The mammoth book of gorgeous guys - Barbara Cardy

Stunning male nudes and erotic portraits representing the best work of nearly 50 artists, a substantial number of them women. Each photographer's work reveals unique and innovative ways of capturing the beauty of the male body and bringing fresh eroticism to its form.

This is a collection that goes well beyond typical body-builder, calendar-boy images with photographs ranging from striking details of male anatomy to intriguing portraits. Introduced by Tom Bianchi, these are photographs which extend our concept of what is beautiful. Tom Bianchi, Libby Bulloff, Dianora Niccolini, Merri Cyr, Robert Flynt, Sarah Saudkova, Michael Childers, Christopher Makos, Harriet Leibowitz, Michele Martinoli, Katrine Neoromantika and many more.
