Painting pretty pictures - Rankin|Liza Barber

A book for photography and fine art lovers alike: a stunning compilation of nudes, in which photographer Rankin blurs the line between photography and painting. Inspired by Gerhard Richter amongst others, Rankin photographed the worlds top models naked against sumptuous materials. He then pushed the boundaries of modern retouching and showed what artistic effect it can have by turning his photographs into apparent oil paintings. A departure from his usual style, this book may surprise those familiar with Rankin's work.
