Bondage: Laura Manson Stansfield Photocollection
Amazon.com Review
- By A. Dan "simoril" (israel)
The story behind this book is what attracted me to it in the first place, a turning point in the way the world views porn and fetish photography, images that are obscene and provocative, and was still used as evidence in a trial. I love those types of '50s and 60's porn, and so I thought it would appeal to me both on the turn-on level and a philosophical and artistically level (which is what I usually look for in erotic photography), the cover photo looked promising as well.
I was fairly disappointed, this book has loads of material in it, but the quality of scans and print is really bad, some of the photos look as if they were downloaded from the net or scanned in low resolutions on a home scanner, and they are small and arranged on the page and within the book, the book's pretty small, and those big white frames make it some of the photos seem like passport photos on a black page. The white and black balance is really bad in some of it.
I know this is archives material and that probably parts of this collection weren't in the best state, to begin with, but really - that doesn't justify such an amateur production.
I still recommend it, since it has a very wide collection, and the story behind it is fascinating to me, but if you are just looking for cool turn-on photos from the '50s and '60s there are some much better books.
