Before the beasts: A Collection of Never-Before-Seen Photographs Celebrating the Beauty of the Female Form by Ray Ferry

ABOUT SKINZ:

Most fans of Ray Ferry's work on Famous Monsters of Filmland and Freaky Monsters magazines know that, before launching those titles and starting a new Ghoulden age of classic monster movie magazines, Ferry worked as a photographer specializing in portraiture, fashion and beauty images.  During the 1970s and 80s, with studios in New jersey and New York City, Ferry captured the alluring beauty of thousands of women -- from aspiring models to dancers, actors, artists, and just plain everyday ladies who were anything but ordinary. 
 
Now -- for the first time ever -- Arco Publishing is proud to present a stunning portfolio of Ferry's photographs from those years.  The collection features some of his catalog and advertising work but most images are from personal and private shoots never meant for commercial use. This issue contains over 100 pages of personal expression, experimental styles and private commission assignments.

For these images, Ferry worked primarily in black and white crafting each negative and print by hand and the graytone shades highlight the joy, the sensuality, the strength and the mystery of these incredible women.Most of the images are reproduced in full page spreads. For the aficionado of the exquisite beauty of the female form, this will be a treasured edition.

In regular series, SKINZ magazine will feature exciting and innovative images of women from a variety of photographers and artists all over the world.  But this issue -- Volume 1, Number 1 -- is solely devoted to the work of Ray Ferry.  For Adults Only.
 
Sample images and Pre-order information will be posted here in May, 2025.
