At The Edge Of The World Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Alain Laboile resides with his family in a village in the southwest of France. A sculptor by trade, he acquired his first camera only a few years ago. But soon his six children and their natural and uninhibited lifestyle came to dominate his camera's attention: "Through my photographic work I celebrate and document my family life: a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Though my work is deeply personal, it is also accessible, addressing human nature and allowing the viewer to enter my world and reflect on their own childhoods."

I have no idea what sort of camera the author used but found this collection of portraits to be very mixed. Many (I'd guess half) of the pictures are not nudes, many of the nudes include at least one partially or fully clothed child. Few adults seen (2 or three pictures- one of a nude child in a room with clothed people, one of a nude pregnant woman showering with a child). Kids just being kids (even in the portrait of ones' muddy bare feet)The cover photo is very good but some of the portraits I'd call rejects for their composition, out of focus or something else. One reviewer complained about the nudity, genitals are never visible.This book doesn't come with a protective paper jacket, that is the book surface itself you're seeing, I'd like to take better care of my books than this allows for. No way to use a plastic library cover here.If Mr. Laboile comes out with another book, I don't know that I'll buy it- this one, nude or clothed portraits, had such mixed results.
Filled with amazing photographs, this book is a must have. Fans of Jock Sturges and Sally Mann will delight in Laboile's stunning photos of his family's rural life in France. Beautifully bound, you will definitely treasure this jewel for years to come.
As the point of spiritual healing, I love Alain's thankful efforts. Since Sally Mann's Immediate family, This has been an unexpected present. Keep good working~!
Great picture of childhood.
Very nice book.
