Paul Freeman

    Paul Freeman je známý především svými fotografickými monografiemi, které se zaměřují na mužské akty. Jeho portréty sportovců, olympioniků a herců zachycují současného mladého australského muže v jeho přirozeném prostředí, ať už doma, v práci či při odpočinku. Freemanova práce často zkoumá mužskou estetiku a konfrontuje naše kolektivní umělecké dědictví s moderní realitou, přičemž odkazuje na klasické sochařství, malířství a surrealistický film. Jeho fotografie vynikají schopností vykreslit intimitu a zároveň poukázat na širší společenské a umělecké postoje k nahému mužskému tělu.

      Challenging the perception of Western superiority, this book calls for a moral awakening among Western citizens, urging them to confront global injustices. It offers a unique blend of philosophical and religious insights, traversing themes of truth and responsibility. Rather than fitting into traditional genres, it presents a collection of facts highlighting atrocities and questions the commitment of the West to create a just world for future generations. The narrative seeks to inspire a collective moral responsibility and deeper awareness of societal issues.

      Meet the Larrikin Lads. Photographed mainly in England, this fourth volume in the Larrikin series is more from Paul Freeman about the working man. Here they are depicted toiling and cavorting in unwelcoming semi-rural, semi-industrial environments, used skilfully to emphasise visceral masculinity and stoicism, but also to accentuate vulnerabilities. And the happy perseverance of men amongst the dirt is, along with their unashamed nakedness, one of the signature Freeman eulogies to male beauty, strength and sensuality.

      Dusk features some of the most masculine, perfectly and naturally built, handsome and sensual naked men within a stunning array of hauntingly beautiful and raw outback settings. Paul Freeman has established himself at the pinnacle of his craft, not only as a photographer, but as a visual poet and artist eulogizing as he captures the spirit of the rugged yet sensitive Australian male in all his physical glory. His genius is to find the right men to photograph and then tell an enthralling story with his vision from behind the camera. From the quality of the compositions and the lighting through to the texture of the outback locations, these are some of the most perfectly executed and delightful photographs in any collection, and set a tone of sophistication so rarely achieved in books of the male nude.
