Elegant and entrancing male nude photography

In my opinion, each of the images casts a glamour over me. Each one draws me into the image. Each photograph suggests that it was not a stand alone image but was instead pulled from a series of images telling a quiet but highly erotically charged story. I do not want to mislead a potential buyer. There is no frontal nudity in the images but this is not a criticism. Instead, this is one of the book's strengths. Each image leaves me with something to fantasize about and invites me appreciate the eroticism of the model's entire body and image and not just his genitalia. I believe that male glamour photography can be more effective in casting its seductive spell on the viewer when the penis is not shown. Having said this, as a gay photographer of male nudes, I must state that I create nude images in various states of undress from mostly clothed to completely nude. I do not want anyone to miscontrue my remarks as sex-phobic or phallic-phobic. If you are a collector of male nude photography, this book should be a part of your cherished collection. I am glad I have my copy.
