Summary: Beautif.timeless, calm sepia tone nude portraits of BlackMen
Review: Fine art photography at its best.

This is a black and white photo book that shows 60 some pages with portraits of African American men in the nude. It is nothing like the many books with nude photography that show glamour models insinuating that they are available for sex.

I found these images to be very personal intimate portraits of real people that nevertheless are very athletic and erotic.

The feel of the book is a classic calm mood. Very warm real and respectful. The prints show most of these real Black men in front of dark backdrops in the studio. The light and the print quality is mostly soft and warm. The way the sepia tone is used here really compliments the dark skin tones of the men depicted.

It was a pleasure for me to come across a book that is not polished to go after the obvious mass market appeal. The real and warm humane mood of these images where more satisfying than anything I had come across for a long time.
