Product Description
Giovanni opens another chapter of desire for male meat! The male sexual organ has never been more directly or excitingly set into scene than in this fascinating declaration of love. While it may seem like a pure meat market on the surface, the artist's greatest concern is the individual beauty of man's best friend, which has earned it this honorific place in the sun. Giovanni never cheapens his art, lowering it to a sort of "dick pic" level - he shows himself a master of light and shadow, of form and composition. This title contains 112 plump pages showing a lust for life!

 Beautiful June 23, 2008

Un*/Cut is as beautiful a photo book about the penis you will ever see. There is a variety of penis types that keep you looking for more. There are black and white pictures as well as color. The models are as near perfect as you can get. I plan on buying several more copies for Christmas and give them as gifts to my special freinds.
So, if you like full frontal nudity and close-ups of the penis, this book is for you.
His Best Yet! April 12, 2008

If you enjoyed Giovanni's previous works, "Bites" and "Private Parts", you will be absolutely knocked out with "Un/Cut". I think it's the best of the three. The images of the models are beautifully photographed and quite thought provoking. These are some of the best "male members" you will see in any publication. Many of the photos display the foreskin drawn back to provide revealing shots. This is truly Giovanni's "crowning" achievement.
An Artist's Progress: Looking More Closely December 29, 2007

Giovanni (a self-confessed moniker for a famous fashion photographer) continues to focus on an obsession/admiration for that object of historic dispute - the male phallus. For centuries art vogues have either lauded the masculine symbol for fertility and power, whether in sculpture of the Greeks or paintings of the Renaissance, or those passing fads have draped or even lopped off the au courant offending organ. While Giovanni is far from the only artist to finally bring full frontal male nudity to the same spotlight once monopolized by female nudity, he is one of the major voices working today who focuses his art away from fashion on the male penis.
This book UN*/CUT is his third foray into the examination and presentation of the genesis of creation and it is in many ways his most successful. The photographs are all of the male sexual organ, this time around each of the organs is uncircumcised ('uncut'), and the penis is the sole point! The models doubtless are fine specimens of men, but here Giovanni limits his exposures to the groin. The photographs are beautifully executed, with some of the most sensitive lighting and composition imaginable, and the design of the book of both black and white and color images is of the highest quality. Giovanni is interviewed at the close of the book and his comments are warmly sensitive and honest, explaining and not apologizing for his choice of subject. There is a fine Foreword by Jazz expert Jim Eigo that sets the tone for the pages that follow - and those pages capture the penis in flaccid and erect pose, at times with the models' extremities as part of the image, but never with the faces showing, making it very clear what the message of the book is about.
It is refreshing to finally see books of this quality offering a platform for what has become the last frontier of accepting our sexuality. Artists such as Giovanni discard the past prudish prejudices and let the images speak clearly for freedom of expression. This is a quality book and the audience will likely appeal to women as well!

Yet another masterpiece by Giovanni. This book accompanies "Private Parts" and "Bites". A truly "must have" of the all natural uncut male.
