This collection of fine art style photographs are technically accomplished and set a high bar for any lovers of good quality (soft) erotic art.

All of these impossibly beautiful men are photographed in a range of poses, all showing off their incredible perfect bodies to the best possible advantage. They are stylish, understated and sensual and the photographer, David Vance, has drawn on his Italian background to set each of them up as classical statues or mythological figures, in full colour and with a certain modern twist.

This is your classic coffee table book, and for once with this type of book it’s got a defined artistic merit of it’s own.  Some of the images are stunning others whimsical but they are all eye-catching.

The 112 pages of this book is split into two parts, ‘Earthly beauty’ and ‘Heavenly beauty’ and contain jaw droppingly handsome men posed both naked and semi clad, winged and sitting on clouds, drawing bows and stretching to throw the discus, emulating the classic poses of Renaissance and Greek and Roman Statues whilst paying homage to modern male bodies, tattoos and all.

David Vance’s previous book ‘Timeless’ was a success and he has followed it up with another excellent book destined to grace many a collection.

A treat.
