Women by Stefan May
36 of 126 photographs out of the coffeetablebook "Women",
published by teNeues (2004)
I have already using Stefan May's pictures for years in articles, portfolios or for front-covers. His work fascinates me.
(...) You might think that he is talking to the models, leading them, directing. However he is more concerned to get a feel for them, to get their scent and to electrify them.
(...) The women in your pictures, Stefan, are never cold, model beauties, with no imperfections. Your photographs are the opposite of lethargic, aesthetic facades, which have been taken for glossy magazines. they make the bodies tangible, with the warm skin being tantalized by your light. Your models are sensual accomplices, who show their support in their vivacious look.
When your camera lense is uncovered, all women become goddess-like, I speak for all men when I say: thanks, Stefan.
