As a photographer, Tom Bianchi truly has the Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns to gold. Every book that he has put out represents a new stage in his development as an artist and every one of them rises to a new standard in artistic photography. On The Couch certainly fits into line with his previous masterpieces. An amazing multitude of modern Adonis's, all of them with bodies to die for, strip down for Tom and pose upon his infamous leather couch. Many of them share the experience with their partner. And what unfolds is an unbelievably honest and at times brazen portrait of both the beautiful male body as well as the sexuality of men. Lovers kiss, they fondle and stroke each other, they embrace, and they play as boys. Many of the portraits feature the subject in a full state of arousal. This might be one of the magical qualities of the book, for Tom portrays the male member in such splendid fashion that few will fail to be enthralled. No one will review this book and not be touched or even changed in some manner.
