----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THESELECTED PRESS & REVIEWS ABOUT THE NEW 7th BOOK: "CONVICTS" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 PERCENT: "With his seventh book, German photographer Kingdome 19 sets forth his recipe for success. Secretive settings, a brooding atmosphere, and expressively virile models lay the groundwork for the photographer's sensual, sexual escapades. Kingdome 19's newest stroke of genius "Convicts" portrays a dream-like, surreal world, dominated by motifs of captivity and isolation. His men are desperate, rebellious, but at the same time pensive and pained. "Convicts" is an intensely grueling experience; the raw animalistic eroticism of the models permeates each page. The exquisite printing with an antique duotone finish goes to heighten each images uniqueness and lends Kingdome 19's aesthetics an unmistakable atmosphere. Kingdome 19 has worked for many years in the area of erotic photography, known for his well-hung models so perfectly arranged before minimalist backgrounds. Through sophisticated photo lab technology, his work receives the final touches, rendering each image an original as well as a collector's item. Kingdome 19 has stubbornly refused digitalization, opting for the traditional photographic method. Handcrafted art, made in Germany!" -------------------- TLA: ( by: Nick Strathern ) Despite what this book would have you believe, committing a crime will not necessarily get you locked up with any of these men. But that doesn?t stop us from concocting the dirty fantasies that these images inspire. Kingdome 19 has such a distinct style and a thrilling, throbbing bevy of men who seem to be impossibly endowed. This new collection is specifically themed with men wasting away their days behind bars - nothing to entertain them but their own hands and bodies. Oiled up and glistening, they work themselves into a frenzied state behind bars at the hands of their captors. Kingdome 19?s models are incredibly handsome European men, some are porn stars, and they all have an old-world eroticism that is heightened through the artistic treatment the photographs receive. All of the factors culminate in one impressive volume that will arouse any man with a love of bad boys and hard throbbing night sticks. As they say ?Don?t do the crime, if you can?t do the time.? If you do, here?s to hoping you get locked up with some studs half as hot as the ones in this book. -------------------- Amazon.co.uk ( by: Grady Harp ) German photographer KINGDOME 19 has a unique approach to photography. In the words of the artist 'I work in the traditional way, that means having a film for 36 pictures, which need to be developed in the lab first. I also have negatives, which I develop myself in my private lab on photographic paper. This way is how I create unique pieces, of which there is only one copy. After that, the frames and scripts are included - only by hand. When everything is ready I can go to the lab and combine all the elements together. This is a really time-consuming job. The scratches and all the antique-effects develop from the countless sheets and double and triple exposures. To have a personal style is very important to me.' The resultant photographs are so unique that they cannot be duplicated as editions: he even mixes the sepia toners himself from an old recipe and that alone precludes repetition. The images he completes, in addition to the model carefully chosen for look and ability to create an atmosphere, contains writing superimposed on the work, sgraffito, faded borders, light enhancement, and superimposed imagery that gives the sense of a fine etching or lithograph. This particular monograph concentrates on incarcerated men; 'This topic provides me with the necessary freedom to include emotions and fantasy in the pictures. After my first coffee-table book dealing with prisons, ARRESTED, I received lots of letters and requests. To find out that such a topic was of interest for the public in general was a great surprise to me. Many men could picture their fantasies about detainees and what happens behind bars. Also in CONVICTS you can find models that were in jail for real. The story of their lives is fascinating and frightening at the same time. "Felix", the model on the front cover, hanged himself in his cell short before the release of ARRESTED. That was a big shock to me. We had been working together for many years and we knew each other really well. I wanted to break up with this topic, but there were too many fans and collectors who wanted to see a continuation.' This then is a book of images that are tough, harsh, and threatening, but at the same time, in the hands of KINGDOME 19, the eyes and stances and configuration of the models convey that 'prison' is only a temporary part of their lives and as the artist states 'Nothing in life is coincidence'. Grady Harp, January 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED PRESS & REVIEWS ABOUT THE 6th BOOK: "WICKED DREAMS" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP CHOICE BOOKS: "Kingdome 19 is certainly one of the most creative photographers to come along in years. Creating multilayered images from negatives of text or prose, Kingdome 19 creates a surreal and ethereal atmosphere, which surrounds his models in almost every image. From his first work in 1997, "Euros Edition 7", Kingdome 19 made his mark and set his own standard for future works. When he published "2 Omen in 1998 ( his first full size hardcover book ), he demonstrated a mastery of multicolor artful images, as well as various burning techniques, which became his trademark. "2 0men" remains one of his most rare titles, and for good reason, as his propensity of using well-endowed models grace the pages of his book with such frequency, that the viewer is treated to unparalleled visionary. This trend continues throughout his subsequent works. Kingdome 19 continues to work