WHEN WE SAY BOOK ONE, ROOM SERVICE, FRIENDS AND FRIENDS & BROTHERS, MANY OF YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY THINK OF PHOTOGRAPHER ADAM RAPHAEL. THESE FOUR TITLES THE FIRST FOUR VOLUMES DISPLAYING HIS EXTRA ORDINARY TALENT IN BRINGING THE BEST OUT OF SEXY YOUNG MEN IN EVERYDAY SITUATIONS. AND NOW THERE IS BARELY WORKING.
Adam Raphael is the man behind the widely praised book Room Service, a luxurious collection of thirty-seven handsome men lounging, bathing and dining amid the sumptuous interiors and elegant finishes of the finest hotels in the world. No Adam comes with his newest publication, showing young men just as sexy as in his previous editions, but in a very different environment.
Barely Working is the name of a large collection of well built sexy young men, captured by Adam Raphael’s camera in various working – and playing – situations. Once again Adam has found a publishing partner in powerHouse Books, and the result is a fine square shape photo book, holding 112 full color pages between its hard cover. And once again Adam Raphael proofs us he knows as no other how to capture these young men in a situation that isn’t so different from what we all know, but with a sensuality and erotic load that you seldom see in real-time work situations.
Auto repair, car washing, landscaping, construction works. You find it all back in Barely Working. But sexy as it is, the fun starts when work gives away to play. Laughter, competition and youthful energy converge to create that sensual tensions that can only be made by a photographer who has the skill and talent to work closely together with his models, without ever overshadowing or crowding them. –B-
