Product Description
Why bubble baths? Because I, like everyone else, wanted to see what happens behind that door when a lovely girl undresses and takes a bath. It is a time of intimacy, privacy, and vulnerability, not often seen by others. These girls came by in cute little outfits that showed off their personalities. They wore t-shirts with kitschy phrases written on them, or short flowery dresses that were easy to remove. Sometimes I had the girls get out of the tub soaking wet, run to another room, pose for some photos, and then run back to the tub. The girls brought over props too--jump ropes, toys, hats, tiaras, guitars, bubbles, hand puppets, miniature pumpkins, a yorkshire terrier, an iguana, and a duck made out of soap. There's nothing like a beautiful young woman, wet and playful.

Naked Happy Girls 2 June 20, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you saw Andrew Einhorn's other collection, Naked Happy Girls, then you should know what to expect from this volume. It is very much the same type of collection, showing Einhorn's strengths as a photographer; namely, that he seems to take a lot of pleasure in his work and his models appear to reflect that joy. That makes this book fun like the last one.
Of course, this collection also seems to put his weaknesses more on display; in particular, a lack of creativity. Despite the "bubble bath" conceit (which only appears intermittently), the setting seems only incidental to what Einhorn is trying to do: take photographs of "naked happy girls." There's nothing wrong with this, per se, but fitting his bubble bath theme at times seemed to interfere with his abilities as a photographer. He probably would have been better off just going with Naked Happy Girls 2. There were only a handful of shots that stood out to me as being really clever and excellent, though I do admire his ability to get those smiles.
I still have my personal dislike of piercings and tattoos, which ruins some of the shots for me. On the other hand, I have to agree with Einhorn's comment on the beauty of Zephyr as a subject. It is a great sequence of photos. It's almost worth having the book just for those pictures.
 Good but not as his first work March 16, 2007

I belive that BBG doesn't achive what Naked Happy Girls did.
The models look good and real, there are beautiful as well as not so beautiful girls. The scenary is real and it manages to look very natural in many ways. But, the quality and aesthetics of the photos don't get to the same level.
A nice work, but I was expecting more. I think its a nice addition but not really a must-have.

Cuties everywhere. Andrew Einhorn does a little something different that I like. Girls that are playful, and naked. These pictures aren't exactly dirty, but they are more fun than the dull pictures in Playboy. They are a lot of fun. Girls bring by their own props and clothes and get wet in the tub. Sign me up!
I like the selection of girls that this guy chooses to photograph too. All though, you may find that I like all sorts of girls, if you like the warm bubbly girls.. you will sure fire like the Bubble Bath Girls.

Andrew Einhorn is one of the the most under-celebrated art photographers working today. Despite the success of his first book, Naked Happy Girls, as well as having his own underground cable show in New York City, his name has garnered only a fraction of the acclaim that many of his peers have. This might partly be due to Einhorn's own posturing - he's a very lighthearted individual and comes across as one who doesn't take himself or his work too seriously. His self-effacing humor is actually quite refreshing in this industry, where everyone seems to be jockeying for attention, but it has not gotten him the media exposure and critical acclaim that he so rightly deserves. With that said, if he needs a bulldog to do his barking, I'll gladly take the podium. Andrew Einhorn is one of the most electrifying and inventive artists working in the medium today. What his work lacks in superficiality and pretense is more than made up for in pure, reality-based, let's-have-a-good-time portraiture. Einhorn is 100% original and with all due respect to Evander Holyfield, he's the real deal.
And so we have Bubble Bath Girls, Einhorn's new book of nude photographs. Fans of his first book will love this second outing, in that it continues in the same festive vein as the first but with two notable differences. First, it's shot entirely in color (Naked Happy Girls was all black & white) and second, it's mostly staged around a single area of the household - the bathroom. Einhorn's fascination for wet, glistening skin, soapy hair, and bubbles plays out well here. And his talent for casting a beautiful potpourri of models from various ethnic backgrounds is absolutely charming. There is no pouting or posturing or attitude within these pages - all of the girls are absolutely natural and real ... and they appear to really be having fun. That's what's so powerful about this work - the viewer feels like they are part of a real experience. Einhorn's genius is that he's able to craft this atmosphere without appearing like it's forced. He doesn't get in the way. For everyone involved; the girls, Einhorn, and the viewer, it's pure joy. At just under 400 pages Bubble Bath Girls is an in-depth and marvelous experience. Hopefully it will propel Einhorn to the level of fame and notoriety that's his due.

Ok, I'm probably gonna get bashed for this comment, but this book was way too long - and I've never complained that a photobook was too long unless it sucked, but the irony is this book doesn't. Basically it's too much of the same thing (how creative can you actually get in a bathtub?) - the photos are great, the models decent... but I couldn't look through all 365 pages in one sitting (and no, it's not what you're thinking). I prefered "Naked Happy Girls" because it had more variety in the poses. If you're only gonna buy one, get that one instead.
