Illuminations affirms that photography’s grand tradition of rigor of form and tenderness of eye is alive and well and living in California. Carter’s freshly seen images and commentaries are a personal hymn to the beauty of the nude. His photographs address the human body not mere as a physical object, but as a spiritual document. For those with eyes to see, an invisible presence hovers among the strong shapes and delicate tonalities.
