From Behind is a photo book featuring an eclectic cast of characters taken in locations far and wide From Behind.

My honestly opinion:
Nope - just people from behind ... I don´t need that, so no recommendation, save your money! It´s only photos, no design, no text, no nothing!! only for hardcore fans!

Note: ´sorry, no grades today!!!

Thanks for the ARC

A mixed bag, but an overall enjoyable one. Some pictures and juxtapositions didn't work for me, but I appreciated the artist's vision. Recommended if you'd like a quick glance at the world from another perspective!

I received a digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.

David Jerome takes photos and dives into a realm I've never seen before. Photography of humanity generally focuses on the persons face, their eyes, movement and emotion. It was interesting flipping through these pictures because you never see anyone's face. David makes you attach emotion to something other than what is familiar. At first I found it hard to connect to the pictures, but as I kept flipping I started to appreciate the way it made humanity mysterious and encouraged a greater story. It challenged my perspective on how I view humans, which is something I can always appreciate.

From Behind: A Peculiar Perspective of People & Places
by David Jerome is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. 
This is an art/photography book showing people and their backgrounds from behind. At first I just glanced through and didn't see what the artist wanted the reader wanted us to see. I slowed down and and looked at them again and noticed things I didn't see the first time and enjoyed it more. Some of them I still just thought were just "pictures".

This book had me scratching my head.

I snickered at a few of the shirt/hat sayings and felt like a creep as I looked at people from behind.

Author David Jerome offered a unique perspective to the world of photography. Images of people, places and things were all captured from behind. As if actually being there, I was overtaken with a sense of realism. Amusingly, there were times when I felt I was actually eavesdropping. Encountering the collaboration of these pictures made for an engrossing first. 

I offer my gratitude to NetGalley and Smack Books for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  
From the publisher, as I do not regurgitate the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it.

This book is photos that are taken, well, from behind.  They were interesting to look at and the perspective was (truth be told) wonderful for my hubby as he loves looking at women from behind.  These were not fetish photos: they are pictures of people from behind and often what they are looking at is the point of the photo. I recognized a Paintnite even.

It got repetitive pretty quickly, truth be told, and I started losing interest pretty quickly. If art books are your thing then this book is for you: me? not so much.

This was such an interesting book. It was amazing how much of a person you could see while never seeing their face. What they were, or in some cases what they weren't, their grooming, their partner, their friends, their hobbies, their opinions. Not to mention some of the most breath taking places. 

One thing that might have been interesting to have a little blurb about where in the world the picture was taken included.

And oddly delightful book showing that people come in all shapes and sizes. This review has been left on Goodreads.

This is a unique and original
photography book.
Taking random 
pictures of people
from all over the world,
but from behind.
Often the subject is un aware
of the picture being taken.
A wonderful look
at the myriad people who 
make up the world.
