Vibrant, powerful images!,
December 15, 2008 Michelle7 "Editor of Michelle7(dot)com" - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men (Hardcover)
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.
One-hundred and three photographs are presented here and most are full-page. The men that May has created this body of work around are splendorous, god-like examples of the male form. Each is a slender, muscular, glowing example of physical perfection ... and physical beauty as well. Credit must be given to the models themselves, but the flawless vision overall has to be attributed solely to May. His incredible talent and experience in editorial and advertising photography are quite evident here. Without exception, each image is an electrifying portrait of captured moments...Read more

Brisk Lithe Slim Men: Role Models for Staying Fit,
October 30, 2011 This review is from: 2012 Men Slim Poster Calendar (Calendar)
This 2012 MEN SLIM Calendar is a selection of images gleaned from Stefan May's very fine book from teNeues Press simply called MEN. Whether it was the photographer's intention to narrow down (pardon the pun) the models who are particularly lean of physique or that of the editor from the publishing house is inconsequential. But what happens in turning the page at month's end to the next image the stimulus is the same: try looking at these practically 0% body fat men and still reach for that extra helping or that scoop of ice cream.
Stefan May has defined his creativity in these photographs by selecting an assortment of men that could very well live next door - if those neighbors spent a good part of their everyday routine working out or running. This is a calendar of handsome studs who happen to know how to relate to a camera and a skilled photographer. There is evidence here of collaboration - the model and the photographer find a midline where each is comfortable and...Read more

His talent just grows ...,
August 19, 2003 "jonmurltd" (Hollywood, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men (Hardcover)
Nothing less than I expected from the photographer who's managed to capture couples in an inate, unassuming manner. I like the style of his work, genuine, and at ease ... nothing seems to be staged in the end result. Whatever encouragement he lent, was well received. The pics are great, the book a nice gift for that conniseur of all things erotic, ready and fresh. The only other question I pose is, "where are all these men living?" Send some, at least half to Tyler Street in Hollywood, Florida certainly not on the N65th Way block anyway ... send one to the corner house!
