5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet, July 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Jagged Youth (Hardcover)

These guys are young, strong, smooth and good looking. The same could be said for many photo books but there are two things about Roffman's guys which make him my favourite photographer.

First, the guys are refreshingly 'ordinary' rather than the impossible beauties to be seen in so many photo books.

Second, the photos manage to convey a sense of each guy's character instead of the souless, plastic poses of other photographers.

My only (slight) disappointment is that a few of the guys haven't "revealed all". But that still leaves a lot of beautiful young male flesh to look at!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jagged Youth - Fantasic !, February 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jagged Youth (Hardcover)

Jagged Youth - the book - is an excellent study of beautiful, almost pretty young men. The pictures are superbly clear with interesting plays of light that accentuate. The boys are sometimes playful, sometimes moody, some posed and others not. Most are in various stages of undress, suggestive of promises of passion. The nudes, while not pornographic, are very sensual, exuding raw sexuality. Putting the fanciful descriptions aside, these boys are some hot numbers that no-one would kick out of bed no matter what your preferences may be. Mere words fail to do them justice. You must experience this book to appreciate the lust that it conjures up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Erotic Masterpiece!, June 6, 2000

This review is from: Jagged Youth (Hardcover)

This is the 5th in a series of photography books from Howard Roffman, and he certainly has produced another book of excellent, attractive male images. These young men are ordinary everyday people, who have a natural erotic look. Howard Roffman knows how to capture his male models with just the right light and setting, and his models are not overposed and are very natural. I enjoyed this book as much as my other favorite of his, "The Edge of Desire." Be sure and add this one to your collection. If your looking for the perfect, overdeveloped, muscular type of male images you will have to look elsewhere. Another great book from Howard Roffman.
