Elysium Girls Paperback – 1 Sept. 2017

Beautiful pictures of attractive, healthy women. What more is there to say? Some are a little risque, but Soell never makes those pictures seem "dirty" to me. They are very comfortable in their own skin and they seem happy in front of the camera. No "deer in headlight" look like some photographers have on their models.

Outstanding images. Perhaps Soell's finest work. Images merge the characteristics of glamour and art photography. The models are well above average in figure and traditional beauty. Most are outstanding body models and are on the curvier side. Soell apparently prefers ample breasts and generally excludes models below a full "C cup". Models are also of a more standard proportion than many fashion models who tend to longer legs, shorter torsos and very much above average height. These models could be considered the well above average girl next door. In other words, they are not the extraordinarily unusual Brazillian or European fashion models but they are beautiful and are obviously chosen for full breasts, round hips and beautiful faces.Soell's lighting is soft but revealing of definition and shape. His images are sharp, well defined and have good contrast and color saturation without having an overly saturated look.

Otro gran trabajo de de Stefan Soell, me encantan sus fotos, buena impresión y encuadernado

Un ouvrage à mi-chemin entre le nu artistique et le nu académique.Ces photographies sont réalisées en studio, le plus souvent devant un fond papier allant du noir jusqu'au blanc, en passant par différentes nuances colorées et de gris. Les poses sont intéressantes, la composition et la mise en scène s'avèrent épurées mais efficaces, la lumière toujours bien gérée. Par conséquent, je conseille sans hésiter cet ouvrage de Stefan Soell aux étudiants en photographie, ainsi qu'aux photographes amateurs ou professionnels souhaitant travailler le nu. Il sera en outre bienvenu dans les bibliothèques des clubs photo et des amateurs d'art.

'Elysium Girls' is an outstanding collection of Stefan Soell's latest and greatest works. It is difficult to believe that Stefan's work can get better than his already superior collections previous published, but it does. Stefan's vision and amazing photographic skills make this book a must have for any photographer, artist or one who appreciates the finest in photographic excellence. This book is definitely SIX Stars.
