Lap of Luxury
Product ID: 53215207
Mark Henderson's skillful blending of natural light and dramatic use of color has made him a leader in the world of male photography. His seventh book, LAP OF LUXURY, takes us back to Henderson's private paradise, placing the viewer directly in the seat of his unmistakable style and perfectly showcasing one of the world's most luxurious treasures: the male body. Review: A magnificent celebration of masculine beauty and sexuality. - Mark Henderson's style is unmistakeable but not easy to categorise. His models are varied in physique and appearance, portrayed in different settings, which somehow make even the ordinary seem exotic, and in very different poses and states of arousal. Back in the '70s, Tom of Finland managed, through a combination of artistic skill and outrageously sexy glorification of what it is to be gay, to create a whole new perception of masculinity and thus to make gay men feel proud of who they were. Mark Henderson does something similar for the present day. These men are not all beautiful but they are all characterful, not showing off their bodies pornographically or exaggeratedly, but certainly doing so erotically and assertively: "this is who I am and my sexuality is a part of me that I am confidently at ease with". This is a book which may well fuel fantasies but it does so with its feet planted in reality. If I wanted to show someone -albeit someone not easily shocked by the male body in all its glory - what it means to be gay, then this book would be a significant exhibit. Review: This book is brilliant, and filled with gorgeously photographed men - This book is brilliant, and filled with gorgeously photographed men. While there are many stars in this book, Vin Marco is simply a stand-out!! Congratulations to Mark Henderson for such an accomplishment!

Virile bellezza
Questo libro è il capolavoro di M.E. dalla copertina all'ultima pagina si susseguono modelli bellissimi in pose scelte, le luci ed i colori sono calcolati e brillanti. Il libro trasmette molta carica maschile ed erotica, senza diventare banalmente pornografico, davvero bello

The at what he does!!!
I have all of Mark Henderson's prior books & am thrilled to have this one!!! But whether you have his other books or not should not stop anyone from buying this one. Full of beautifully photographed & composed images. The images flow wonderfully from page to page. Inviting one to linger & yet feel compelled to view the next & the next. I don't think better photographed images exist.
