[Maia cover]

Prometheus

By Marcelo Maia

In this lyrical collection, the black male nude as subject is taken beyond what has become the conventional expectation and experience. Working specifically with the formal elements of composition and light, Maia not only dramatically displays the beauty of the male form but also challenges the existing depictions of black men as photographic subject. Sensual, erotic, and beautiful, Marcelo Maia's work attracts the eye for both its technical skill and the artistic grace of his portraits.

Marcelo Maia was born and raised in Brazil. He know lives and works in New York City.
