Released 40 years ago ( 1982 ) , by N. Araki, " Lovers " is a very hard work. Limited edition with Obi, he signed it on the last colophon double-page Plenty of details, so difficult to resume it in few words. Araki took amateur female models and shoots them in love positions. He uses small shoots like contact sheets to give live in these intensive moments. Some small shoots shows his technic of lights, his choice of camera and lenz. 300 pages of black and white shoots with some commentaries in Japanese Stayed very good, protected under a parafin jacket since a long time ( yellowed at the perimeter) We can see under it thet the Obi is teared on a edge ( photo), a fold at the bottom on the page ( a small distortion , last photo), Inside stayed very good.
