Artistic Male Photography September 2, 2010

Palmer, Jeff. "Touch", Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh, 2007.
Artistic Male Photography
Amos Lassen
The title is "Touch" and the photographs in this book are "touching", Jeff Palmer's beautiful artistic male photography shows us beautiful American men together sensually and intimately. The men are muscular and are photographed in highly emotional scenes that have been masterfully enveloped in light and shadows. We see the men's self-assurance and abandon. If you are familiar with photographer Jeff Palmer then you know that he is a master of black and white photography and he
conveys a sense that is generally best experienced in person but brings it to the camera lens. We see caresses, embraces, and kisses and even more that are all beautifully captured by Palmer's camera. There is a great deal of warmth in the photography and this is not always seen in black and white photos. The photographs that we have here are quiet yet extremely sexy and sensual. It is almost as if we are peeping toms on some very intimate moments. We see no passion; rather we see need and tender feelings. Each photograph makes us feel tranquil as we look at the beauty of the male body. The title "Touch" fits the volume perfectly as the models touch us in quiet ways as they share their photographs with us, Jeff Palmer gives us another beautiful series of photographs in another beautiful book.

Jeff Palmer is a photographic artist who manages to find in the human form those aspects that are most private and most vulnerable, In this book TOUCH he has created portraits of men alone and men together, never in the throes of passion but instead in the silence of need and tenderness. Each of these beautifully rendered photographs suggests repose, tranquility, absorption in the beauty of the male form appreciating the Grecian grace that comes with health and care of the physique. At times he pairs images of the same model in sleeping form, and in awakening to the realities of and personal pleasures of day, while at other times he concentrates on the form at rest or sleep, in bed with subtle light or in the beauty of nature outdoors.
The images of men together are particularly significant in that they are not in active gratification, but instead in those moments of repose, tenderness and warmth that are the moods here. There are some images that are simply faces where touch is the model's hand supporting his face - the message is in the eyes - while others capture sculptural curves in isolated body parts, alone and shared. TOUCH is an apt title to this sensitive book of photographs of beautifully healthy male models who just happen to be sharing the pleasure of the care of their bodies. This is a sensitive, moody, gentle, respectful praise of the male nude and Jeff Palmer knows how to capture this as well as any artist today. Grady Harp, August 10
Another one from the black and white master November 26, 2007

It takes a uniquely talented, seasoned master of photography like Jeff Palmer to convey a sense that is generally best experienced in person and translate it so meaningfully to another sense entirely.
In this book, the tactile experience of caresses, rubs, embraces and more is eloquently captured, evoking the emotions associated with these physical sensations in an almost inevitable way: the rush of feeling when a loved one brushes you as he walks by, the light touch of a supportive hand on the back of your neck, and yes - the pleasures found by self-touch.
Jeff Palmer's beloved black and white is anything but cold and unemotional, thriving without warm color by the intense heat of physical closeness. Like the light frisson that often accompanies an intimate stroke of a finger, these images will surprise you with their quiet yet potent sensuality.
