Dewey Decimal Number: 778 EAN: 9783861878780 ISBN: 386187878X Label: Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh Manufacturer: Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 192 Publication Date: October 31, 2006 Publisher: Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh Studio: Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh Editorial Review: Product Description: A hard man is good to find! Men and their hormones – hard, wild and aggressive. Joe Oppedisano presents them in dark stylised photos that sometimes appear to come from a different epoch but are simultaneously very modern. You see a lot of skin, sweat, leather and dirt and will be helplessly drawn to these specimens of raw masculinity. The photos are perfectly set into scene, usually with just a single light source in gloomy places like bars, cellars and stairwells, drawing you into a sexually charged demiworld.

 Rating:  - Almost but not quite...Some of the photos in the book really are amazing but too many of them are just too similar - both the pictures and the models. I would really have preferred less of the "sequences" since they quickly got old. What I mean is, imagine a 3 minute fight scene then taking out eight random frames for a sequence. Once it's interesting but it was just too much. As for the models, 90%+ of them have similar builds, outfits and even tattoos. There's a variation here and there but again, just not enough. It was almost monotonous after a bit. And one of the other reviewers was correct, for the price of the book I expected much more. Rating:  - superbThere are a gazillion of this type of coffee table books but this one is superb. Beautifully photographed, subtly erotic and (most of) the models have a real brutal and masculine edge which distinguishes them from what we usually see in these type of books. Highly recommended. Rating: - Pure MasculinityPhotographer Oppedisano goes way beyond the usual pretty shots of muscled bodies in posed beauty shots by capturing the essence of raw masculinity in highly stylized situations that fuel the imagination and the libido. This is true erotic art, not the chessy beefcake that is the norm in most male photo books. Rating:  - Poor customer serviceI ordered this book 2 months ago. Amazon said it would be delivered in 4-6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks they canceled my order. Meanwhile I could have purchased this scarce supply item from another retailer. On top of it all I pay for an Amazon Prime membership. This is how Amazon treats their customers? Shame on you Amazon. Rating: - PURE MALE !!SOLID and ULTRA VIRILE IMAGERY. A book not to be missed for superlative masculine visuals and real male emotions captured in print. The dominance and toughness of men is found on each and every page of this awesome photobook. This photographer is a master of color and shadow and light; to both expose and mute the raw edges of masculinity in his figures. I HIGHLY recommend the visual clarity and pure emotions that this work of art from JOE OPPEDISANO conveys to the viewer. |
