Once more Petter Hegre brings us a collection of photos of his wife nude, albeit a different wife to last time. In typical Hegre style we range from impromptu snapshots to highly posed studio shots. Some are very intimate and personal, some are fun, and some very relaxed and open shots wih Luba and her twin sister. The only theme in the book is Luba, and with Hegre's very clear, precise and defined colour style it really comes down to whether you like Luba or not as to whether you like this book. There is no doubt that Hegre is a talented photographer, but this may be too personal to have the broader artistic appeal of abstract nudes. It's a sexy book, but ultimately I think more important to Petter and Luba than anyone else.
