2011 Men Slim Poster Calendar

Fresh off the success of his breakthrough book, Couples, German photographer Stefan May has followed up with a gorgeous compilation of male nudes in an equally polished production. It's a gargantuan sized book at 15x11" and printed in pristine fashion. Viewing these pages is like walking through a fine art gallery. The photos are so perfect, and so vibrant, they literally jump out of their pages at you.
