Players Two Hardcover – July 1, 2011

I have purchased many photography books, and each have their strengths and weaknesses; some photographers overuse shadow to obscure some of the more enticing features on the models, others understand that aesthetic beauty is far more than simply "looking good" and having a "nice body". Case in point, Players Two succeeds in absolutely every regard; the models are not only beautiful, their bodies are proportioned to an almost fantasy standard, achieving a symmetry that can only be captured by a truly talented artist. These men are the pinnacle of masculinity, and their aesthetic beauty has been captured in such a way that it would make other men envious that we can not attain this level of physical perfection. Some of the more widely publicized photo books out there manage to only provide pictures of the ordinary man, but who wants to pay to see that? If I wanted to see the "average Joe", I would walk outside, as the streets are littered with them. But captured in photograph, I want to be astounded by the beauty that men can exude, and this book(and more importantly, this photography)achieves this in spades. If there is one book you should purchase, be it for artistic reference purposes (or to simply have something to ogle) look not further. This book is the epitome of what a male form photography book aspires to be. Congratulations are in order to Rick Day and to any all involved in this project; you have gained another admirer for life.

The size of this book is larger than the first and for that reason alone- the men featured are larger than life. This book would have to be considered parallel in the quality of models as the first. All these men are stunning and Rick has once again manipulated the light and camera work to really bring out the best photo. If you are a fan of the athletic male nude, you will have plenty to feast your eyes upon. This is a book worth the price tag.

Rick Day,really takes sportswear & sportsgear fetish to a whole other mouth-watering sexy level.Love his work.I own Players,Players2 & Pioneers. Have not picked up Castings yet, but will for sure.Players Two (Bruno Gmunder Verlag)PlayersPioneers

once again Rick Day does not disappoint, bringing his flawlessphotography into play with equally flawless menvery happy i bought it

RICK DAY has once again mastered the art of masculinity in this photobook. RD has created images of BIG MEN in a BIG BOOKIt impressess on every BIG page

The physical book is huge and the paper quality is top notch, but I think Rick Day must have run out ideas and/or models. This book is full of hot guys, but it's one "wet underwear" pose after another. If you liked "Players One," don't bother with this one.

lovely book!

Excellent!
