Joan Crisol's first photography collection fascinates with its
coarse-grained aesthetic, complex coloring and sensual erotic
staging – these are simply stirringly beautiful photographs! The
dynamics that develops when browsing through the book takes
one's breath away.
Crisol's men are masculine, striking, and
although they hardly ever let all the pieces of clothes fall down,
one can still detect the fire burning just below the surface on
every page.
This large-format volume of 120 pages presents the impressive
oeuvre of one of Spain's most promising talents. Crisol is difficult
to beat as far as ingenuity is concerned. He captures his hotblooded
machos – Chulo is Spanish slang for a cool guy - in
picture-perfect, often almost melodramatic images. This book
lives and breathes the dusty atmosphere of those legendary
Westerns – the men seem almost fused with their surroundings,
and their eyes speak of fervent desires they cannot conceal. This
collection is a wild and daring adventure that is sure to cause a
sensation!
Press Clippings
"The men in CHULO are certainly stunning, and some of the photos are incredibly gorgeous. For true male erotic photography book collectors, this is a must."
EDGE Boston
"Chulo is a Spanish term for 'cute boy', and there are indeed plenty of dazzling chulos within these 120 hardbound pages."
