Pedro Usabiaga's first full feature hardcover mainstream monograph, or his first book, came after paying long time dues establishing himself as a fashion and male physique and portrait photographer in the various worldly markets. Getting published and finally asked to do photoshoots is like being accepted into a society that few photographers get to join in a lifetime. Usabiaga made quite the impression with the gay male photography scene, and his homoerotic series were “super guapo” in many important people’s eyes. Besame Mucho translates into “Kiss Me A Lot” which any one of the models can do whenever…The title is filled with homoerotic photography of men in varying degrees of dress from a lot to a little to none, and they look good in all stages of molting. The guys are expressive, sexy as hell, and Usabiaga catches every moment of their hotness. As a first monograph, Besame Mucho is a brilliant effort by a rising star photographer that surely has the right focus and dream to make it big.
