Looker

If you are a fan of Richard Kern's work, especially some of the shoots he's done on the VBS.TV "Shot By Kern" online episodes then you will love this book. A lot of the work featured in this book is of that style, very subtle in its eroticism, very quietly captivating images. The introduction is a very well written short story of sorts about the "modern voyeur" that is very well written and entertaining on a level separate from the images themselves. All in all if you buy one of Kern's books, I'd say to get this one.

kern triumphs at this, when you are turning the pages, you are silently hidden on a corner outside the house of a girl you liked so much you started to follow. you are reeling your camera, waiting... SNAP, she is yours.

Do you belive in magic? Richard Kern is an genres! He is very special in erotic photo. He is very alone in the way of work. He is unique!

The book itself is excellent quality and very nice to look at, with large full-page or even two page spreads. But the what the author is actually going for is a bit more confusing. Looking at the cover of the book, you're expecting a voyeuristic look into the lives of these beautiful women, but the pics seem to be more random than that. The pics go from very normal and boring, to expected voyeur, to highly unrealistic or voyeuristic pics that seem more like softcore pics for a much more adult type of publication. In conclusion, the book is a beautiful hardback with lots of content, I just wish there was more of the voyeur and less of the boring or the over the top, unrealistic content. Sticking to the central theme would have benefitted the book more.

This Is A Tastefully Done Look Into Voyeurism Without Any Creepy Thrown In. These Are Images Often Thougt About, But Not Captured By Photography. Bravo !

This is a book that anyone interested in photography will enjoy -- the images are playful, inventive and genuinely erotic, wittily toying with our expectations and luring us in with every page. It's also one of the most beautifully produced photo books I've seen in recent years. A real hit.

Richard Kern's Looker should be called a non-erotic version of Roy Stuarts Glympstorys, very soft core but disturbing in its implied content. The cover promised something the book didn't deliver. This is less about nice nudes and more about the kink of upskirt type photography but looked staged and not sexy. Minimal nudity but nothing redeeming about that in this context. Several pictures posted in the listing are not in the book but may be by the same artist, this is confusing and doesn't help. Only buy this if you are interested in looking at pictures that would be interesting to the sort of sad older man your parents warned you about.

Uno dei primissimi libri di questo famoso fotografo, intuitivo, geniale ...livello fotografico amatoriale, semplice e diretto. Consigliato a chi vuole conoscere un tipo d'immagine spontanea

Este es un hermoso libro. Una mirada estupenda de Richard, como fotos robadas, una mirada intima, secreta, insunuando un vouyerismo en el que tan bien se desarrolla este fotografo.

great coffee table book

i love shooting unposed shots, or at least ones that look unposed. I aslo like to try to capture some of the model's innocence and personality, this book is littered with images of both. Lots of lovely natural shots of beautiful women relaxed and apparently unaware of the csmera

Make sure to leave this out while your in-laws come over.
