Capturing the pure beauty of the male body in its perfection and glory is not enough for Makos. Using the influence of his close personal friend, Andy Warhol, he replicates the body over and over seeming to worship the divinity in which the human body can achieve. However, these images are brought together in a naturalistic manner. Not in a perfect straight line but in organic forms almost seeming to remind us of our own natural state. For those of you who want to see a celebration of the body with a combination of achieved art this book is for you. I highly recommend this book for its original approach to capturing the human body

Mako's presents us with his latest collection of handsome young men in this Stonewall Inn Pocket size edition book. There are 48 photos of young, attractive men covering a wide range of head shots, formal compositions, and in your face nudes. Mako's has a keen eye and talent for bringing the stark reality of the male nude in natural poses to his audience. It makes you wonder what these guys are really like or would that destroy the fantasy. Just look at the facial expressions.

Stonewall put out a series of these small pocket size books by many photographers. A great idea, and "Makos" is one of the best in the series and I highly recommend it.

Small photobook by Christopher Makos, can easily fit in your back pocket. 48 black and white photographs of men and each one is OUTSTANDING. Makos art pays close attention to detail, every line and curve, and Makos reveals the truly living art the male form can be. Makos' remarkable work pays homage to male beauty. Highly recommended for the collector.
