"Bunny Yeager's Darkroom from Rizzoli documents the photographer's
dynamic career guided by the artist herself....In all Yeager's
photos, you get a pure sense the fun and excitement. The scenes she
created are always glamorous but also quite endearing— sexy, fun
and intriguing but with a sense of ease that makes them universally
irresistible." –Coolhunting.com
“You Have To Own…Bunny Yeager’s Darkroom, a seductive look at the
50-year career of Bunny Yeager, from pin-up model to photographer
and designer. She was never bound by a style; she experimented with
lighting, depth of field, and story telling seamlessly. Creatively,
and perhaps courageously, this is how she made a name for herself
in an industry overflowing with men, and almost explicitly for men:
the world of pin-up photos. What’s better is that on top of being a
photographer Bunny Yeager was also a talented writer, and her
essays and instructions on photography are included. With
old-fashioned courtesy and the patient grammatical correctness of a
school teacher, Bunny’s musings on how to take photos come across
as a motivational speech to love yourself, or at least work with
what you’ve been given.” –American Standard Time
"...drops you right behind the camera and features over 100 photos
for you to drool over." –Coolmaterial.com
"Legendary for her brilliance in capturing the essential sexuality
of women, Yeager’s models, including the equally famed Bettie Page,
fill the pages..." –Sun Post
“...includes many images from the longtime Miami resident's
personal archive, including iconic shots of the legendary Bettie
Page and many previously unpublished images. And she hasn't stopped
creating" –southflorida.com
"Bunny Yeager's Darkroom is about master photographer and pioneer
Bunny Yeager, but it also happens to be the best book ever
published about Bettie Page and the best collection of original
photographs ever seen of the model. If you are one of the millions
interested in Bettie Page, buy this book." –Vintage Sleaze
"...a new collection of more than 250 photographs curated by author
and cultural historian Petra Mason that includes iconic shots of

previously unpublished images including Yeager self-portraits."
–Huffington Post

Page." –National Post

Beach Post
