Iron Men by Lorenzo Gomez is spectacular! There is not as much full-frontal nudity as one might typically expect in this genre of book but that in no way diminishes the magnificent photography and selection of models. The choice of men that appear in Iron Men is outstanding - well developed specimens of all that is naturally male and wonderfully athletic. It might be easy to create a photospread of men posing around an industrial site but to do so without appearing "queerly campy" takes real artistic talent! Iron Men achieves this and celebrates the incredible beauty of the male form as art. Lorenzo Gomez is the kind of creative master for whom professional cameras are made.

Lorenzo Gomez is well known for photographing Latino men in books & calendars and bringing out their sensuality and sexuality. In this book he doesn't disappoint as this is another top-notch collection of photos that showcase his incredible talent and the beauty of his models. As in his other book, the now out-of-print "Dios Latino", he photographs his subjects in a variety of poses wearing overalls, work boots etc. set to an industrial backdrop. This book is a little different as there IS full-frontal nudity, something that "Dios Latino" did not have. This is a great collection of photographs and a testament to Lorenzo Gomez's photographic talent.

Photographer Lorenzo Gomez and publisher Bruno Gmunder make a very good fit: Gomez knows how to create full body bulk with luminous lighting and Bruno Gmunder is as superb as any publisher at bringing the finest quality of color photography in the business. Long a proponent of capturing the physicality of the male physique, Lorenzo Gomez has assembled a group of perfectly sculpted body builders, placed them in context with machinery, pipes, ladders, ropes, leather aprons, and other paraphernalia of the hot work place, and in doing so he has blended the male machine with the work machine into a series of sensual poses that while reminiscent of the early 20th century Physique Photos are by nature of his models very contemporary.
Interestingly Gomez more often than not elects to bypass total nudity with quasi-nude choices, and as has been an accepted art stratagem for centuries, a bit of cover makes his models even more erotic. If there is a constant in these lush color photographs aside from the theme of 'iron', it is the use of light: his light source always appears to be the sun from all portions of the day. The result is a soft golden ambience that illuminates these body builders and brings them down to earth - in the best sense of the term.
Though this portfolio has an obvious captive audience, the casual browser will find much to entice the eye in this fine body of work! Grady Harp, November 05

If you are in the mood for a collection of photos of magnificent men this is the book to buy. You will find yourself lingering over each picture, and if you have a truly vivid imagination, you can create for yourself a fantasy about each of the hotties in this book that should take you to the edge of total satisfaction. WOOF!
