Synopsis
Over the course of his career, Jock Sturges' long-term engagement with his subjects has been a cornerstone of his work. Misty Dawn, one of his primary and most popular muses is one such subject; he has photographed her for twenty-five of her twenty-eight years. Lithe, beautiful, classically proportioned, she is the personification of Sturges' philosophy of being at home in one's body. This work follows her growth from a shy, tomboyish child to a gorgeous, confident young woman. Taken as a whole, this series of images presents a unique, fully realized portrait of a blossoming individual and explores a rare and beautiful relationship between photographer and subject. "Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse" presents iconic images as well as previously unpublished material, mined from Sturges' older contact sheets and newest work.

Ich will mal versuchen, eine Rezension zu schreiben, die diesem Buch gerecht wird:
Misty Dawn - Nebliger Morgen. Ein geheimnisvolles und verspieltes Pseudonym eines Mädchens, dessen Heranwachsen Sturges in traumhaften Bildern festgehalten hat.
Ja, der Name passt. Wir begleiten ein fantasievolles junges Wesen, das sich völlig entspannt ihrem Spiel in der Sonne, am Strand, im Camp hingibt, allein und mit ihren Freundinnen, völlig frei und ohne störende Kleidung. Manchmal aber scheint sie direkt aus der Theateraufführung zu kommen, mit lustigen Kostümen, bisweilen auch gekrönt von einem kleinen Heiligenschein.
Unvergleichlich aber die Aufnahmen am und im Wasser. Das Bild auf Seite 37 ist einer der schönsten Rückenakte, die ich kenne. Ganz schmal, die Hüfte leicht eingeknickt, scheint sie von Wassergeistern und Elfen zu träumen.
Oft wirkt sie ernst. Sie wird älter. Am Ende begegnen wir einer erwachsenen Frau und Mutter - die ihren Weg gefunden hat.
Ein wunderschönes Bilderbuch! Ein Traum! ein Erlebnis!

Ich kenne sämtliche Bildbände von Jock Sturges und alle sind sehr gut bis gut.Doch Misty Dawn ist meines erachtens ein nicht so gut gelungenes Fotobuch von Jock Sturges.Beim auspacken des Buches habe ich gedacht es ist ein wahres Schnäppchen wirklich sehr günstig.Großformatiger Bildband sehr gut,doch die Aufnahmen sind nicht so wie die alten Fotografien von Jock Sturges.Oder es sind die alten Fotografien mit in diesem Buch,weil sie sich immer wiederholen. Der einzige Unterschied ist das die Modelle älter geworden sind.

Professional still lifes
30. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Originally assumed Sturges would be a bit of a pedophile, but none of this work (or his others) are obviously erotic. Rather these are family pictures, of gentle, casual nudity, just as so many great photogs did casual pictures of people in everyday life. Yes, the jaded can insert eroticism, but I found the pictures to be friendly, as I would approve (with care and caution) for my own daughters and sons. Sturges admits to a factor of eros, but that exists in mainstream magazines, films, etc., to a much greater extent because they are intentionally sexy, and try hard to become borderline porno. In Sturges' work I found no porn, no sexiness, no commercial push, just a pleasing image, as one would find a great artwork, a landscape, a fine wine. The beauty of young women, and I admit I'm smitten with Misty Dawn, is timeless, clothed or not. Along with Hamilton, I find Sturges' work calming, a reminder that there really is beauty in the world, not just the everyday ugliness (like Hollywood glamour). Real people, real beauty, real world. If you aren't comfortable with honest nudity, don't buy this art. I'm a man, and not at all ashamed of appreciating the opposite sex, as I have discovered they appreciate men and boys. Sex isn't dirty, and doesn't need to be pornographic to be enjoyed. Put in its proper place(thanks mom and dad), such as art, it can simply be appreciated for what it is. I like portraits, whether face or full body or in between, and these portraits are lovely. If your friends aren't dirty-minded, this is one of an assortment of great coffee table books.

A unique portrait
16. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Any one photo captures a person for one instant. This collection presents twenty-four years of the woman's life. Not just a model, Misty Dawn is Sturges's friend and inspiration. That friendship comes through clearly in this progression of photos. The earliest shows a solemn girl, maybe seven years old. Even then, she confronted the camera directly. That self-possession, plus a face with a strong beauty even then, remain constant throughout.
Later pictures show Misty Dawn growing through her coltish early teens, blossoming into young adulthood, and having children of her own. Since she comes from a naturist family, she most often appears wearing only her native charm. That lets the viewer trace each stage leading up to the full womanly beauty of the last pictures, probably around age thirty.
Other one-model collections exist, including some very good ones. They all present one stage of the model's life, though - just a few days or months of her life. Since this covers the large majority of the model's life, it offer a unique view, not just one moment, but all the passages she has experienced. But it doesn't just show Misty Dawn herself, it shows Sturges's view of her as a lifelong friend, and that adds immeasurably to this incredible montage.

Average - But Worth Getting if a Fan
21. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Misty Dawn hasn't been one of my favorite models/subjects that Jock Sturges has used over the years, but I bought this book anway as I very much enjoy his photography and I've liked some pictures of Misty in the past.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes, pretty much. Would I reccomend it to other fans of Mr. Sturges? Yes. But am I particularly excited about it? Not so much. I liked his other new book "Life Time" (which was just released) much better and I highly recommend Sturges fans buy that one from Amazon as well (though Misty is only featured once in it).
I would like to see Jock devote another book to a single model, one found in "Life Time" named Adele. That I'd find more interesting.
About the pictures in this book, they're all up to his usual standard of excellence. If you're familiar with his past work and remember the picture of Misty Dawn and two other girls sitting behind a window with two panes of glass missing... you'll probably find it interesting (as I did) that he brings Misty and those two girls back to that very same window frame about 5 years after the original and once more about 5 or 6 years after the second.
If you're a fan of Misty Dawn, buy this book. If you're just a fan of Jock Sturges in general and collect his books, but you're on a tight budget and are trying to decide between this one and his other new book... buy "Life Time" first and save this one for later.
