Paul Freeman

    Paul Freeman is renowned for his photographic monographs that explore the male nude. His portraits of athletes, Olympians, and actors capture the contemporary young Australian male in his element, whether at home, at work, or at play. Freeman's work delves into male aesthetics, often juxtaposing our collective artistic heritage with modern reality, drawing inspiration from classical sculpture, painting, and surrealist film. His photography is distinguished by its ability to convey intimacy while commenting on broader societal and artistic attitudes toward the male physique.

    Larrikin Lads
    • Meet the Larrikin Lads. Photographed mainly in England, this fourth volume in the Larrikin series is more from Paul Freeman about the working man. Here they are depicted toiling and cavorting in unwelcoming semi-rural, semi-industrial environments, used skilfully to emphasise visceral masculinity and stoicism, but also to accentuate vulnerabilities. And the happy perseverance of men amongst the dirt is, along with their unashamed nakedness, one of the signature Freeman eulogies to male beauty, strength and sensuality.
