X-posed Hardcover – January 1, 2008

The book was carefully packed and arrived in excellent condition! Very quickly delivery too!

There's something strangely underwhelming about this book. Maybe it's the choice of models, some have a strongly feminine, pretty-boy, model look. Or it's the lighting or composition -- many shots have either too-plain or too artsy lighting, and there are lots of chopped-off heads. The posing in many is a bit clichéd, with lots of models staring straight into the camera. Some photos are very nice, while the rest are kind of mehhhhh.... All in all, strangely unsexy, uninspired, and absolutely, positively nowhere near the quality of work of a Rick Day, Paul Freeman, or Mark Henderson.

The images in the book are very high quality, with great use of shadows and backgrounds. All the men in the book are uniformly handsome and in great shape. My only reason for giving it a 4-star instead of a 5-star review is that some (not all) of the pictures are overly airbrushed to remove what were probably blemishes on the model's skin. However, doing so means a lot of the texture of a man's skin is also missing. Body hair (even peach fuzz) in some pics is missing and it gives the models an unnatural plastic or porcelain look (think Michael Jackson).

The quality of the images, models, and poses are excellent in every way. The printing and binding quality are exceptional and I would highly recommend this book. There is a wide variety of model types - something for everyone. As a photographer, I am glad to have this this most welcome addition to my library.

Another acquisition from Dylan. Worth every penny.

Rosser's new book X-Posed redefines ART in art photography books. His photographs are simply beautiful and beautifully reproduced in this lucious book of stunning images. More than mere photographs of nude men, Rosser has captured that special something in each of his models that seems to reveal the man's inner being in a way that is denied many books in this genre.Being able to take a good photograph is one thing. Being able to know what and when to capture an image that says as much about what's outside the frame as what's in it, is Art pure and simple. Rosser has added to the interest of his images by sometimes sharing with the viewer only a part of the model that simultaneously conveys strength, beauty and movement.This is one of those books that will change the definition of the best of the best for years to come. I recommend getting it into your collection as soon as you can. Kudos to you Dylan. I can't wait for the next volume.

The male nude is a beauty to behold and this book captures it..Dylan Rosser once again shows his strength as a photographer of the male nude.

Too many shots are cut outs, not exciting or outstanding for me. It would be nicer if it had more full body nudes.
