Sonia Sieff: Rendez-Vous!: Male Nudes

On the heels of Les Françaises, Sonia Sieff's critically acclaimed book on the beauty of the female form, comes her unprecedented and sublime exploration of the male nude.

Following her much lauded and decidedly feminist take on the female nude, Sieff now trains her lens on the men from all walks of life who are photographed in a wide range of locales in Sieff's native France, throughout neighboring countries in Europe, and as far reaching as Africa in this second volume of her nude portraiture. Celebrating diversity and body-positivity, the fifty men in Sieff's narrative create a body of work that is as sexy as it is intimate.

Beautifully staged with a knowing eye, over 100 photographs describe the interior lives of men at rest and at play; Sieff captures the distinct personality of each while also depicting a unique sense of place. Shot in incomparable landscapes from the sun-kissed Mediterranean to the quiet of Parisian bedrooms, this is a fresh take on the male nude.
