Jock Sturges

Having photographed some of his models for over two decades, the relationships that have naturally evolved mirror the development of the young women who are his models. Scalo has captured this remarkable vision in what is by far Sturges's most beautiful monograph to date.

I love black-and-white photography, and it was interesting to see the same subject photographed over the course of a number of years. Very artistic.

Jock Sturges' photos of nude adolescents ( mainly women ) and their families are beautiful and I would say worshipful of budding womanhood. They are not erotic, sexy, exploitive or objectifying but simply beautiful. If you have the opportunity, you should at least browse through one at a library or bookstore. I borrowed them from UVA, my local university library.
