Masculine Eroticism in Vivid Color!, March 21, 2002
This review is from: The Bear: Essentials, The Photos of Barry Gollop (Hardcover)
These are striking men who are very masculine and exotic looking. The beautiful color photographs in this book by Barry Gollop, who is better know as "The Bear", are all part of his collaboration for many years with Kristen Bjorn. If you're familiar with the men in Kristen Bjorn's all-male sexual videos you know what to expect from this book. These still photographs are beautifully reproduced showcasing the very best muscular, handsome, and well-endowed men of Kristen Bjorn productions. Most of these men are from Brazil and Latin America. A beautifully produced hardcover book from Bruno Gmunder publications. There is a short biography about "The Bear", and 104 pages of hot images that are meant to excite & they do. This book should be in everyone's all male-nude collection. This one shouldn't be missed! One of the Best!

The Photographer's Description of his book, September 21, 2009
This review is from: The Bear: Essentials, The Photos of Barry Gollop (Hardcover)
The Bear: Essentials is an excerpt of the "fundamental" images of men from around the world which established The Bear (aka Barry Gollop) as an international photographer of the Male Nude.
My nom du porn is my childhood nickname: "The Bear" which is a diminutive for my name: "Barry". This has no correlation to the leather world image of "Bears" and is not a reference to either the body images which I photograph or my own body type.
During the early years of my photography, it was the end of one's career to publish male nudes.
The Bear: Essentials is a collection of my published photography of models from the USA, South America, Europe, Eastern Europe, Central America and the Caribbean. Many of these images have appeared in male publications around the world, on numerous greeting cards and in calendars. This book includes a variety of body types, ethnicities and different styles taken before and during the 15 years which I worked as a photographer, director and lighting designer for Kristen Bjorn.
Hopefully these comments will help to correctly market this book to those who are interested in its content.
