Nothing But The Girl (1996)uploaded 11/14/23
Notes:
What can I say? This book is epic. I’d never seen a book of lesbian erotic photography before, and as a coming out/coming around queer gal this really gave me a beautiful, indulgent, and educational starting point to get aquainted with lesbian art. Haven’t actually read the entire thing, but the introduction led me down some great rabbit holes of queer art history, and overall this book brought to my radar a lot of incredible photographers that I had never heard of. When I think lesbian photography, the first thing that comes to mind is Catherine Opie, but this book brought me to a slew of inspiring artists I otherwise wouldn’t have come by. Phyllis Christopher, Jessica Tanzer, Lola Flash, and Katie Niles are some of my favorites in this book.
