Naked : A Photographic Expose on Flowers Book

Walter Hubert invited one hundred of the world's most prominent photographers and celebrities to use flowers in artistic expressions of their fantasies, visions, and dreams. The extraordinarily beautiful images in Naked: Flowers Exposed are passionate, whimsical, erotic, and sometimes even disturbing, but all reveal the secret thoughts that flowers can conjure up in our psyches. From Bruce Weber's dog Skye reclining among stems of roses, Sofia Coppola's image of the ever-beflowered Elvis shrine, Joel Grey's gigantic interpretation of lilies of the valley, and Galen Rowell's classic vision of spring wildflowers to Firooz Zahedi's saintly close-up of Claire Danes in a wreath of roses, an overalled Malcolm McDowell clutching sunflowers in Tuscany, Richard Gere's minimalistic rendition of a Tibetan monk, and Steven Meisel's interpretive elegant spray of peonies draping Linda Evangelista's body, the result is stunning: a visual feast that captures the infinite power and simplicity of flowers.
