[The 10 Hottest Photo Books of 2008 -

Part 2](http://studioguyzmag.blogspot.com/2008/05/10-hottest-photo-books-of-2008-part-2.html)

6. VISIONS, Contemporary Male Photography from 2006 was just the beginning! Our newest photographic anthology NIGHT VISIONS is again giving over 60 photographers the chance to present their works to a gay audience around the world.

These highlights of contemporary male photography are collected on 320 pages. It includes well-known artists and plenty of promising newcomers. Whether romantic or fetish, sex or tenderness, staged or “street photography” – the over-arching theme is always the night.

7.All About The Boys, by Australian born photographer Michael Andrew has been living in Germany since 1996. Moving beyond cool professionalism Michael Andrew’s boys surprise with the openness with which they encounter the photographer and his lens. Andrew very purposely foregoes elaborate staging and gives his young models a lot of space to present themselves in front of the camera in an easy way.

ALL ABOUT THE BOYS is an homage to the unspent, innocent eroticism that these young men exude. His images will capture you from the first page onward!

8. Young Rebels, Cameron Frost’s boys are young, gorgeous and confident in front of the camera. Frost skillfully captures the magical allure of these young rebels. His photographs speak a language of fragile grace and are always authentic. In moving black-and-white Frost knows how to represent the longing of youth just beginning to realise the painful loss of childhood. For over five years the barely 25-year-old self-taught Cameron Frost has been making waves with his work.

9. Night Hawks, his first book

ROUGH STUFF (2004) earned Ohm Phanphiroj international acclaim. The mixture of voyeurism, provocation and sensual intimacy between him and his models had a huge and lasting impact on gay photographic identity. His follow-up work, RARE VIEWS (2006) also took a similar approach and was even more successful.

With NIGHTHAWKS Phanphiroj presents himself anew as a sensitive and impartial artist, a portraitist of young self-discovery in a world moving at a tearing pace. Sexually charged scenes are interspersed with melancholy moments.

10.Jeff Palmer: Touch, this work is “touching" in the true meaning of the word – Jeff Palmer’s artistic male photography presents American dreamboats in sensual and intimate togetherness. Muscle-bound men in highly emotional scenes are masterfully enveloped in light and shadows. They open up to the camera’s lens with both self-assurance and abandon.

Palmer’s newest works took quite some time to complete and you can see it in the results. Those looking for a snapshot aesthetic may be disappointed. But those who appreciate meticulously composed photographs of male nudes are sure to be delighted.
