There is more to his photographic insight than simply parallels in fine art. Farber is not the only photographer who presents soft, textured nudes. He seems to go beyond the obvious to capture unusual juxtapositions of the body parts and multiple figures. Long before other photographers had established their reputations for photographing beautiful provocative male and female forms, Farber had already captured the arresting beauty of both. In advance of other derivative photographers, Farber played with the mystique of the model--the hidden face and the exposed body. Finally, Farber's innovations in lighting, particularly his use of the Hollywood lighting of the 1920's, is most impressive. The way his lighting caresses the nude body provides a delicate sensuality that appeals to both men and women.
