What's most striking is not just the imagery itself, scantily-clad, beautiful girls are always striking, but the extraordinary way that Higgs incorporates color & composition. The entire book is a psychedelic carnival of sexual and fetish imagery showcasing lush and dramatic scenes, rich saturated colors, weird angles & twists, and a collection of women who are undeniably arousing make this book a dreamworld that even Gumby would get off on ... If he could get inside. It's a breathtaking new vision, albeit one that not everyone will immediately understand, so don't be surprised to hear critics saying they didn't "get it". Don't be swayed though, the art world would be well served if it had more creatives like Lee Higgs pumping out exciting and original works like this. Generation Fetish is a superb publication and a great intro to Lee Higgs' work. Reviewer: Kayla from East Moline, Illinois I met this man on BME (a body modification community website) and loved what pictures he had up. I got a link from his site and wanted to die when I found out he had a book published. I had thought that his art was wonderful! Last night I finally found a bookstore where I could buy Generation Fetish. It was the best spent [money] ever. His angles and colors are what spun me around but he also has a great eye for what is arousing. I was only wishing there was more! #Sexy, Powerful, and Original, November 18, 2001 Reviewer: Diva from NYC Wow, this is the most original and sexy book of photos that I have seen in a long time! Here is someone who looks at sexuality in a way that is really fresh & unique, and is not afraid to show all kinds of women and all kinds of moods. It took me a few hours to get through it the first time - I was drawn into the photos like I was entering a new world. The book is nicely done too, with over 300 photographs, on good rich paper with a solid binding. #Overwhelmed, March 7, 2002 Reviewer: bas_artist East Los Angeles, California: I don't know where to begin. This book is amazing! ! ! The photographic composition, the mood, the sexy females, the look of the film, the lighting. I can't get over the distoroted angles of view into the sensual fetish world captured by Higgs. These models are something else. I flipped through the pages very slowly & tried to cram all the imagery into my twisted mind for later fascination and came to realize that I wasn't even half way through the book yet & I couldn't take it anymore. #Over exposed, colorized, fetish pictures, March 6, 2002 Reviewer: Tristano from Atlanta, Ga This is an Art-photo collection. You may not like it. The intro, the only text in the book, talks about the artistic quality of the photographer, the mood the models, and the social meaning of the pictures - total bunk. You either like the pictures or you're offended. All that yap about "He leaves the stuffy and outdated photo scene to seek a self-confident, vibrant generation for whom the fetish. " is just fodder. These are colorized pictures of girls bound or wearing corsets - period. I liked the pictures. Although the pictures have an over-exposed look, he processed the pictures a second time and added reds and yellows which is very cool. It makes the people look like they are posing under red lights but their clothing is still yellow or whatever. .
