"First ..." is, well, first. First, that is, of a series of reasonably priced volumes that will cover the years since 2001 that Stephen Haynes has been photographing the female nude. "First ..." covers years 2001-03 and several models, some of whom were also doing their own first -- their first nude modeling, that is.

Since 2003 Haynes's work has been known to a large and growing number of collectors across the world who own his prints and follow his work online. Now the best of that work will be disseminated more widely through this series, of which "First ..." is the initial volume.

"First ..." contains thirty-six photos of thirteen models, in studio, on location, or out in nature. The book is an especially cost-effective way to acquaint yourself with Mr. Haynes's work.

For another, larger, thematic collection, see his other book, "The Box."
