Dylan Ricci restores the male nude to its rightful place in the
world of fine art photography by recapturing the purity
and formality pioneered by Imogen Cunningham, Edward
Weston and other master photographers of the 1920’s
and 30’s.
Ricci’s images are stylish, classic with a sense
of timeless beauty often lacking in contemporary male
nude photography.
While studying sculpture in Florence, Ricci came to believe that the male body, at its physical peak, is the most pure and beautiful form of art. In his quest to escape the often cliched depictions of male nudes in contemporary fine art photography, Dylan discards the swords, Roman pillars, unmade beds and other paraphernalia to capture the purity, sensuality and sculptural beauty of the male body. He concentrates on lighting, shadow and composition to lift his beautiful men from the two dimensional world of the photographic image to create images of the male nude that are timeless and which capture the true beauty, power and majesty of the male body.
In addition to being published in a number of international
art magazines and fine art photography books, Ricci’s
male nude photographs are held in galleries and private
collections throughout the United States, Europe and
Asia.
Dylan Ricci was born in Rome in 1966 and moved to Australia
with his family at the age of seven. He currently divides
his time between Asia and Europe.
