Product Description: WELCOME TO NYC’S HOTTEST UNDERGROUND PARTIES
If you missed last night’s party, here’s your VIP pass to New York City’s deliciously sexy club scene.
It’s a voyeuristic spin with today’s downtown demimonde, where hipsters, rockers, celebrities, and drag queens meet and misbehave with unabashed enthusiasm. Bared flesh, intertwined tongues, and de rigueur attitudes are all captured by Bonques’s lens in photographs that are fresh, fun, and hot. If this is your scene you may find yourself here; if not, welcome to the best party in town.
Revealing I think Marques has a brilliant idea here. His photos are intruiging, colorful, animated, funny, sad, erotic, dark, dirty. Mostly its a curiousity factor, getting to see a party you were never invited to.
"Merlin Bronques is a talentless photographer who takes advantage of young drunk girls to get them to undress for photos." Someones been drinking that haterade. FEMALE perspective: blaming the photographer is a cop out, those girls are perfectly aware of what they are doing to themselves, drunk or not.
all the crew inside ! ! I'm a DJ and I know when a party is f*** up and out of control, and I love it. I think Merlin Bronques just portraits the dirty, naughty and fun side of the club scene, and the real people behind it. Looking at this book reminds me of all the good times with my crazy mates and my chaotic girlfriends. Nice pictures also, so let the party goes on and on ! ! !
disgusting Merlin Bronques is a talentless photographer who takes advantage of young drunk girls to get them to undress for photos. If you really want a book of staged photos, people rolling around in dirt, vomit, and piss then sure buy this. If you have some class and dignity I would refrain.. there is nothing artistic about this book. More sad and pathetic.
Desperately Seeking Attention Bronques captures the desparation of the late night party crowd, people who will do anything to get noticed. I feel terribly sad looking at much of his work. He never judges his subjects; he merely captures them screaming at the camera, "Look at me. I'm special." Unfortunately, being featured in Last Night's Party, is like being in yesterday's news. It's so easy to be a has been. I wonder if when people look at themselves in his book, they reflect on what's missing from their lives. It's an extremely revealing photo expose'. Well done. I highly recommend this book.
