Costa takes his young men and us into the ambience of old and deserted city buildings. With his poetic images Bill Costa has created gay icons of lust.

Beefcake in an urban setting. Costa has chosen a variety of super-hunky guys and placed them in abandoned buildings and in front of a crumbling industrial landscape. Another quality must-have from publisher, Bruno Gmunder.

This softcover book contains many fine photographs which demonstrate superb control of light,depth of field and also posing his models. A few are set in outdoor urban settings, and they are not as successful to my eye as the more controlled indoor photographs.

Beefcake certainly sums up the majority of the models, amny of whom appear to be well into their 20s. There are very few (well two) tender young subjects.

This is a great addition to a collection unless you don't like B&W images.
