CUSTOMER REVIEW - 5 STARS:
Irreverent, Masterful, and Hilarious!! Lori Mann is a professional boudoir photographer from Los Angeles who has been top of the line in her field for years, and is sought out by a huge clientele. In this entertaining and informative work, she gives the low down on how to break in to erotic photography. In easy to follow, personable prose, she leads you step-by-step. I picked up the book just because it looks interesting — I am no erotic photographer by any means!! — and just couldn’t put it down because I loved the brassy humor on every page. If she ever does a book tour and comes through Seattle, I’d love to see her.
