(AllHipHop News) Sean “Diddy” Combs has teamed with Interscope Records chairman Jimmy Iovine and fashion photographer Rafael Mazzucco to produce a new book focusing on womens' backsides.
The book, titled “CULO by Mazzucco," is a collection of photographs of the female behind. Mazzucco traveled the world to shoot a number of stunning women, for the 240 page book.
"Raphael is a true artist,"Diddy said of the book, which he executive produced. "He relies on instinct- capturing a raw, natural sense of beauty through his lens in CULO by Mazzucco that celebrates the female form. His work is passionate and powerful."
Images from the $65 book were featured on the August 28th episode of “Entourage” when the character Vince photograph by Mazzucco.
"I wrestled for weeks with ideas about how to tackle this concept," Mazzucco added. "I have relished every brush stroke, every hypnotic flash in which I reach deep down into my gut and pull out a glimpse of the world as only I see it."
According to Interscope CEO JimmyIovine , the release of "CULO" is in line with the record label's expanding vision for business, which now includes headphone lines, publishing, software and other ventures.
"We at Interscope put projects out with anyone we believe has a great idea and is a true talent, whether it's a musician, photographer, software developer, or technology innovator," Jimmy Iovine said. "Raphael fits perfectly into what we do. Interscope Records has always been a heat-seeking missile when it comes to shifts in popular culture, whether inciting them or reacting to them swiftly. The impetus for this book is a little of both."
"CULO by Mazzucco" will be available in stores and as an e-book on November 22th.
