At once lyrical and intense, Amos Badertscher's photography of the male nude is garnering increasing attention and acclaim. Through his lens one sees a world largely made up of hustlers, drag queens, and runaways; it is an experience that is simultaneously forbidding and alluring. This collection of erotic images is compelling and showcases work many believe to be among the finest in photography today.

Reflections From the Edge,
By A Customer
This review is from: Badertscher (Stonewall Inn Book/Photographer Series) (Hardcover)
Disclosure: I know this photographer and have a number of his works displayed in my home and certainly cannot claim to be unbiased. That said: This is not a book full of "pretty" pictures of boy toys. These images don't glamourize the coupling of gay men. They do haunt, shock and cause the viewer to wonder about the lives of "others" who may not have the same comfort or ethos as we, but whose humanity can still reach us despite our lack of contact with them in our protected lives. Badertscher brings a discerning eye to the subject, having what is clearly a familiarity with his "models'" lives and desires. He gives us a glimpse of those at the edge (or are they?) This book is a jewel at a "bargain" price.

Not That Special,

This review is from: Badertscher (Stonewall Inn Book/Photographer Series) (Hardcover)
This book has some value but very little. I have to questionthe photography skills of the photographer. True, most of the novelswere far from pretty--which is a minus--but that's only the start of the problem. Many of the poses were awful; the only poses that impressed me where a series of mirror shots, but they would be a lot more impressive if the photographer were not preasant in them. I was not impressed at all by a great portion of the end of the book dedicated to reverse negative photographs; a cheap affect that loses any goodness in the actual picture. And for how in ALL demensions (thickness, and most notably the hight and width) this book is truly a [not worth] the price asked. The shot on the cover is one of only two I found to be excellent, and of only three or four worth anything at all. Don't waste your time or money with this one.

Tiny & trivial book. Don't waste yr time on this little excuse for a book unless it's the only book around on a desert island and you just have GOT to have visual stimulation whilst pleasuring yourself. Your fantasies would likely serve such purpose much better.
