David Sprigle delivers a compelling collection of beautiful young men exposing their fine backsides. For many of them, this was the first time they modeled nude. Sprigle’s men are elegantly captured in sensuous black & white photos, on unaltered negative film. Shot in his studio and various outdoor locations, this showcase of unique portraits accents the diverse flavors of the male behind.
The men used in the book are as diverse as the settings in which they are photographed. Some of them have tattoos, some are gloriously muscled and some are young and smooth. Just as the models vary so do their butts. A few are deliciously fuzzy, others are milky white and some are so firm you could bounce a quarter off of them. For you guys that love a nice set of cheeks this one will have you jumping for joy and declaring “Nice Ass!” with the turn of each page.
A Photo Album for Men, and Women Who Notice Fine Derrières

David Aden Sprigle is a no nonsense photographer. He uses his camera wisely to capture the spontaneous moments the happen whether he is on a studio photoshoot or scouting around interesting locations. His appreciation of the nude male body is wholesome, non-manipulated, easygoing, and very sensual as a result. Many of his models have never appeared in photography monographs, much less as nude models, and it is that innocence that makes this particular addition to the fine catalog of books from FotoFactory Press.
Leaving behind the popular emphasis on 'it's the size that matters', Sprigle turns the tables around (as well as the models!) and focuses on the derrières of his healthy handsome models. And who would believe there could be such variation in buttocks! Sprigle's images are from both outside and inside the studio, and his emphasis is not only on particularly well-sculpted bums, but also on hints of differences, muscle flexion and relaxation, and a sense of sport and fun. His presentation is simple black and white photos, not retouched, and showing the side portions of frame in a way that makes the experience of viewing feel as casual as a walk along the beach.
And while Sprigle's book is geared toward a particular audience, it would be surprising if this book doesn't find its way into the collection of women who also find the backsides of hunky men appealing! This is another fine contribution from David Aden Sprigle and FotoFactory Press.
