In Beauty Unadorned Maarten Schets tells both a universal and personal story in stunning photographs. For Schets, all subjects and aspects of his work are at the same level: the artist's life, still lifes, fashion photography. Every spread intrigues: his pictures are never superficial or bold but show a distinct love for life.

This book contains an overview of Schets' work of the past 30 years. Many of the photos have never been published before.
