Book Reviews of Poinsard: Tropical Blend
Book Review: Equatorial Eroticism
Summary: 5 Stars
Crystal clear waters, deep blue skies, sunny beaches and lush vegetation form the backdrop for Tropical Blend, a collection of photographs which are sensual, not only in the traditional (and expected) eroticism inherent in the subject matter—beautiful young women relaxing nude and semi-nude in classic visions of tropical paradise—but also in the quality of the images, which make the clinging weight of the humid air, the grit of the beach sand, the cool caress of damp fabric, the salty tang of the ocean spray palpable and real.
True to the title, the book is a blend. While the lion's share of the photographs are exquisitely realized nudes and semi-nudes, the oft-overlooked but essential trappings of the tropical fantasy Poinsard is constructing are also given their due. The brilliantly hued throat of an exotic flower which instantly fills up your head with its fragrance, the glistening body of a freshly opened oyster that you easily imagine slithering delightfully across your tongue—it is these details and their interplay with the remainder of the images in form, color, and metaphor which elevate Poinsard's book from the merely slick to the polished.
Summary of Poinsard: Tropical Blend
Entering the universe of Bruno Poinsard means entering a world of resonance. Textures and colours set as counterpoints, chromatic correspondences, rhymes of bodies and fabric. The photographs of Bruno Poinsard ennoble the woman - a woman one can relish, one can breath in, a woman one can touch. The woman in his pictures is not an object of desire. She is desire. If she were a flower, he would let us smell her fragrance. If she were a fruit, we could taste her aroma. Her perfume wakens all of our five sences and allures us with a thousand enchantments. Looking closely at Bruno Poinsard's work you will understand how this photographer of beauty manages to stage the promised dreams for magazines so brilliantly. However, his talent expresses itself across his whole work: depicting female beauty in all its humaneness; making woman accesible without exhibiting her. Bruno Poinsard is one of the few photographers who can present the image of a woman and reveal her hidden dimension without violating her intimacy.Photo Essays Books
