Reviews
Let me start by saying that it pains me to write this review. I LOVE Sante's photography and his previous books (which I own) are brilliant. This is such a missed opportunity that it blows my mind. Yes, many have associated the Catholic school girl outfit with fantasies.. I get it... but where are the fantasies?!?! The book looks like it was shot entirely in one day with a model that couldn't be more bored or undirected as to why she was there with a camera pointed at her in the first place. This school girl genre was so ripe for a clever, sexy story told with pictures.. or an essay of the gradual flow of the innocence of the school girl to the discovery of herself as a woman.. or the good girl/bad girl theme. There was no attempt at all to be playful, teasing, sexy, naughty, or just clever in any way with the photos. The book itself is very well made.. great stock was used and it feels like a quality art book. Unfortunately it's almost completely empty inside of what I believe many buyers of this book are hoping to get. I'm sadly returning mine tomorrow.
