just a man in love

Hiroshi Shioharas second photobook Just a Man in Love portrays a couple having sex in a way not yet seen. Shiohara focuses exclusively on the facial expressions of the man as the couple goes from foreplay to climax (and eventually a walk in the grass, holding hands). The book offers no context and no details about the couple; yet the mans face earnest, natural, unpretending, glistening with sweat tells a whole story. A brilliant, poetic book about passion and love.
