photographer of men.
Must be seen to be believed!

breathtaking!
There's quite a bit of full frontal in Paul Freeman's books!! You
will NOT be disappointed. Each guy is more stunning than the
last... and the tools are mostly super-sized huge!
ALSO, most of the guys have their original equipment. Very
impressive!
The settings, lighting, backgrounds, landscapes are also dusty, raw and
stunning.
HUGE format hardcover! 13" tall & 9.5" wide.
If you've never owned a Paul Freeman book... its time.
We think his body of work is much more impressive than any of his
contemporaries.
Paul Freeman’s gift is to find and unashamedly eulogize the spirit of a rugged,
yet sensitive male beauty. From his compositions and lighting to the particular
texture of his shoot locations, his collections set a unique and mesmerizing
tone of sophisticated rawness rarely achieved in books of the male nude.
His first book of art nude portraits, Bondi Classic, was published to critical acclaim in 2003, and a best-selling series of three more Bondi books followed.
His 2011 and 2013 books Heroics and Heroics II are a neoclassical exploration of the nude male, and reference sculpture and painting in Western European art, from the Renaissance on. This series questions contemporary attitudes to the naked male in life and art by juxtaposing it with our collective artistic heritage.
In Freeman’s Outback series, ( 2008-2014) he utilises the Australian bush and its’ changing moods to explore his male aesthetic, and to style and weather his subjects. Each book shifts focus to a different element of the theme from Outback ( 2008) , Outback Currawong Creek (2009) , Outback Brumby (2010), and Outback Bushmen (2012) through to Outback Dusk, released in September 2014.
His latest Larrikin series of books,( Larrikin, Larrikin Yakka, Larrikin Digs and Larrikin Lads), continues his photographic journey, with an array of enthralling and sensual art nude stories of men in gritty and evocative landscapes and interiors. This time it is that peculiarly Australian larrikin ideal of masculinity, which is as much about character and individuality , as it is physical prowess and confidence, that drives Freeman’s signature visual narratives of confidence and bravado, juxtaposed with unexpected gentleness and vulnerability.
Perfect for GIFT GIVING.. or to TREAT YOURSELF! This book is HARD to FIND!
