Light Warriors

by Joyce Tenneson

A series of dramatic, up-close portraits of women, all taken with Polaroid's remarkable 20 x 24-inch camera. These striking images are reminiscent of Tenneson's earlier work (Transformations and Illuminations) in their haunting, dreamlike qualities. However, these striking portraits of the female figure, often partially nude, draped in fabric, with unusual headdresses or objects in their arms, illuminated by eerie light, are unforgettable and a bold departure from her earlier work. A must for Tenneson's loyal fans -- the photographic, feminist, and spiritual market -- and also for a more general audience, capitalizing on her increasing visibility in the fashion field.

[Gayle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am finding myself returning to this book over and over again. Joyce Tenneson has found a unique way of expressing women in a coloured monochromatic way. The subtlety of her work creates an impact that I can't yet explain. It just goes to show that monochromatic isn't simply about art being black and white.

This book is filled with Beautiful, Sepia tented monochromatic full body portraits of women. Warm, inviting, and mysterious. Tenneson's technique and approach to subject and form is amazing; if not breathtaking. A simply enchantingly wonderful book.
