The Opéra, a magazine for classic and contemporary nude photography, is a photo publication released each year about the most direct form of portraiture: nude photography. Editor Matthias Straub presents a brilliant range of nude photographs featuring the human body as stage and spectacle for the fifth time in this new volume. Just as the dramaturgy of a classical opera, according to Gustav Freytag, concludes with five acts, The Opéra will also conclude with this fifth edition. At 200 pages, the metaphorical finale is characterized by strong artistic means of expression––from extremely sensitive and delicate positions to more abstract and experimental nude photography. | The Opéra: Volume V by Matthias Straub, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
