Dylan Rosser:

In 1998, upon his move to London, Rosser sought a change in direction which marked the start of his photographic work. Frustrated with how the male form was depicted within the media, Rosser began a showcase for his work with TheMaleForm.net. With the success of the site, Rosser’s reputation for creating images described as ‘powerfully erotic’, ‘classic’, ‘raw and edgy’ grew. His work, featuring models from around the world, can now be seen regularly in photo anthologies, international magazines, and in his newest online project tMfMagazine.com. Rosser’s last two books, X-Posed and RED have received critical acclaim worldwide.
