Face Off

The latest MetroSource NY cover story profiles celebrity photographer John Russo as he prepares for the release of his new book, "About Face," a collection of striking black-and-white Polaroids of some of the most ridiculously handsome men around. Russo describes the photos as "raw," as in no retouching ("What you see is what you get"), and says he elected to shoot the men from the shoulders up because he wanted it to be all about their faces. "There are so many naked boy books out there," he explained. But, "there's nothing better than looking at a beautiful face. And I'm obsessed with people's eyes." His subjects include everyone from established Hollywood actors, models and athletes to up-and-comers and regular guys on the street (and by "regular" he means EXTREMELY hot.). Pick up a copy of MetroSource to see a bunch of cute outtakes of sexy cover boy Clay Adler. For more information about the book, go to AboutFaceProject.com HERE.
