In the introduction to this book of photography of nude males, Bianchi points out that rarely do photographs capture nude men touching each other and he rightfully points out the historic and cultural taboos that arise around men touching men, especially when both are nude. Thus many of his photographs capture men touching. This alone is a significant contribution to the history of photography. The photographs included show nude men at play, primarily in the water, or in affectionate embrace, just bordering on the erotic. He often photographs nude men in action, which is actually some of his best work; but also photographs nude men in poses that emphasize the sculptural aspects of the nude male body. There are several photographs where the photographer is reflected in a mirror or window and this reveals that Bianchi may often photograph nudes while he himself is also nude. This aspect of his work is worthy of investigation and comment since it would appear that a nude photographer would reduce the power differential between the photographer and the model, thus allowing the model to be more at ease, more relaxed and conversational, maybe more informal, which would then be reflected in the photographs. The models are absolutely perfect specimens of the young muscular white human male. Bianchi says that he wished to provide a mirror for his models so that they could see their own beauty. This resonates with the practice of the photographer also being nude during the photography session for the photographer is a mirror of the model. Look at photograph 32, ‘Kieren, Serge, and Me’ and you see the photographer and photograph as mirrors of the models and vice versa. The photography has an ideal, structural, polished, minimal aspect. This results in the photographs appearing to be the lives of the beautiful people, the A crowd, and the wealthy class. I say this because those with financial resources can escape the clutter of the real world and these photographs, at no time, are cluttered. They are crisp, clean, and hard edged. Bianchi, in the introduction, indicates the photographs reflect his world, his friends, his home, and his loves. The black and white format with broad open borders supports this minimal, uncluttered vision of life. I would recommend this book, Bianchi is a highly accomplished artist.

The first time I saw this book was the summer before freshman year of high school at a national bookstore. This book was literally the first time I ever saw men in erotic poses with other men (before the widespread availability of the Internet). When I saw this book available on Amazon I knew I had to buy it and it brought back those memories. Very tasteful and artistic, it makes for a great coffee table book.

Anyone who loves the male form will love Bianchi's Out of the Studio. This photographer is not erotic, romantic, nor pornographic. Rather he is narcissistic in the best classical Greek tradition. To admire perfectly developed male bodies, and perhaps draw them, this is the book to buy. But after awhile these beauties become much like Lil' Abner and the other beautiful men of Dogpatch, USA-- too self absorbed.
