Whenever a photographer wants to show his models completely nude he needs a lot of empathy to create an atmosphere that's free of any restraints. Dylan Rosser is perfectly capable of this as he has already proven with his photo books. Naked is all about intimacy and encounters with men at their most vulnerable but also at her most beautiful. His style is more down-to-earth and accessible than in his last book Red, the pictures are striking and go under your skin.

Format:Hardcover
Dylan Rosser was born in South Africa, became well known for his graphic design talents and in 1998 moved to London where he began his very successful career in photography. Rosser photographs male models in both New York City and Los Angeles and his works have been published in tow highly honored books - X-POSED and RED. In NAKED Rosser seems to be gradually eliminating supportive props and themes and now an approach the male nude in full color, beautifully detailed images that are likely some of the the finest and most refined works in this genre.
Rosser uses minimal backgrounds for his photographs - at time the background is simple white space, while at other times he uses a burnished wet silver sheen that sets of skin tonalities magnificently well. Other images are incidental 'sets', such as empty gyms or deserted buildings or the mere suggestion of a support system such as a corner, a wall, a couch, a ladder. From these setting he brings in a bevy of incredibly well sculpted models - alone and at times with another model - and from this combination of lighting, pristine judgement in composition, and extraordinarily virile and handsome men he makes images that are at one both art and sensuality. The manner in which he engages the models' eyes or paints theit bodies with water, light and shadow is nothing less than fine art.
There is a sense of intimacy here, a sense that Rosser seems to invite us, the viewer, into the arena of his edification of the male form. it is a very tempting invitation and one that will please the eyes and thoughts of the reader. Grady Harp, December 11

Not only is this book beautifully bound, it is filled with beautiful photographs of some of the most handsome and athletic men I have seen in a book of this sort. The images really convey the beauty and masculinity of the human form.

The best yet from Mr. Rosser

Each photo in this book has a wonderful pair of characteristics: utter simplicity and intense eroticism. Rosser's ability to create the former and to elicit the latter from his models is amazing. No disappointments here, quite the contrary.

Best collection of Rosser's works to-date!

Dylan Rosser's new book, "Naked", is a beautifully designed and printed book of his newest male nudes. This collection of images is well-conceived and there is not a "weak" photo in the book.
Rosser is foremost a portraitist: it all starts with the eyes.
But with his selection of amazingly-proportioned men enhanced by his masterful lighting, the combination produces images with several levels of sculptural eroticism.
It's no surprise that, after 2 weeks receiving my copy from Amazon, it is sold-out!
I highly recommend purchasing this excellent work by a young yet mature artist.
