Omschrijving
The book has many illustrations which unfortunately cannot be shown fully here.
From the internet (english):
"Macho men for all those who like it rough Spanish photographer Guillem Medina presents in his first photo book DARE a spectacular mix: The men are hunky and muscular, the pictures are revised elaborately. Sometimes his pictures are little collages and sometimes they come along as a straddled version of Pierre et Gilles, but they are always unique and convincing. So whoever is not afraid of this tough guys should definitely get a copy of Dare."
A review:
"In DARE the Spanish photographer has elected to curate his works that emphasize the very macho, seethingly masculine male image. These models, all at the peak of body building perfection, are placed in settings both of negative space, allowing the attention to focus on the form of the figure and the energy of the sensuous message, and in manipulated backgrounds - some achieved with photoshop assistance while others are worked into naturally spectacular contexts of ropes, crumbling walls, darkened rooms with only a single window silhouetting the model. Medina has found a number of excessive tattooed models and incorporates the tattoo patterns by adding large snakes wrapping around the body or merely accentuating the stress of muscles in the pose Medina selects to spotlight the tattoo art.
These men are those we would expect to encounter in dark alleys or other avenues of danger, but while the DARE title suggests pugilism, many of these men retain a most impressive innocence in their gaze from bodies that look capable of significant damage if provoked. The photographs are lushly colored with fine color saturation in the printing process, beautifully designed for the page, and include solo as well as duo poses with all manner of story suggestion. Medina is talented and this is a fine introduction to his visceral art!"
And from the internet (german):
"Machomacker für alle, die es gern ein bisschen deftiger mögen: Der Spanier Guillem Medina präsentiert in seinem Erstlingswerk DARE eine herbe Mischung die Kerle sind männlich und muskulös, die Bilder wurden aufwendig bearbeitet. So erschafft Medina eine Bildwelt, die verflucht sexy ist, aber oft auch düster und bedrohlich wirkt. Er nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit, lässt uns in rauer Seemannsromantik schwelgen und präsentiert uns kerlige, tätowierte Typen, denen man sich nicht entziehen kann. In diesen Bildern steckt jede Menge Testosteron, aber Medina verlässt sich nicht einfach auf die Wirkung seiner geilen Kerle was er durchaus tun könnte: Mal zieht er seinen Arbeiten einen genialen Retro Mantel über, mal kommt er als breitbeinige Version von Pierre et Gilles daher und jedes Mal überzeugt er auf ganzer Linie. Wer keine Angst vor strammen Burschen hat, der sollte bei DARE zugreifen!"
