The Perfect Boy

Rating:
Summary: Another grand journey into Roffman's life and art
Review: This is another beautiful example of Roffman's exquisite photographic skill as well as his eye for beautiful young men. The book is divided into sections, each section is devoted to a particular young man, with a brief introduction about either how Roffman met him or how the shoot went. There is at least one boy that is repeated again later in the book, as Roffman did a second shoot with him. The cover photograph is a good indication of the quality of the work inside, it was all shot with natural light (from the looks of it), and the young men seem totally at ease, not only with the camera and their own nudity, but with their bodies in general and with Roffman. In parts the book feels a little like another of Roffman's work, "Friends and Lovers", although this work is devoted more to the boys on their own. Stunningly done.
