British photographer Bob Carlos Clark's (1950–2006) photo collection, Obsession (Japanese Edition), published by Quartet Books in 1981, is a representative work from his early career. Starting out in commercial photography and fashion, Clark is known for elevating provocative nudes and fetishistic imagery into fine art photography. Using dramatic lighting and meticulous monochrome prints, he vividly conveys sensuality and visual tension through the contrasts of female bodies, clothing, and light and shadow. In this book, subjects clad in fetishistic motifs such as latex and leather are surrounded by strong contrasts in a stage-like setting, creating a tense psychological distance between the photograph and the viewer. A preface by critic Philip Garner provides additional context, creating a vivid impression of the unique sensual aesthetic that Clark established in the London photography scene of the early 1980s. This is the Japanese edition published by Treville.
