'Joe Lalli learned his craft with Bruce Weber. His work is in direct contrast to the conventional way of looking at things: his photos are candid and direct; the snap-shot style pictures of handsome tough guys are disturbing, provoking and yet undeniably erotic. Lalli is one of the most promising new discoveries on the photo scene.

Lalli has captured some very young & sexy men in this images. These very handsome guys are shown in natural poses, doing everyday things. There are a few nude images included. The models seem to enjoy themselves posing for the photographer. You can tell Lalli has a good relationship with those he photographs. This book is number 17 in the Euros Series. It's a definite book for your collection. I hope there are more books issued in the future showcasing the new photographers. These Euros Edition Series books were beautifully designed and the quality & binding is also excellent, thanks to the publisher Bruno Gmunder. Let's hope there is more on the way!!!!!!

Lalli's Art will make a fascinating, if sometimes disturbing, addition to your male photobook collection. On one hand the photographs are incredible Art revealing raw male energy and power, albeit from a somewhat violent angle. At the same time, though, some of the violent images of testosterone-gone-berserk, (models holding guns and knives and what not), look hokey and staged. Still, FASCINATING Art, and a neccesary addition to your collection...a guilty pleasure, though...

I was deeply disappointed when I received the book. No photos are sexy, beautiful, aesthetic or sensual at all. Models are neither muscular nor well-builed. I don't understand what kind of people like these photpgraphs.
