Vera Friederich has long been fascinated by the history and aesthetics of art. Her candid and cleverly structured photographs of the male nude are inspired by classical antiquity. Striking and original, hauntingly erotic, the impression they leave remains long after the last page has been turned. Young, athletic, handsome, erotic, the models are nonprofessional athletes from a variety of disciplines. Friederich's photos of them are aesthetic nude portraits, dynamic motion studies, and nudes in classical, meditative, or playful poses. Like the classical sculptures she admires, these images are concerned with the tension between the static art form and the athlete in motion. A master of closeups, Friederich works in depth, moving into the surface of the body, its texture, revealing the man in his entirety yet in detail. She carves body contours with light, shaping each figure into an elegant photo sculpture. Friederich's male nudes signal a new aestheticism in photography that has won her an international reputation.
