You might remember my March 8th post on Howard Roffman - and about how much I admire his work. But it boggles my mind how I could forget to mention (in that post) the release of his newest book, Texas Twins: The Story of Morgan and Nash. Roffman allows us a moving look behind the curtain into the close relationship of the two brothers. One is a young James Dean – macho and masculine; the other is more emotional and sensual. These are photographs full of joy and affection, as well as artful moments of melancholy. In this book Roffman again shows his flair for capturing quiet moods. (Peak inside!)
Jack Slomovitz has never been into unnatural environments, back drops, or studio poses. Instead, his photography is about watching people as they bring their new element into a familiar place and seeing how they interact with it and him watching. It is this sense of fantasy and voyeurism that draws you into his new book, Sex in the West Village, NYC, from the very first photo. Using "lads of the West Village in New York" with "impressive naivety and tantalizing innocence", Slomovitz' semi-documentary style leaves little to the imagination (click here for a preview).
