SOMBRA, a sumptuous book of erotic male nudes, portraits and still-life works by award-winning fashion photographer Ruven Afanador. The book comes with a foreword by fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
Taking inspiration from early European paintings and photography techniques, Afanador presents a captivating take on male nudes and erotic portraiture by manipulating the solarization and shadows (the word sombra means shadow in Spanish) of his images.
With Sombra, Afandor turns to his lifelong love of the aesthetics of dance for inspiration, taking dancers and models (including young Channing Tatum) as his subjects. Combining elegant, deeply erotic nudes and portraits of men with a selection of lavish still-life tableaux, he has created a stunning tome replete with sensuality and beauty.
