Roye
London: George Routledge & Sons, 1939-1942.Complete set of the four nudist volumes, in their dust jackets, on women of the United Kingdom by Horace Roye (1906-2002) from the Seen by the Camera series published in the early years of WWII. Each volume with a foreword on the beauties of the relative land followed by 48 black and white nude photographs. Roye was a class above many of his contemporaries and this four volume set is a clear demonstration of his talents. All of the photos in this series are of a single female model taken outdoors in numerous settings from numerous angles, beautifully captured and well printed, showing an ease and enjoyment between photographer and model. Roye’s battle against the censors is on show as well with the airbrushing at times barely attempted.

Lapdancer
Juliana Beasley
New York: powerHouse Books, 2003.“Determined to supplement her meager income as a novice photographer, Juliana Beasley embarked on an eight-year odyssey as a professional nude dancer… From New York to Reno, Beasley worked in over two dozen strip clubs, .. experiencing the rewards and pitfalls of the profession: variable income, flexible schedules, emotional and physical exhaustion, sex industry camaraderie–and an arrest for prostitution. Though she was a professional dancer, Beasley never forgot the purpose of her studies in documentary work. Along with negligees and stilettos, she regularly brought a camera to the clubs, and began recording testimonies from the managers, dancers, and patrons. The result is Lapdancer, an inside look at the world of professional nude dancing.” (publisher’s blurb)
