VIBRANT ENERGY: BLACK MEN REVEALED- Contemporary EDGY Images celebrates the dignity of the unclothed Black man. 101 very saucy yet sensitive black-and-white photographic images proclaim his nobility through affirmative portrayals of fifty-three different Black men from four continents, captured by nineteen exceptional photographers who are also from four continents.
This book introduces a breadth of photographs never before represented in any other book of this kind. 82 of these 101 photographs have never before been published in another book. Twelve different sections in the book present the diverse qualities of all these men.
Excitement explodes from the 174 pages of this unconventional, frisky, and very folâtre book. Not only is the sexual and erotic nature of the Black man frankly and unabashedly displayed, but also his personality is also caringly expressed, illustrated, and documented. The book projects the presence of real people that has not been portrayed before in photographic books focusing on the unclothed male, regardless of the subjects' demographics.
Its 11" x 11" size and square format creates a stunning original work of art to complement the grand punch of the images’ subjects.
