Gilles Berquet Books & Photographs

Gilles Berquet is a Parisian photographer who delves into the worlds of erotic beauty, domination and submission and the interaction between artist and model using the naked and exposed female body as his inspiration. He is an exceptional creative force, making photographs and publishing his work since the mid-1980s. More about Berquet here. 

Along with books and original photographs by Berquet I have issues of Maniac magazine published in Paris by Editions Astarte, designed and edited by Berquet.
