Collector-grade signed copy of Allan Jenkins’ cult classic “Nude Photography: The Work of Allan Jenkins” – a 2006 Quarto hardback personally autographed by the master photographer himself. 128 oversized, matte-coated pages showcase Jenkins’ celebrated studies of the human form, printed in rich duotone on heavy stock that makes every shadow and muscle ripple leap off the page. The book arrives complete with its original dust jacket, boards square and tight, pages clean and unmarked except for the author’s own hand-written inscription—an instant conversation piece for the shelf or studio.
Inside, Jenkins demystifies the art of nude photography without ever slipping into the clinical or the clichéd. Short, diary-like notes sit opposite each image, revealing how he located each shot, coaxed natural poses from first-time models, and exploited window light, sea-fog and weathered walls to create images that feel intimate yet timeless. The layout functions like a visual notebook: contact sheets, Polaroid tests and lens-scribbled exposure data are reproduced in situ, letting students and collectors follow the creative process from concept to final print.
Out of print and increasingly scarce, the first-edition ISBN 9781902538433 now trades for three-figure sums in the secondary market. A signed and inscribed copy in this condition is the copy serious photographers hunt for—equal parts reference manual, coffee-table art book and signed modern collectible.
