Known for his well-crafted portraits and sensuous male and female nudes, Greg Gorman is one of the most sought-after and highly acclaimed photographers working today and, doubtless, part of the star-making machine that is Hollywood. Over the previous two decades, Gorman has worked obsessively, carving out a classically refined style that is uniquely his own. His images-whether personality portraits for celebrities, fine artwork, or major ad campaigns-suggest a mastery of the medium that few have rivaled. One recognizes a Gorman photograph for its atmospheric lighting, flawless posing and composition, and unabashed sense of glamour and eroticism. These are the hallmarks that have made Gorman a giant in photography.

In 2000, Gorman surprised and thrilled critics with the first book to delve entirely into his obsession with the male nude. A very personal book, As I See It showed another side of Gorman's work that many had anticipated and were eager to absorb. Although numerous artists have explored the male nude in photography, As I See It revealed a sensual edge and passion rarely seen in this genre.

Now, in Just Between Us, Gorman goes even deeper into his personal obsession, with a bold compilation unmatched for its candor and sexuality. This highly charged work has Gorman focusing his lens exclusively on one model, also named Greg. In their solid year of shooting Just Between Us, an unusual collaborative relationship evolved, which for Gorman was truly exceptional. "As Greg and I began to explore the depths of this photographic relationship, so to speak, it soon became obvious that to complete a body of work as obsessive as this was becoming, we needed to include the sexual aspects of Greg's personality as well." What unfolds is a photographic narrative unfettered by convention or popular mores. It is a cinematic-like journey that explores the deepest aspects of mutual trust and the precarious balance of the model/artist relationship.

Just Between Us represents Gorman's most authentic, perhaps most inspired body of work to date. Men and women alike will thrill to this erotic and sexually charged series.

Born in Kansas City in 1949, Greg Gorman began his career in photography in 1969, when he borrowed a friend's camera to shoot Jimi Hendrix in concert. Two weeks later, he did the same for a Doors show. Thirty years later, Gorman has become one of the leading photographic artists of his time, shooting ad campaigns, directing music videos, and portraying the most compelling luminaries of film, music, and sports.
