About the booksWho will recognize a great book better than a bookstore? A bookstore run by graphic designers. Here’s why: at MENDO we get market feedback seven days a week, we are blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of talented, inspiring people – photographers, writers and publishers – and after being a bookstore for more than 15 years, we can easily say we know what book aficionados are looking for. Don’t you agree that initiating, creating and realizing jaw-dropping books now, only comes natural?
A MENDO publication is a well-designed book with visually stunning creative content, browsed by people to be amazed and inspired. The subject-matter is one of our pre-defined curated categories, fashion, photography, interior, sport, lifestyle, food and traveling. In general, a MENDO book is a piece of furniture in itself.

#SENDNUDES
A teNeues | MENDO publication
This book allows us to enjoy and celebrate beautiful photography of equally beautiful women in an uncensored medium
If you spend a reasonable amount of time online, chances are you may have stumbled across the phrase: #SENDNUDES. A staple of millennial lingo, the term is used to request sexually explicit photographs, typically over text messaging and dating apps. Over time, #SENDNUDES has also evolved into a meme, deployed as a common punchline in image and video internet jokes.
Today, #SENDNUDES is making another transition—as the title of a carefully curated book of nude photography. In collaboration with Iman Whitfield, MENDO reached out to photographers all over the world and asked them to send their favorite shots of female sensuality and intimacy. The result is a visually stunning photo collection approaching erotic photography from a female point of view, celebrating the diversity of female beauty and body confidence, and teasing the delicate line between that which is revealed and that which remains private.

Featured photographers in #SENDNUDES are (in order of appearance): Mason Rose (@masonrosephoto on Instagram), Tony Ellis (@tonyellisnyc), Andrew Kuykendall (@andrew_kuykendall), Dennis Swiatkowski (@dennisswiatkowski), Ben Tsui (@bentsuiphotos), Kwabena Appiah-Nti (@sekyii), Melissa Cartagena (@perazna), Victor Trusov (@legrainblanc), Alexander Tull (@alexandertull), Ruhul Amin (@imruhul), Guillaume Gaubert (@guillaumegbrt), Neeltje de Vries (@neeltjedevries_photography), Taylor Tailleur (@taylor.tailleur), Jen Sen (@jenmsenn), Johan Stjernéus (@johanstjerneus), Romy Elisabeth Jansen (@byromyelisabeth), Brian Rolfe (@brianrolfephoto), Sal Moriarty (@lovebombed), Kim Akrich (@kim_akrich) and Kid Richards (@kid_richards).
“While overtly sexualized imagery of women runs rampant through the entertainment, fashion and streetwear industries, Whitfield and her series of commissions seek to reclaim sexuality and womanhood by examining a select form of body confidence—nudity.”
