description: With their refreshing sense of serendipity and their use of contrast between subject and background, Bill Costa's photographs are among the most visually arresting male nudes ever seen. Eschewing the standard art aesthetic of the nude, Costa establishes a sense of shared intimacy between his models and the viewer through his photographs. His images are at once powerful and familiar, erotically charged without abandoning a sense of the commonplace.
