Kurzbeschreibung
Eines Abends überraschte er das Kindermädchen dabei, wie es sich mit seiner Polaroid vor dem Badezimmerspiegel fotografierte - für den Fotografen Uwe Ommer der Auslöser, ein Buch mit Selbstporträts von Frauen zu machen, für die Fotografieren Neuland war. Er stattete also die Teilnehmerinnen mit Kameras und technischen Grundkenntnissen aus und bat sie, sich zu fotografieren, wie immer es ihnen gefiel, befreit sozusagen vom voyeuristischen Auge des Fotografen. Manche porträtierten sich mit Hilfe von Spiegeln, andere stellten sich ohne Umwege der Kamera. Manche verzichteten völlig auf Ommers Mitwirkung, für andere sprang er als »Ghostphotographer« ein und half bei Beleuchtung und Bildeinrichtung. In beiden Fällen konnten die Modelle ihren Einfällen völlig freien Lauf lassen, sich sexy, aufreizend, romantisch oder einfach als sie selbst zeigen. Der Bogen der Selbstporträtistinnen reicht von Studentinnen, Schauspielerinnen, Stylistinnen bis zu Tänzerinnen, Models, Musikerinnen, Lehrerinnen und mehr. Dieses hoch originelle Buch eröffnet seltene Einblicke, wie alltägliche Frauen sich selber sehen - oder gerne sehen würden.
Synopsis
Inspired by a babysitter he surprised in front of the bathroom mirror shooting pictures of herself with his Polaroid, photographer Uwe Ommer decided to put together a book of erotic self-portraits by inexperienced photographers. Arming participants with cameras and basic technical instructions, Ommer asked them to photograph themselves in any way they pleased - liberated, so to speak, from the voyeuristic eye of the photographer. Some chose to use mirrors as they captured their portraits, while others braved the camera without the help of their reflections. While many subjects required no intervention by Ommer, for others he acted as "ghost photographer", helping them with the lighting and setup; in both cases, the models were free to indulge their inspirations in any ways they pleased - from sexy and provocative to romantic to simply being themselves. The cast of self-portraitists includes a wide range of personalities, from students to artists, actors, stylists, dancers, models, musicians, teachers, and more. This highly original book gives us a rare glimpse at the way everyday women see themselves - or wish they did.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The subtitle of this book from German legend, Uwe Ommer is, Sexy Self-Portraits by Everyday Women. The "everyday" women include an array of students, models, dancers, artists, actors, teachers, and so forth. They are for the most part a very photogenic and attractive bunch. Some are breathtakingly beautiful. So, if the casual viewer is expecting a book of average, ordinary, girl-next-door types he might be let down. But only for a moment, for this is a thrilling collection of nudes. Each shot is a self-portrait. Admittedly, Ommer assisted in helping create the final product by providing the camera and occasionally lending some technical assistance. But each subject composed a picture that represented the sexy siren that dwells within her. Sometimes the result are brilliant. And there is an indefinable quality to many of the shots here that make this one of most engaging and inspiring book of nudes published in recent times. Perhaps some of the magic rubbed off from Mr. Ommer himself. His recent book, 1000 Families, published in 2002 by Taschen jettisoned Ommer to the thresholds of genius.
Do it Yourself is 256 pages of sheer magic that everyone will love. The only flaw is that this book is not twice the size of its final production. 500 pages would not have been enough. One can only dream of the beauty edited from the final selection.

Truly naturally beautiful women in beautfully composed shots
25. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I bought this book on a whim. I had a feeling the women didn't compose all of the shots themselves. Not because a woman couldn't but because they weren't professional photographers. Some of the lighting and composition wreaked of a professional photographer. After looking through the photos I read the intro and indeed it addresses the fact that Uwe Ommer helped with lighting and composition with some of the shots. So, kudos for not hiding that fact.
I think the book is beautiful works of art of beautiful women and their surroundings. I don't believe for one second this is porn. There's nothing vulgar or disrespectful here. Just really nice shots.
Also the book is a lot bigger than I expected.
Highly recommended.

This exploration women of photographing themselves is beautiful and inspiring. The journal of the young woman who started the project is alluring and criminally erotic.

Misses the mark
11. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The concept is a good one: let the model choose pose herself and work the camera, as Andre Rival did with Self-Images. Given Ommer's past work, including Black Ladies, I had the highest hopes for a this new collection of figure photography.
Rather than use the controlled environment of his studio, Ommer tracked his lovely subjects to their lairs, to show them in their native environments. Ideally, the home and its content should have framed the model and exposed more of her personality. Instead, the backgrounds came across as cluttered and distracting. Even if the models controlled the camera and poses themselves, I counted on Ommer and his artist's eye to select those few snapshots that truly rose above the ordinary. Instead, the collection conveys an amateurish look.
I hoped for better, and he's done better. I hope he does better again in the future.
