Summary: Hot Guys Beautifully Photographed
Review: As a graphic artist I loved the way this book was laid out. It wasn't just slapped together. Beautiful photos of some very hot guys. Hans is one of the top photographers of the human form around today. Incidentally, I may be somewhat biased. My friend Timothy appears on page 44 in sort of a Greek god-like pose.

Summary: Some Beautiful Men
Review: This book of photographs has a lot going for it. No one can accuse Mr. Fahrmeyer of not being creative in that there are many exquisite photographs here, beautifully lit and printed and seldom repeated. The first photo in the book is a very strong image and draws you immediately into it and invites you to look further. I particularly like the photographs on pages 16, 29, 87 and 95 for their impeccable lighting. There is a beautiful innocence in the two photographs on pages 38 and 39. The several photographs like those on pages 80 and 81 work, where the models lose most of their eroticism, becoming almost kaleidoscopes in the repetition of their limbs. The artist certainly has a sense of humor as evidenced in the model on page 120 in the classic discus-throwing pose. Here, however, he is all set to throw a plate.

What doesn't work are the pictures reminiscent of familiar images of Herb Ritts. I refer to the the photographs like the images on page 27 (a portrait of a man caked with mud or makeup) and page 45, where the model is hiding his face behind a plant of some kind. Ritts did this sort of shot years ago and much better.
