From the Publisher:

New York photographer Laurent Badessi has chosen the human body as the vehicle by which to express his quest for perfection and endeavor to achieve the right balance between beauty and emotion, man and nature, with skin as the key theme. With elegant minimalism, he extapolates the harmony between opposites of black and white, fluid curves and straight lines. The handwritten comments of 65 world-famous artists from the fields of fashion, art, music and dance add a new and significant slant to this unparalleled series of nude studies. The book is sensual, informative, and truly luxurious.

From the Author:

I'm always trying to show that harmony is the product of resemblances and differences. I always put two extremes together and try to show that the shape of the body often resembles nature and that the two are connected.
