Third collection of photographs from Union Publishing Limited. This time the photographer is London-based Piczo, who has been shooting for over 10 years. A total of more than 120 models in the book, all of whom are new to modelling. Piczo has established his own style by photographing new models on a weekly basis, and the intimate portraits taken in the artist's own room and in the neighbourhood bring out the unadorned, natural charm of his subjects to the full. The book is a beautiful and unparalleled collection of portraits, with glimpses of changes in style from period to period and a lingering sense of the gap between the past and the present.
