Uwe Ommer, a sought-after commercial photographer based
in New York and Paris, has made a name for himself with his own uncommissioned
works, as this book eloquently attests. For the aesthete Uwe Ommer, the
bodies of black women represent the epitome of beauty. His photographs
are exactly what they show, no more and no less than a homage to female
beauty. And of course that homage is paid in the perfect setting, the
stunning landscape of Africa.
Calixthe Beyala, born in Cameroon, is one of the leading Francophile
African poets. The texts in this book were written especially as a commentary
on the photography of Uwe Ommer.
