3.0 out of 5 stars Very few real nudes; they cover their genitals!, October 25, 2006

By 

Sir Nigel Irvine (London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timeless (Hardcover)

There are 82 pictures in the book (and an additional 2 pictures on the cover).

Of those 82 pictures 13 of them show full frontal nudity. In most pictures, however, the model covers his genitals with his hand.

The models look good for the most part. Their age seems to be in the late twenties. They are well-worked with a lot of muscles. Whether that is beautiful or not, depends on the reader. In my opinion there are only few beautiful models in the book.

If you prefer to look at naked males, who cover up their genitals then this book would be right for you. If you prefer to see it all in nude pictures then do not buy this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Men, May 2, 2006

By 

Liam McGrath (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timeless (Hardcover)

David Vance's TIMELESS is quite a mixed bag. On the one hand, the book's quality is astonishing. The pages are beautiful and crisp; the quality of the black-and-white photo-transfer is beyond words.

Yet the images are exceedingly uninspired and become, after a while, quite repetitive. In my opinion, the cover photograph is the best; kudos to the publishers for placing it on the dust-jacket.

The men captured by Vance in these photos are indeed beautiful; almost all are fully- or semi-naked: the poses (as well as facial expressions), however, do not tend to range, and soon become tedious to look at.

Nothing special or overwhelming in terms of Vance's artistic vision (some of the images are actually rather kitschy); but a nice coffee-table book nonetheless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking book.., March 6, 2007

By 

Seth777 (Colorado springs, co) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timeless (Hardcover)

The quality of the photos and the actual pictures are pretty good, BUT I would have to say that if your looking for erotic photos, you won't see many in here.

The book is nice, the pics that are in it are good, but it's a PG-13 photo book basically.
