Features: In the 1990s, human body photography widely expanded in the field of expression. For example, the underwater female human body photography by American photographer Howard Schatz was successful and influential. He captured various movements of the human body and dancers in underwater forms, presenting a dreamlike underwater world. The photographer Jeanne-Loup Sieff, who had a kind of Oedipus complex-like obsession with the female body, admitted to having a shy feeling towards women. This book is a collection of photography of the human body, including different nationalities and human body photography. By the late 19th century, human body photography began to rebel against Impressionism. Some bold human body photography works, which used the photographic language itself, gained attention and recognition for their sincere and clear style. In the early 20th century, human body photography entered an era of diversified development. The nude, as a theme, whether female or male, attracted special interest from photographers. They firmly believed they had found an ideal direct photographic subject, and thus used various techniques to give the nude new meanings.
