SKIN trade edition
SKIN is a 250pp 11x14 fine art nude book featuring an introduction by Debbie Millman, and images of 115 celestial subjects shot over 5 years.
From the Marley editorial feature about SKIN:
I'd published 2 nude books already, both very slick and sexy, but I wanted to do something more in the spirit of my idols; Albert Watson, Richard Avedon, Annie Leibowitz. Something big, beautiful and black and white. I also wanted this new book to feel more like a book of portraits, naked portraits for sure, which really allowed me to dig into some serious vulnerability. And more than anything, I wanted to include every possible ethnicity, gender, shape, age - every kind of human I could possibly find in a 5 year timeline. Otherwise I'd be at it forever... having done this work for 16 years now, what tends to stick with me are the comments I occasionally receive about how it feels to be seen for the first time. So there was this drift away from shooting models to shooting people, in a sense. The first book SLIP was very model heavy, the next book SERAPH I opened things up, and shot some spectacular plus sized and trans subjects, and got some really beautiful emails from people who bought the book; who'd seen themselves or a loved one portrayed for the first time in a book of nudes. And that's what I want more than anything for SKIN. While there are of course some amazing models in the book, my focus was as wide as I could make it. I want everyone to see themselves somewhere inside. And to enjoy all the gorgeous black and whites, of course.
