Male Nudes (Passionate Pursuits S.) 4 reviews
Philippe Castetbon
Fitway Publishing, 2005
Sweet Concoction of the Visual and Verbal
+ An artistic look at capturing the male form....
+ An intimate meditation on the male nude
Philippe Castetbon and Francois Rousseau's "Male Nudes" was a pleasant discovery when I visited my favorite Chicago bookshop, Unabridged Books. At full price though, I had to go to Amazon.
There's a flood of photography books currently in the market and most of the ones loosely categorized ...

Equator (Photobook) 3 reviews
Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1999
life on the equator
+ Magical & Mysterious Island
+ Capturing a "hot" climate thru photography
I personally loved this book. I think it portrays the Seychelles in a different way. Usually books from the Seychelles are full of vibrant colorful pictures of the vegetation, the people and so on. This book is different, it shows us that we don't need to see much of the color, but instead to focus ...

SOME LIKE THEM
Most of male photograph books nowadays are neither sensual nor aesthetical. But some pictures of this book are nice and erotic , especially p.73-77.Some like them. If I could select male nudes photos, I would afford better or maybe the best album.

Tahitian art
+ Tahiti Beefcake
+ Tahiti Tatoos
The "Robinet D'Amour" tattoo is so witty and amusing. There are some good line drawings for references to study. Page 112 does show that the tattoos were painted on and washing off in the ocean. Aloha!

No review really needed
+ About This Book
Following Bruce Weber's seminal first two books (untitled 1st book) and O Rio, this 3rd monograph perhaps lacked the more coherent thematic structure of it's predecessors. However by the mid 80's Bruce Weber had become so prolific and successful that a few books followed that captured some of his ...

This photography book is simply stunning. From the many shots of male models, actors, and just everyday joes...this book rocks. The price tag is hefty but is very worth it. The price alone was worth it for those pictures of Brad Pitt and Antonio Sabato Jr.! Mr. Pierson definitely knows what's ...

I think I must offer this review to help to balance the negative reviews that are here. This is a work of stunningly beautiful photography. Clearly, Barbieri has gone beyond his usual fashion domain with these photographs. The works have an anthropological sense, but they show the ...
