of the best contemporary erotic photography books that I've seen. It's a bit too risque for a coffee book setting, but the quality of the prints are so good that you can peruse through them many times. The pictures are a bit small (think large postcard), but the crisp contrasts and the depth of thought clearly shown in them make this worth it.

I'm wholeheartedly impressed with the quality of this book -- it's very difficult to find a great print book these days, much less erotic photography. For $25, I think this is a fantastic deal for anybody that would like to look at some beautiful work! Many of these photos are so well executed that they could be sculptures -- everything from the pose, the lighting, and the sensuality of the model make this an unforgettable book! There is nearly any writing explaining the process or the models, but the photos really do speak for themselves. Get the book and enjoy!
