Atlantic Sirens Hardcover – December 1, 2018

I love Stefan Soell's work, I have all his books. I especially like his outdoor photography, like in this book. Mr. Soell has an amazing ability to use natural light to create perfect images.Besides the beautiful women and fantastic locations, there were also some amazing sand sculpture in some of the photos. I emailed Mr. Soell to ask him who had made them and he said he did them himself! He also gave me a link to his Instagram page (which I can't post here) where I was able to see more of the sand sculptures that didn't make it into the book. Stefan Soell is an amazing artist as well as an incredible photographer!Another nice thing about his Instagram page are the fanciful narrative he added to the photos in his comments. I wish these and the other sand sculptures had been included in the book.The book does have some inspiring quoes as well as interviews with each model. All together, another great book.

these photos are very much erotic art people from other countries are very open minded and see nudity as beauty not something that should be censored and covered up, people from the U.S. are very prudish and want anything to do with nudity.

What I appreciate most about Stefan Soell's photography, beyond the lovely ladies and cinematic outdoor backgrounds, are the resulting warm skin tones and vivid colors. But unike his previous books, Atlantic Sirens is printed on a matte (non-gloss) paper. This makes skin tones less life-like, colors less vibrant. In an reply in an email I sent Mr. Soell about the paper, he said "Atlantic Sirens demand an honest, natural paper“. I can respect the artist’s choice of paper. Unlike Soell's previous books, Atlantic Sirens is organized by model. This books profiles eight beautiful models: Vika, Johannsdottir. Susann, Jana, Hanna, Anna, Alisa and cover model Olga.

Just love beautiful women photographed au naturel in the great out of doors, and in this case at the seashore. Unlike his other collections, here each model gets her full profile of photos in order, and they are all first rate. Beauty without exploitation, and without any vulgarity: priceless!

I thought the images are beautiful, even my wife feels the same way!! I plan on purchasing several more in this series.

good pictures well done! models that act happy not like spoiled brats or drugged out bitches

the content is very nice thak you very much the girl is very beautiful

This is one of Stefan Soell's more personal bodies of work. It's as much about the location as it is about the models. It was important that Stefan capture the purity of what he says is the last natural, unchanged coast in southern Europe (Portugal), where there are no signs of development, no buildings, no streets, no telegraph poles. Just skimming through Atlantic Sirens, its easy to understand and appreciate his feelings for this place - its a dramatic, brooding landscape, massive black cliffs, golden sand, and dark, tempestuous water exploding into white spray. Into this he throws eight beautiful women, young, naked, and natural, each from a distinct realm of Europe: Jana from Czech Republic, Johannsdottir from Iceland, Susann from Germany, Anna from Poland, Alisa from Hungary, Hanna from Canada/Portugal, Vika and Olga from Ukraine.This is a large format, thick, beautiful book. It includes eight sections - each devoted to one model along with an interview about her life, her background, her thoughts and impressions. Stefan's photography is astounding, absolutely masterful. His models are perfectly proportioned, long-haired, and seem delighted to pose nude amidst such natural grandeur. But there is a slight hint of reservation, at least when compared to his previous works. Perhaps a better word would be, maturation. The content, the color, even the texture of the book itself seems less processed and more natural. There's a sense of effortlessness, of true intimacy. The posing is more relaxed, more natural. There are a few intoxicatingly erotic images, but for the most part, the imagery is simple testimony to the natural beauty of both the girls and Iberian coastline. The book's paper is softer, more pulpy - gone are the glossy finish and digitally perfected colors in his previous books. This is Stefan Soell changing directions, at least for the moment. And it's pure magic. Atlantic Sirens is an exciting, sensual vision of the female nude. It's also an artist's faithful tribute to one of Europe's most beautiful an sacred places.
