Esther Haase Boeken

A former dancer, trained in classical ballet, uses the element of movement to create images full of vibrant sensuality and delicate eroticism. It is the dance of the photographer with her models. This young, award-winning photographer is an exceptional talent among fashion photographers. Her works are filmic visions, professionally staged and composed, yet possessing an extraordinary levity. Her sensitivity creates an on-set atmosphere that allows her to produce images charged with femininity. As she says, "The most important thing for me is to generate an impression of spontaneitya trace of movement." 102 full-size color plates

The body is the most immediate and intimate means of expression: its beauty and elegance are capable of defying age and commonplace notions of beauty. The author celebrates physicality and the sheer joy of life in her photographs.
