5.0 out of 5 stars NOTES FOR THE COLLECTOR OF MALE EROTICA, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Euros 10 (No.10) (Hardcover)

Another excellent photobook in the Euros series. Black and white photography of young men taken during the period of 1970-1980 in both Sicily and Puerto Rico, wonderful photos of real people instead of self-conscious models. The end notes by Don H. Mader help to put the photos in perspective and will give you a deeper appreciation of them. Nothing hardcore here, just superb photography. If you are a serious collector of male photography and feel like your drowning in a sea of the pornographic and the pretentious, DiLeo is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Euros 10 (No.10) (Hardcover)

These photographs were taken by Frank DiLeo between 1970 & 1980, and as stated in the book, there's a cultural-historical feel to these dated images. They remind me of Von Gloeden, but in black & white. These young long haired well-endowed, dark, Mediterranean type models he photographed are beautiful to look at. They seem very happy posing for the camera, and most are smiling. I think photographs from this period show much more sexual attitude & emotion than current photographer's works. Or maybe it's just that we have been more over-exposed over the last two decades to so many male nude photography books they have lost their spark of originality and excitement.

I like Frank's photography images & enjoyed this collection. My only complaint again, as in other Euros Series books, is that there is no real biography of this photographer, just a few words about his style. We're left with a lot of questions about him & his life's work. Recommended.
