It features some lovely nudes of Brittany Marie. A mix of fine-art and glamour with some playfulness and a little eroticism.

This is my first self-published work in the nude genre. Curious to know others experience in publishing, particularly thru places like Blurb.

Thanks!!

i really like the idea of it.. i think there should be more photos in there.. maybe some from multiple sets or locations.

she is beautiful though.

Thanks. That's actually just a preview. I think the whole book has 120 pages with 8x10 images on each page.

Just curious, how many of these types of books do you make? And how many actually get printed and or sold?

This one has sold in the 30s so far. I have made several books on different subjects. Sales vary.

I was wondering what others have experienced.

Interesting. I would like to do something along these lines one day too. The meat of my photography is event based shoots and I literally have thousands of usable shots from most of the events. Hmm... You have me thinking... Hmm... ;)

Very interesting. I toyed with the idea a year ago and had a couple of themes in mind but didn't pursue it because I wasn't sure there would be that much of a market. But selling a 100 copies at those prices would make it worthwhile. Might have to reconsider.

How have your other books sold?

So far, sales have been pretty limited. But this was the first book of nudes and I would expect it to do a bit better.

It is priced a little on the high side but that leaves me some room to drop it later this year if I need to.
