Some of these pictures are exceptional, some are very good, and some I don't care about so much. Some are natural, some staged, some scenic. Couples, alone, clothed, and nude.
You can find moments of intimacy and pleasure. Then there are more theatrical captures, but they are not overdone till it no longer looks good, which is something of a problem with such images usually. Both couples and solo pictures are well done. Very beautiful are the extreme closeup shots, with two men intertwined with each other intimately.
The portraits were the weakest content here, I didn't find them as appealing as the rest of the photography. And Freeman appears to harbor a preference for unnaturally smooth men, although there are hairy guys as well. He has refrained from depicting naked cock though, so you won't find any images of penises in the book.
The male physique has been portrayed most beautifully. The men have strong, sublime bodies. They are masculine, raw, and full of potential. Only one model did not conform to this overall impression. Mostly these men are independent, free, and comfortable.
With a few exceptions, it's a very good collection. Executed with taste and obvious care.
