Walking the Line

by Joe Ziolkowski (Photographer)

From Introduction - Joe Ziolkowski's figures obey a choreography that stems not from the formalized codex of ballet or pantomime, nor that of sportive gesture. Instead, they display a need for expression that is more restrained and lyrical than exalted and emotional and that appears as authentic self-expression. The nakedness draws us indeed toward the bodies themselves but the situations are bestowed with something timeless, something elementary. (Description by http-mart)

I bought this book used on a whim. I am so glad I did! The images in this book will be revisited again and again. They are sensual yet not explicit—beautiful, fit young men in motion, musculature and emotion reminiscent of classical statuary yet far more alive isolated on white with little staging and no props beyond the body of another. The collection seems simple but each image has a human depth that draws me into the moment. This is photography, the male form, as fine art, and I am glad to be able to revisit this fine exhibit at will. I am officially a Joe Ziolkowski fan!
