“Sometimes it’s a beautiful face, a hard body, or a gorgeous penis.
More often it’s a penetrating look, the curl of a lip, the luscious V shape of a back, strong legs, a peachy bum, or the eroticism of a just a little clothing on an otherwise naked body.”
All these things form the theme of Perth photographer Richard Matias’s latest book HANDSOME. In this his third book, Matias continues his obsession with and love of the male form, this time with a stronger focus on full frontal shots of handsome men on the beach, in the bush and in the bedroom. For Matias it’s also about the models:
“For me art is about the feeling, connection, mutual respect and capturing the authentic nature of that person.”
HANDSOME has a bigger focus on black and white images allowing Matias to celebrate his signature images of shade and light. Glorious black and white images sit side by side with highly rich, erotic, and sometimes quirky erotic colour images. With over 200 images, sensual, rich, and beautifully produced HANDSOME is the ultimate coffee table book that you’ll never put down.
