Uwe Ommer: Black Ladies

African Queens: Simple, sensual portraits of dark-skinned beauties "Poets have described the beauty of African women with their words,
Uwe Ommer with his camera."
Photo Presse, Germany

Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned works, as this book eloquently attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the stunning landscape of Africa.  Text in English, French, and German
