Laurent Benaim presents 300 of the photographer's 1,000+ photos in what will be among TASCHEN's most transgressive - and talked about - titles, with an introduction by editor Dian Hanson. 9783836572408Bruce W.

Dian Hanson produced a variety of men's magazines from 1976 to 2001, including Juggs, Outlaw Biker, and Leg Show, before becoming TASCHEN's Sexy Book Editor. Her titles include the "body part" series, The Art of Pin-up, Masterpieces of Fantasy Art, and Ren Hang. Parisian photographer Laurent Benaim (born 1965) specializes in the depiction of edgy and unusual sexuality. Shooting only real couples and amateur models, and working with the Victorian gum bichromate print process, he has garnered an international following, both online and in more daring galleries.
