Guido Argentini - Private Rooms

Daring and provocative, these images of the female nude push the viewer’s limits and enters ‘forbidden territory’. Argentini plays with our notions of privacy and constructs a deeply erotic universe where it is hard to know what we will find–our hidden sexual fantasies or a parallel reality? These charged images are both sophisticated and raw, with a dark and extemely refined glamour all their own.

From the Inside Flap
Private Rooms is the result of an ambitious photographic project by renowned photographer Guido Argentini that took more than ten years to complete. All pictures were taken in the intimacy of closed rooms, ancient villas, modern apartments and numerous elegant hotels. Argentini plays with our notions of privacy and constructs a hidden erotic universe in which each image becomes a story with no beginning or end. While each photograph challenges the viewer to defy limits and enter forbidden territory, this is a collection that was clearly born out of a love for women and was completed only thanks to them.
