FEW PHOTOGRAPHERS CAN EASILY EVOKE A LOOK FROM A MODEL THAT SAYS, ‘I WON’T KISS YOU, BUT I’LL FUCK YOU.’ – Reed Massengill.
Over the last year he has appeared several times here on Beautiful, and not without success. You might also have seen his advertising and editorial work in printed magazines like Butt, DNA, Esquire, Gay Times, Genre, HX, Instigator, Instinct, Männer aktuell, The New York Times, The New York Observer, Next, Playboy, Playgirl, Pref, Venus, and Vibe. Joe Oppedisano has created a photographic style, a window to the raw, tense and instinctively animal side of the male that most other contemporary photographers have feminized. His homo-erotic portraits all have his signature of strong, heroic sex, pure masculinity and a sense of danger and violence, coated with true tenderness. We are talking about TESTOSTERONE.
It was only a matter of time, and for us it couldn’t have been soon enough. But now Joe’s work has received the ultimate appreciation in the shape of his own full-color photo book. TESTOSTERONE is a 192 page book, full of dark, sexy photographs, including an artist’s statement, an introduction by Reed Massengill, and a series of quotations on gay men and masculinity. For the true Oppedisano fans an absolute must, but be warned: TESTOSTERONE is only suitable for shock-proof coffee tables.
Pre-order your copy now at brunogmuender.com, amazon.com, or joeoppedisano.com. Or meet Joe Oppedisano and the men of TESTOSTERONE at Manhattan’s Rizzoli Bookstore (57th Street and 5th Avenue), Thursday, November 9th, from 17h30 to 19h00, and get your own signed copy. -B-
