In matching pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Benno Thoma's "Around The Globe". His very first all-color collection of male nudes, featuring a very generous selection of Bel Ami models in sumptuously produced "location shoots", and thus indisputably the best in the latter's Series thus far. "You've never seen Bel Ami like this! Renowned photographer Benno Thoma shot the boys of Bel Ami, showing Lukas, Tommy, and all the others in perfect glory. Set against lavish backdrops and in masterfully composed erotic settings, these images are emotional like never before. Benno Thoma is undoubtedly an artist. He bathes his models in luxuriously sensual colors. His sense of style makes this opulent book the high point of Bel Ami photography books" (Publisher's blurb). Together with Corbin Fisher's "Boys Unlimited", this is the best book on Bel Ami ever published (and there are many). An absolute "must-have" title for Benno Thoma and Bel Ami collectors. This title is a contemporary erotic art photography classic.

Please note: This is an Import title, not commercially available in the United States. The publisher is no more. Its last remaining copies sold for up to $500. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with full-page, full-color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BENNO THOMA AND CORBIN FISHER'S "BOYS UNLIMITED" TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 3867871531. N° de ref. del artículo 23701

Sinopsis:

Reseña del editor: You've never seen Bel Ami like this! Renowned photographer Benno Thoma shot the boys of world-famous porn company Bel Ami, showing Lukas, Tommy and all others in perfect glory. Set against lavish backdrops and in masterfully composed erotic settings these images are emotional like never before. Benno Thoma is undoubtedly an artist-he bathes his models in luxuriously sensual colors. His sense of style makes this 224-paged opulent large format book into a sensually synthesis of art. It is the highpoint of Bel-Ami photo books. Lukas Ridgeston, Josh Elliott, Renato Amoroso and Tommy Hansen are just a few of the most famous names from the stable of Bel Ami-players. Together with a horde of well-built boys they pose for grandiose solo portraits and in dreamy group scenes full of passion. The Mediterranean flair of the photos takes them a step further. This is a milestone of gay photography!
