The Allure of Gravure Photobooks: A Collector's Perspective
Part 1: What is Gravure? Defining the Aesthetic
To understand the gravure photobook, you must first understand gravure. Historically, "gravure" refers to a printing process (rotogravure) used for high-quality magazine inserts. However, in modern pop culture—particularly in Japan—gravure (often abbreviated as "Gurabia") describes a specific genre of photography.
The Golden Rule: If a website offers the entire library of a major gravure studio for free, it is a trap. Legitimate "free" content is limited, curated, and usually branded with watermarks or lower resolution.

Great set of pictures Matthew. I love the colour ones in particular but all are excellent. You’ve really nailed the lighting and composition.
Thanks Jezza, yes I plan to try to use some colour film on the next visit to capture more colour images but sometimes black and white just suits the situation better. Many thanks!

You do good work. I personally like the interaction between a rangefinder camera and a live model moreso than a DSLR type camera, which somehow is between us. Of course, the chat between you and the model makes the image come alive. The one thing no one sees is the interaction. Carry on.
Thanks Tom, yes agree RF cameras block the face less for interactions. Agree it’s the chat that makes shoots a success or not. Cheers!
