Shades of Desire

"Shades of Desire" is the name of this gorgeous photo collection by Jay Jorgensen, who presents his well-built models in black-and-white. Using only his camera and reflector, the photographer turns his subjects into elegiac, elegant works of art. Using the available lighting, he shapes the powerful bodies. "Classic photography is very powerful and yet at the same time very vulnerable," says the master, and his photos exude these very qualities. The works of this winner of the Tom of Finland prize, Jay Jorgensen, have been published in books like "Ecce Homo" and "Naked" among others. Additionally, his portraits have also graced the pages of "Variety" and "People" magazines.
