The New Erotic Photography

In 2007 TASCHEN released

The New Erotic Photography

, followed in 2012 by

The New Erotic Photography 2

. Each book featured hundreds of fresh and provocative images from the world's most intriguing erotic talents. Now the

best of both books is available in

The New Erotic Photography

, featuring 62 photographers from 10 countries, exploring the

global variations of erotic photography

, as well as the evolution of photographic media over the last decade. We see film give way to digital, while those who persist with film are as likely to use Polaroids and primitive cameras like the Lomo and Holga as traditional SLRs.

The featured photographers include new names Gregory Bojorquez, Jo Schwab, Tomohide Ikeya, Frederic Fontenoy, Andrew Pashis, and Jan Hronsky, as well as established artists Guido Argentini, Bruno Bisang, Eric Kroll, and the late Bob Carlos Clarke.

Several outstanding women

are also featured in this edition, including erotic film star Kimberly Kane, digital pioneer Natacha Merritt, heavy metal skateboarder Magdalena Wosinska, self-portraitist Jody Frost, and cover artist April-Lea Hutchinson. It all adds up to

an awful lot of nudes for a tantalizingly low price

.
