Rating:  Summary: Johan ... many men's dream boy. A gripping collection. Review: This book excels itself, both as an excellent example of photographs of an extremely sexy model and also as an example of the quality of these Editon Euros imprints.I imagine that most guys will have seen Johan at some time, principally in the Bel Ami videos which are themselves outstanding. Most of the images are of Johan, although there are some of him with other Bel Ami boys. How they find these beauties is a mystery. As always, Johan just exudes "sex" from every page. He and the others seem to truly enjoy their modelling and that sense is captured in every photograph. I would draw your attention to Howard Roffman's book of photos entitled "Johan", which let us glimpse this 'wunderkind' some years later in his life, and you can see his body becoming slightly more rounded and adult - much more sexy in my view. There is almost a "Hamilton-esque" style to many of these pictures - not in the poses, but in the feel, the lighting etc. They could almost be 'misty'. Despite the colour (I prefer B&W) this book makes a welcome entry onto my bookshelves.
Rating:  Summary: Stuning collection of photos of European star Johan Paulik! Review: This is a collection of the best photos taken by Bel Ami, aka George Duroy, of young European star Johan Paulik, probably one of the most perfect human samples to walk this Earth. For anyone who's seen a Bel Ami movie and appreciates the male form, this book is a must have. The photography is exquisite, just like all other Duroy works. This guy just knows how to capture the essense of these beautiful boys. There are plenty of photos including some of Johan with other Bel Ami models such as gorgeous Ion Davidov. You just can't get any better than this! Five stars!? I'd give it six if they'd allow me...
