I recently ordered and received B33k, the portfolio of Nikos Vasilakis < >
It is, largely, people through his eyes though it's so much more encompassing of a person's personal scope, how they see people and how they see concepts and imagery.

In short, it's the perfect coffee table book for visitors (and yourself) to browse through for some relaxing photography.

My favorite parts about it are the deep contrasts in tone, Nikos' ability to bring out eyes, hair, and skin in such a vivid portrayal whilst staying within a realm of reality. The element of class combined with modern sexuality explore an intoxicating realm of culture. Yet, don't expect the photos to hold back, they assault the senses in their striking portrayal of the human body and human society. Materialism and absence surround the majority of these photos and yet Nikos occasionally breaks consistency by presenting harmonious photos of peace and nature.

My only quip about B33k is that there are no options in the size it is presented, B33k is smaller (a little less than 8.5in x 11in) and I believe that photography highly benefits from larger size presentations.

Still, the resolution of the photos are crisp and clear and Nikos presents his views in a splash of varied saturation. B33k is available in softcover and hardcover, though I recommend the hardcover in this instance for overall presentation to all who value the portrayal of people, concept, beauty, and sexual culture.

I don't think I can embed images without my membership, so these links will have to do for previews; they're all shots of the book at my apartment in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

If anything, browse through his gallery, he has quite a variety of taste from the obscure to the enchanting, to both.
