Updated: November 2, 2001 "Models of African descent including Naomi Campbell, Iman and Karen Alexander, are celebrated in these images..." —Playboy "...the subjects are black models including Naomi Campbell, Kiara Kabukuru, and Alek Wek—who are photographed in rich, wet, stark, and sleek black-and-white. By stopping just short of mythologizing these beauties, Le Goues enables each woman to exude her own theatrical presence. Soul is heartfelt and erotic." —Vibe "Le Goues, frustrated by his inability to book black models for fashion shoots, pays homage to his inspiration in this sensuous collection. Naomi Campbell, Iman, Kiara and others are slathered with greasepaint and turned into living sculptures before Le Goues' lens for an effect that is both erotic and majestic." —Paper "It's a pure form of fascination, a concotion that is created slathering models with grease paint and bouncing lights off them. For Le Goues, it's about love and fascination—with photography as well as women." —American Photo Holiday Round-up, The Source |
