The award-winning, Thai-born photographer offers his follow up to his successful 2004 debut, Rough Stuff. In this book, Ohm presents his fresh and modern aesthetic look into male sexuality with seemingly candid and voyeuristic images. Unlike some of his contemporaries, his work is honest and vivid.
These are charming private scenes in a home environment: in the bedroom, bathroom, hallway, kitchen. Intimate takes of men in the midst of their daily activities. None of the images feel forced or set up. The men look comfortable and not imposed upon. They feel familiar and close.
The male body has been captured in its natural environment, and it looks most beautiful. These men feel and look like regular guys, but at the same time they are very attractive.
There is also an inherent vulnerability to them, and it is one of the most appealing aspects of these pictures. They have been caught exposed, without covers or masks, all real in their nakedness. And it makes these men sublime. It's this vulnerable quality that stands out, and its quiet intimate connection with the male physique, that's been stunningly put forth. Because men are beautiful in the entirety. There are no unattractive parts to their bodies or its functions.
The way the male body looks and feels is something special and beautiful. It is to be appreciated and loved. In the end, in the intimacy of the male body is where the feeling of being alive is found.
