Jonathan Black's models are objects of lust. Nothing remains hidden! A book bursting with luscious color pictures of the best looking men. Every page is an adventure! The viewer succumbs to the incredible aura of these men at first glance.
This is part of the Bruno Gmünder Greats series of handy sized versions of our favorite books.
Jonathan Black has produced some of the more richly colorful images of men in this book he aptly titles IDOLS. His approach to the model is one of implied complete trust, as none of these models seem the least bit stiff or posed. There is a relaxed feeling that serves to accentuate the sensuous virility of every one of his carefully selected models. Though the book is small in size (about 7.5 X 5 inches) it is not cramped in detail. The design is clean, allowing for full-page full bleed images of a model with the adjacent page sharing small snapshot like images. The images that are the most successful are the one that make a full two page spread.
Though there are many photography books centered on the male, Jonathan Black adds another dimension to his work: each of the models is identified by name, as if this were a personal album of his best friends. They could easily become the viewers' best friends with a few viewings of this excellent collection.
