5.0 out of 5 stars Massengill displays a subtle, appreciative genius., January 27, 1997

This review is from: Massengill (Hardcover)

I knew Reed Massengill when he lived in Atlanta, and I saw much of this book in progress. I envied Reed--the way beauty seemed to gravitate toward him (male and female). Beyond my envy, I appreciated the way Reed was able to capture on film the gentle beauty of his subjects. These are honest, clear portraits without pretense: sexy, strong, youthful--but nonetheless unassuming and approachable. Reed's talent for photography is as natural as the men he photographs

Beautiful photobook by Reed Massengill. Black and white photos lovingly created by a great artist. Massengill writes in his notes for the book that he is not a "professional" photographer, and that may be why this photobook is so refreshingly original and magnificent. Massengill concentrates on displaying the beauty of the male form, every line and curve, with attention to detail and devoted respect for his models. This is a small book, can easily fit in your back pocket, but a "must have" for the collector simply because these photos are so good. Highly recommended for the collector.
