Barely Working

In Barely Working," says Reed Massengill, "pipe wrenches and earth-moving equipment are handled with grace and ease by Raphael’s young men, who practically throb with visceral friendliness and ‘aw shucks’ charm while possessing a humanity that makes them irresistibly appealing."

Room Service

Room Service is a luxurious collection of thirty-seven handsome young men lounging, bathing, and dining amid the sumptuous interiors and elegant finishes of the finest hotels of America’s eastern seaboard. Adam Raphael’s photographs are immediately likable and sexy as hell – a testament to his ability to make his guys comfortable and trusting in front of his camera. Some photographers try twice as hard, but seldom achieve even half as much.

Adam Raphael, photographer of the widely praised Room Service, offers a delicious collection of young men in his newest book, Barely Working. Once again documenting a racially diverse group of the finest faces and bodies, Raphael has captured his models in various working situations including auto repair, car washing, landscaping, and other similar settings. Of course, work soon gives way to play, and the unique combination of laughter, competition, and youthful energy converge to create a sensual tension that can only be made by a photographer who has the skill and talent to work closely with his models without ever overshadowing or crowding them.
