Bruce Weber, better known as Abercrombie and Fitch's rock star photographer, has some great images that celebrate the male form in an artful, tasteful and sensual way.
I actually, don't think there's enough of this type of imagery in advertising that focuses on men because there's so much image (sexualization) of female models in ads and they are the main focal point in ads and America in general is less comfortable with bare skin in advertising than other countries, specifically Europe.
Whatever you think of the A&F brand here's some of my favorite Bruce Weber images:
Lot of Weber's images remind me of summer so this one is only fitting.
Weber himself is gay and that's why I think the A&F brand has become so popular with the GB community because these images tap right into our desires and play to our psyche. More on that later.
