5.0 out of 5 starsDouglas of Detroit - American Photography of the Male Nude
By A Customer on June 2, 2000
This is the fourth volume in a series devoted to the classical physique photographers of the mid 20th century. Douglas of Detroit may not have been as famous as Bruce of LA or Bob Mizer, however, he produced photographs that compare favorably with any of his contemporaries. The content is primarily black & white full-page photos ending with a few color shots. Most of the photos are staged indoors with emphasis on controlled lighting. There are a few outdoor shots. There is ample, tastefully presented and staged frontal nudity. The models appear to be comfortable and at ease. This comes across as artistic not pornographic. There are too few examples of a photographic technique that was unique to Douglas of Detroit. He produced some wonderful double exposures using the same model for both images. Many of these shots are quite evocative. If you are a fan of mid-century phsique photography then this is a definite must- have book. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful
By Miawil on May 17, 2004
Verified Purchase
The guys depicted here are beautiful and enthralling. Douglas, whomever he was, did what many photographers of the male nude from this period did; he captured the full essence of the body instead of focusing obsessively on erotic areas the way modern phophotographers do. I would recommend this book to anyone who simply enjoys looking at beautiful young men in all their glory.
