Product Description

This text is available in English and German. The first collection of photographs by Alex Truew, this book is a romantic tribute to the beauty and innocence of youth. Even today, Russia is still a boundless, untamed country composed of many different peoples, a country offering richly varied types of women with features ranging from European to Asian. This mixture often creates fascinating, exotic beauties that fire the enthusiasm of more than Russian photographers. The collection contains remarkably intimate, sensitive portraits of Russian girls against backgrounds that are typical of their homeland Chr(45) in countryside or village settings, or nude in the snow.

Festive 'Girl-Next-Door' Glamour Photography
Photographer Alex Truew has created a spirited little book here that fans of the girl-next-door genre will find absolutely enticing. His models are Russian and Ukrainian girls, most of whom have never modeled before, and their newfound energy, freedom, and enthusiasm are what make this such a delightful body of work. Additionally, Alex has composed a short bio of each girl so that we get to know a little about her background, her personality, and her experience and thoughts on modeling nude for the first time. Nine girls are featured, ranging in age from 18 to 24 and each is a perfect specimen of wholesome, natural beauty - no tattoos, no implants, and nothing excessive that would detract from their magnificent natural gifts. The lovely settings are also a perfect compliment to the overall look and feel to this work. Most locations seem to be the Russian countryside or little parks. All images are shot in color and the feeling to each series is a festive, celebratory one. If this is album number one, then hopefully it won't be too long before we're able to enjoy the follow-up to this fetching work.

not what I expected
The titel says it all. I thought I would get a book with beautiful taken pictures with a high art value. Nothing of this all. Just some ' next-door girls' placed in the woods and that was it. Waste of money in my opinion.
