Features: For humans, the human body itself is beautiful. To present the beauty of the human body, the mostsimple way may be the mostbeautiful way. What a photographer can do is not to play with techniques, nor to rigidly manipulate difficult poses, but to rely on their keen eyes to graspnatural forms andunintentional moments, thereby helping people discover beauty that might be overlooked. Why can "returning to simplicity" lead to "returning to the true"? Through "nude photography," one might more authentically understand the underlying principle. For appreciators, the beauty of the human body is not solely determined by gender. Photographers of "nude photography" need to distance themselves more from the cultural inertia of "male-centricity" and possess a pure, detached aesthetic eye. Only in this way can a natural and elegant beauty of the human body be conveyed to the public. This photobook largely continues the previous aesthetic style, with the photographer still being the female photographer Shi Song. Due to their deep collaboration, more perfection has been uncovered, truly living up to people's expectations. Tong Jiali's photography is a genuine, unobscured portrayal, unlike the myriad of other artbooks in bookstores—some refined, some crude, some pursuing artistic taste, and others straddling the line between art and pornography. "Tong Jiali's Nude Photography" is also something that canbring aesthetic pleasure. Tong Jiali's photobook confirms an early famous quote by the "art rebel" Liu Haisu: "The beauty of the human body is the pinnacle of beauty!" The "Tong Jiali Nude Photography" is a small hardcover edition. While preserving the essence of the previous two volumes, it includes a large number of previously unpublished photographs. The book is printed on copperplate paper, featuring over 150 exquisite images that are both highly artistic and visually striking. The smaller format is more convenient for those who appreciate beauty to carry around and enjoy the true beauty of the human body anytime, anywhere. Through the delicate, straightforward, and authentic perspective of a female photographer, "nude photography" is elevated to a realm free of vulgarity. Although art is never perfect, this work is perfect, and thus it is destined to be remembered by future generations—becausethe humble eye, that is, the noble eye.
