Luba

In the summer of 2003, famed photographer Petter Hegre married Luba and the world of nude photography was never quite the same again. Like the famed works of Alfred Stieglitz who photographed his lover Georgia OKeefe over the course of their intimate lives together, Petter Hegre and Luba have amassed and amazing collection of imagery that has been conveniently compiled into one volume.

Many critics refer to Luba as a photographic tribute from Petter Hegre to his wife. Perhaps this is true, but for those of us who look at this volume from an outside perspective it is an equal tribute to the work and dedication of Petter Hegre to the craft of photography. There is a careful attention to detail presented here; a knowledge of composition, of style, and of aesthetic wonders that few purveyors of the nude in photography could match. No doubt this was possible in large part due to the personal relationship between photographer and subject, which allows and unprecedented level of time and thoughtful contemplation to be thrown into the work.

Luba has quickly become a classic among publications dealing with the nude and photography. It is more then just a thoughtful study on the beauty of the female nude but transcends the genre into a study on human relationship and the bond between a man and a woman.
