'French photographer Bodilis seeks his subjects through chance meetings. The heroes of his photos are 'real' men. Whether they are portrayed alone or in groups, the air always crackles with eroticism - Parisian men in all their splendor.'

Black and white photography, powerful and excellent portraits of Men. In their aim to try and capture masculinity some erotic photographers lapse into a kind of "hyper-masculinity" that ends up being a comical caricature of male power. Not Herve Bodilis. Bodilis allows the beauty and power of the male form to speak for itself. His Art celebrates and honors the male form and Bodilis is not afraid to depict the raw energy of lust without falling into the merely pornographic. His use of suggestive poses, water and (I think) Champagne, in one photo, "suggests" other possibilities in an artisitc, imaginative and highly erotic way. Plus, it's refreshing when an artists work reveals his respect and admiration for his models and it shows here. One model, sporting some great tattoos and wearing an upside down crucifix, alone is worth getting the book; an original and great looking guy. Highly recommended.

Raw, bawdy, hedonistic, sensual, and passionate. This is more than a book of photography, this shows the male species in all it splendor. Filled with sexuality both overt and covert. A must have for collectors of nude (male) erotic art and photography....

This Edition Euros book, like most of them, is filled with B&W images which are my favourite. Colour takes away some of what you can add with your imagination.

Bodilis, a French photographer, has managed to piece together a collection of erotically charged photographs of men who are extremely sexy yet who are not the standard "perfect" form. Some images are solos and some are duos.

Not the best in the series, but Edition Euros remain amongs the very best of books presenting the male form in sexy photo images ate an affordable price. As usual, the printing and binding are first-class.

Again, I have the same problem with this book of black & white images of male nude models as I did with the other's in the Edition Euros Series. I would like to know more about the photographer, Herve Bodilis, and his work. Again, there is no biography of the photographer. That aside, these are standard images of guys alone, some nude, and a few very erotic images of guys together. These are not all pretty guys, and perfect models, but everyday real men. I enjoyed this photographer's work, and have added it to my collection. However, if I had only one or two of the Euros Series books to select & buy, this wouldn't be it.

The pictures show no interest, the poses are vulgar and the overall book is uninteresting.
