3.0 out of 5 stars Desiring more Edginess, June 2, 2000

By 

"wildebill" (Springfield, Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Edge of Desire (Paperback)

Yet another book filled with black & white photos of very pretty - handsome seems inappropriate - young men. These are not traditional studio shots. Almost all are outdoor scenes of late teens/early twenties, mostly white boys looking bored. There is little frontal nudity, however, a few of photos are provacative. These photos appear to lack artistic pretension, instead they come across as very nice snapshots. These photos did not instill any sense of desire. Edginess was totally lacking in the consistant blandness of these photos. Although I enjoyed the book, I felt that it failed to meet the titled aspiration. I expected more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roffman at his best!, March 9, 2002

By 

olleke - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Edge of Desire (Paperback)

I have many books of Howard Roffman, but the Edge of Desire, I find the most beautiful, sweetest, sexiest of all.
It includes some of his 'Three' photosserie and some clair-obscur photographs of boys and man next door. All photographs in duotone print (black&white). Short afterword in English/French and German.
Really the price worth paying! If you leave it on a table, all your friends will certainly take a quick peek at them, whether they are gay or straight.
