JAY JORGENSENSHADES OF DESIRE In this gorgeous photo collection Jay Jorgensen presents his well-built models in black-and-white. Using only his camera and reflector the photographer turns his subjects into elegiac, elegant works of art. Using the available lighting he shapes the powerful bodies. "Nude photography is very powerful and yet at the same time very vulnerable," says the master, and his photos exude these very qualities. Jay Jorgensen is a winner of the Tom of Finland prize and his photographs have been published in books such as Ecce Homo, Naked and Nudes Index. (pp 80), hard cover, 25,95 |

SLAVA MOGUTINLOST BOYS Lost Boys, Slava Mogutin’s first monograph, is a compelling collection of his portraits and landscapes taken over the past ten years since he was exiled from Russia for "malicious hooliganism with exceptional cynicism and extreme insolence.” Although it was his outspoken gay writing that angered the Soviet authorities, Mogutin’s photographs caused just as much controversy. Provocative yet iconoclastic, his work transcends the conventions of male nude photography, confronting the viewer/voyeur with a raw style and new sensibility. A cross between porn and fashion, pop culture and marginal kink, Lost Boys is a poetic and sometimes raunchy journey into different obsessions and fetishes of the cosmopolitan urban youth culture. Crimean rasta boys, Russian wrestlers and military cadets, German skinheads and football hooligans are among the subjects of these incendiary but intimate portraits.

JOE OPPEDISANOTESTOSTERONE 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 composed, usually with just a single light source in gloomy places like bars, cellars and stairwells, drawing you into a sexually charged demiworld.
