Made over a period of 23 years, the images are at once beautiful in their detail of light and identity, as well as frankly anthropological in their descriptive effect. A naturist since birth, Fanny's comfort with nudity and her natural self has allowed Sturges to draw an engaging portrait of the evolution of a human being with few social distractions. His access to the girl's and woman's character is direct and fascinating. Long known for his extended portraits of children and adolescents, this book is strong evidence of Sturges' permanent commitment to the people in his work. Review: The Golden Age of Jock Sturges - Sturges’ work has always been about the passage of time - moments captured from the lives of key collaborators as they age and evolve, beginning as blank slates and gradually, slowly, book after book, making their inexorable way towards adulthood. There is real pathos in this, and this is the ultimate value that I draw from Sturges’ work. Working in close year after year, decade after decade, his captured images are like brushstrokes in much larger works than can only now be fully appreciated. The fragmented nature of his previous publications - a few new pictures of this or that person, then jump ahead a few years to the next book and do it again - were interesting, and the stunning technical specs of his large-format portraits never less than beautiful (although my opinion is that the shots themselves sometimes bordered on the pedestrian), but they always seemed somehow too diffuse, too abrupt. A person picking up one of his books without the context of the others would likely see random nude photos of random nude people, a shallow representation of what Sturges work is about (but what attracts the most notoriety). That all ended with "Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse," his first work devoted to just one subject. Finally, a lifetime of collaboration could be appreciated for what it was - a record of moments pulling ever forward. The trend continues with "Fanny," another publication dedicated to moments captured over 22 years in the life of one subject. Fanny has graced the cover of a previous Sturges overview, and has appeared in book after book, always recognizable, somehow universal, but also removed, protected from the outside world by the insular naturist community in France in which Sturges does a large amount of his work. I was delighted, then, to read Sturges' prelude to "Fanny," which lays out in very immediate terms a biographical sketch of the girl (now woman). There are revelations that suddenly lend every image in this book - and all previous images of Fanny - real gravity. Here, Sturges displays more than bodies - he shows a glimpse of heart and mind, as well, and the impact is incredibly powerful. I think Sturges power as a photographer lies in his ability to put his subjects so at ease that they cease to be anything contrived in front of the camera, and simply become themselves. For most of his models, he is like family, and that comfort comes through clearly in the body of work he continues to add to summer after summer. The power in the images lies with the models, not really with the photographer (a sentiment I think Sturges would agree with), as Sturges images have rarely been overly fussy or composed - just moments he happened to be privy to, and have the good fortune to capture with his camera. He is able to make us see his models as he sees them, as regular, beautiful people. Beautiful because they are regular, and because they are alive. Sturges seems to have entered a "golden age" in his career, where the work he has been creating for decades can now finally be seen as the immersive documents they really are, as opposed to mere snippets. I hope for many more of these single-subject overviews in the years to come. That is what Sturges' work is all about, and that is where it shines. Sturges explains a bit of his methods of working with Fanny in his introduction, and he explains that, although the work was created over a span of 22 years, Fanny didn't pose for him as often as you would think, and this volume represents almost everything they created together. That it is not a cherry-picked "best of" actually works in the book's favor, as many of the shots come across as more casual than what you would expect from a Sturges book. I think this works in the book's favor, as it even further underscores the nature of the collaboration, the reality of a friendship between two people, and gives a more natural overview of maturation and the passage of time. By far the deepest, most personal, and most affecting of Sturges' books, "Fanny" is an easy recommendation for anyone curious about Sturges or his work. Literally a lifetime in the making, it is human existence on a personal, yet somehow universal scale. Review: Truly Wonderful in Every Way. - I just received my copy of Sturges' latest monograph after almost a year waiting, and I can say without reservation it was well worth every day I waited for it. The book is large format, and the images stunning. The book is a true testament of what Jock's work is all about, and will be prized among my collection of Jock's books and images. I believe you've done Fanny proud Mr. Sturges, and I'm sure that she is overwhelmed with the effort! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,754,457 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #469 in Nude Photography #1,759 in Individual Photographer Monographs #2,643 in Portrait Photography | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 73 Reviews | ## Images ![Jock Sturges: Fanny - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SEjohdJwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Golden Age of Jock Sturges *by F***S on May 3, 2015* Sturges’ work has always been about the passage of time - moments captured from the lives of key collaborators as they age and evolve, beginning as blank slates and gradually, slowly, book after book, making their inexorable way towards adulthood.

The book is large format, and the images stunning. The book is a true testament of what Jock's work is all about, and will be prized among my collection of Jock's books and images. I believe you've done Fanny proud Mr. Sturges, and I'm sure that she is overwhelmed with the effort! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful and moving *by W***D on March 18, 2015* Sturges does it again. Much like his previous Misty Dawn , this photo essay follows the model from a young age, on through adulthood. It's fascinating to see the girl, the coltish teen, and the full flower of womanhood emerge over the course of years. As with Sturges's other collections, these aren't just photos of some model. They document a friend and his friendship - starting with Fanny's question about why there weren't pictures of her. As an adult, this lovely woman has a strong, distinctive look - a defined jaw that adds strength to femininity. Looking backwards in time, I was fascinated to see how early this feature became apparent, how the adult started to appear in the child. So, this works very well as a photo-biography. But it also works as a study in figuure photo, presented with warmth and sensitivity in a beautifully printed format. If you're not already familiar with Sturges's work, there's plenty to choose from - but the could be a good start. -- wiredweird --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4560922-jock-sturges-fanny](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/4560922-jock-sturges-fanny) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
