Overview

Hans Fahrmeyer's images are bold, colorful and unabashedly sensual. The intent is to evoke desire, and the intention is there in the eyes of each model on each and every page .. This energy is palatable and through his use of vibrant colors, uniquely body poses and positions, as well a creative editing, Hans channels the energy into images drenched in both intensity and urgency. Born in Germany, Hans worked throughout Europe prior to immigrating to the United States in 1979. Although his European influences are evident within his vision, the glamour and energy embedded in his images are erotically rooted in his passion for his home in New York's West Village. Like so many of the men who journey to Hans' studio to work, like the artist himself, are not all native New Yorkers. Yet through his skill and creativity, in front of Hans' lens, they embody and channel the electricity and creativity of both the artist, and the city. With most of the world online, images of the naked male form are now splashed all over the web. Yet, within the catalog of mediocrity that the Internet has become, Hans' work remains ground breaking through the artists dauntless desire to capture male sexuality at it's most bold and climatic. There are no filters in his vision, nothing to blur or hide the pulsing vitality of the men in their prime which Hans commemorates. Some photographers seem to want to diminish the intensity of carnality in the men they shoot, as if it's something to be ashamed of. Hans' goal is to capture the raw and naked truth of male sexuality in all of it's colorful, powerful glory. Hans has shot some of the worlds most successful male fitness models, and many of the images captures have become iconic depictions of the male form. I believe many of the images within The Naked Truth are destined to join them. An extensive collection of work, as you turn each page, a new theme and visual experience is unveiled. Hans beautifully pairs each page with models, pose, energy, color and motif creating dynamic visuals and interplay between the images on the page. He has achieved his own unique quality in the creative art form of capturing both male and female models, concentrating primarily in the male. His photographs have been published in international publications including Time, Newsweek, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Burda, Madame, Playboy, Connaisseur, Opera Monthly, and Camera & Darkroom. Published books include: Between Men, Between Men and Women, Colours of Men, Water Moves and The Cover Up. Each volume is approximately 150 pages (8.5 x 11), in hard and soft cover.

If photos are messages, then Hans Fahrmeyer is one of the most prolific messengers of today and of classic times. From his apprentice days of learning his photography craft in the lost art of darkroom developing, you know this man wrestle more out of an image than most emerging and long time photographers. It's his use of lens, light, experience and passion which massages his images to an unexpected portrayal. 5.0 out of 5 starsStunning Pictures Byalamberton November 25, 2012 Format: Kindle Edition I was knocked out when I saw this book. There are so many picture sized books of guys but I think this one is special. The images show attractive guys but they are much more dynamic than most images in books of the male. The images in most books seem very static, but these capture movement. Plus, the images are beautiful in themselves not even considering the subject matter. The juxtaposition of water, light, and skin on wonderful bodies is a feast for the eye. Hans has done several other impressive books but I think this opens a new dimension in his work. These pictures make one want to get into the water, but it would be more fun to join some of the subjects Hans captures. Model Mahan JsNo1x - Model Wow!
