The favourite book by the artist himself Famous fashion photographer Paolo Roversi introduces the reader to his long awaited series of nudes. Whether famous or unknown, all models having posed for Paolo, have now turned into angels and figures of light; they are subtle and vulnerable mystical icons filled with erotic energy. The reader is faced with sensuous beauty, and the magic of the human body. This book is also a beautiful work of art thanks to the highest production values: Japanese binding, finest paper, high quality quatrotone printing all housed in a beautiful slipcase."
