Absolute Sweden

Rating:
Summary: A superb collection of dreamy Viking boys.
Review: This book is another example of Benno Thoma's excellent control of his technique. He uses only natural light, and his subjects tend not to be over-pumped models rather the younger 20ish (just) type of guy who is still shy and unsure, yet yearning to be outgoing.

Thoma collects all that and more from his subjects in the truly wonderful book. The appealing youthfulness, the searching eyes, the inspired poses. You will love this book, especially if you like monochrome pictures.

Further details of the photographer are available from his website, where it's possible to order limited edition prints if you can afford it.

I can heartily recommend this addition to your collection.

Summary: Absolutely Breathtaking!
Review: This is now one of my favorite male-nude photography books. It's right up there on my Top10 list. This may be because I'm of Swedish heritage, but I know that's not the real reason. The real reason is that this is an absolutely breathtaking photo album of erotic young-looking men photographed outdoors in the stunning landscape that is Sweden. These photographs take advantage of the natural soft light, course landscape, and bright sunlight that is part of the changing seasons in Sweden. It's amazing how well the models managed to stay relaxed, sensual & erotic looking during this cold & snowy winter photo shoot. It's very unusual to take images of nude male models under such harsh conditions and have the models still look erotic, sensual and happy at the same time. The sensuality, erotic mood, and sex appeal of each model does come across on each page of these black & white and color photographs. I think this photo album is as great as it is because of Benno Thoma and all of his handsome young models who made it possible through their positive interaction together. The scenic landscape & natural lighting were an added bonus.

Benno Thoma has worked in fashion and advertising photography for many years, and now is also well-known for his male nude photography. He has several male nude photography books to his credit including: "Young Companions" (1995), "Edition Euros #3", and "Somos Cubanos" (1998). These other photo books are awesome and true to his very creative and different style of photography, but I believe "Absolute Sweden" is my still my favorite. This is definitely a collector's item for your library, so make sure you get it before it's too late. I look forward to his next collection. Highly Recommended!
