5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the best erotic books i've ever seen, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Universal (Hardcover)
Yes, i'm a fan of Kingdome19 since many years.
He is a great photographer and his new 160 pages book
is a wonderful journey through the beauty of young men.
The homepage says: in the book are two international sportsmen:
Jens Lintow - the current European Kickbox Champion and
Kofi Amoah Prah - the wellknown black olympic sportsmen from Sydney.
Both showing not only his naked body - no, you can see the
athletic guys with full erection !! Breathtaking.
The whole book includes over 30 different boys - all
beautiful and young.
I can't believe why put Kingdome19
40 pictures by Henning von Berg
in the book ? Only these pictures are a little bit boring.
4 stars for the art of Kingdome19.
I wait of the next book.

Top Of The Line Photo Book!
I was a bit hesitant about ordering this book, there are others in this genre that I bought that I wasn't very happy with. This one took my breath away. The pictures are well done and all the models are beautiful. Highly recommended if you're a connoisseur of these books.

A Photographic Collaboration: Kingdome 19 Embellishes Von Berg, January 18, 2007
This review is from: Universal (Hardcover)
UNIVERSAL is a successful collaborative effort between Kingdome 19 (the well known carpenter/graphic artist turned photographer) and Henning von Berg (an equally well known architectural engineer turned photographer), both artists from Germany and both highly respected in Europe and now the USA. Their subject matter is the male nude and their similarities are their focus on non-studio settings and on their brave depiction of the aroused male.
From von Berg's vast collection of photographs, Kingdome 19 re-worked many in his developing room, adding graphic details, works, markings, and other artistic elements, enhancing von Berg's sometimes static works immensely. But the book also shares many of Kingdome 19's own photographs, all presented in sepia toning, all with some degree of handcrafted manipulation to enhance the artistic aspect of the finished product, and all sensually beautiful in the casual manner in which he shares his models' willingness to be totally free with their posing.
As the art world (since Mapplethorpe) has matured more and more to the point that male nudity, and even aroused male images, is becoming more accepted. Certainly at the top of the list of brave photographers is the always exciting work of Kingdome 19. This book contains nearly 150 images that are strong and challenging. Another fine book from Bruno Gmunder Verlag GmbH. Grady Harp, January 07