in an artful area few photographers are capable of working. His latest two works are a testament to how his creativity has developed to a well-honed unique photographic practice of incredible boldness, and incredible imagery." -------------------- A Provocative Photographer's Eloquent Collection: Opus 2 - by: Grady Harp ( found on: TLA VIDEO.COM ) "WICKED DREAMS is a beautifully produced book of the further work of a German photographer who uses the moniker 'Kingdome 19'. For the past ten years he has stepped up from his training as a carpenter and graphic designer to focus on his true verve - representing 'emancipated gay identity'. His models are straight men, body builders, martial artists, prisoners and skinheads: his settings are derelict buildings and forgotten spaces. His subject matter is the nature of dreams, erotic photographs of his highly selected groups of men in full tumescence, and are a fine follow-up to his first highly successful book UNIVERSAL. His technique is hand wrought photographs worked from initial developing through the manipulation phase in his own darkroom. Not only are the men of this series magnificent specimens of unfettered masculinity, they are obviously very much at ease with Kingdome 19's vision. Using the texts of Elton John songs as themes these black and white and sepia toned images incorporate words and phrases, design elements and are molded with the artist's gift for using natural light in the most dramatic of ways. Clearly the book is aimed at a particular audience who are bound to be wholly satisfied with the product. But for lovers of fine photography, no matter the subject matter, WICKED DREAMS is an elegant, brave, seductive book and deserves an even broader audience - and may just be the beginning of more artistic gender equality for viewers! This is a very handsome, artistic, fine creative work." -------------------- AUCTIVE STORE: "WICKED DREAMS is a visual landscape of devilish fantasy, featuring gorgeous young men fully aroused. Photographer Kingdome 19, who contributed to the stunning collection Universal, returns with more uniquely treated images celebrating male prowess. These photos transport us to unidentifiable places, alcoves, industrial corners, brick walls, barred windows, that draw all our focus to the subject of each photo. Men sit pensively, glistening with sweat as they show off the key to their desire, passion and lust. Explicit, full-frontal nudity throughout." -------------------- NEXT MAGAZINE - NEW YORK: "HOT ART HEAT - Looking very much like brittle and faded turn-of-the-century daguerreotypes you'd find at a flea market... ...the latest collection of photographs from German photographer Kingdome 19. Organized and inspired by songs from Elton John, "Wicked Dreams" pairs the blunt and unabashed sexuality of his young nude models with select lyrics and old-school photographic darkroom methods to create a unique mediation on lust that's rife with melancholy and drama." -------------------- BAY AREA REPORTER: ( by: John F. Karr ) "There's a near glut of books depicting calendar-boy cuties who don't show their genitals at all, or show them soft. They're coy, is what they are. They're all coy. The photographer who embraces the priapic male in his erect glory gets my vote and my eternal devotion. So I've been a fan of the German photographer with the fanciful name Kingdome 19 since I first saw his work, three or four collections ago. He doesn't disappoint with his best work yet, WICKED DREAMS. Kingdome 19 is not at all coy. He's as pre-occupied as I am with erections. He revels in cock power, yet always integrates the man with his meat. And what bedside manner Kingdome must have! His models - for the most part, straight men, professional athletes, and skinheads - must know they're being turned into gay iconography. Yet they give of themselves so fully. Well, who doesn't want to see their masculinity glorified, their erection honored ? We can only thank them for their generosity. They're photographed in half-light, in derelict buildings, amidst crumbling masonry, rusted girders and looming bars. The solidity of the settings, along with the filtered light and the subsequent manipulations of Kingdome's printing process, gives the portraits a powerful yet meditative, sometimes melancholy aura. Kingdome's moderated brazenness is unique. The sepia tones, the scratches, distressed marks and deteriorating edges, provide both a frame and a contrast of an antique nature to the very present and contemporary models. I don't much care for the seemingly arbitrary and rather juvenile imposition of words and phrases on the photos. Yet Kingdome's maturing, and for the most part has abandoned these greeting card-like homilies. The remaining few do not disfigure. Do Kingdome 19's re-workings of his negatives turn sex photos to art ? You bet. A hard-on never had it so good." -------------------- LES MOTS A LA BOUCHE "Un nouvel album de Kingdome 19 qui garde son parti pris d'images en sépia et noir et blanc retravaillées à la main. Les modèles, toujours TBM, photographiés dans des poses classiques, dégagent force, vulnérabilité et mélancolie. De quoi nourrir vos rêves." -------------------- GAY NEWS. NL: "Most photographers of men make rather straightforward pictures, whether it's in color or black-and-white. Sometimes I'm even overtaken by the nasty thought that they spend more time finding models than with actually making the photographs. In this respect the Berlin photographer Kingdome 19 is an odd man out in the world of male photography. With this, I don't mean to imply that he doesn't pay attention to his models, but that he's also committed to traditional dark room work and that he manipulates his negatives in a very personal way. Kingdome 19 came late to photography. He was trained as a carpenter and graphic artist, and especially this latter profession still influences his photographic output. To create the finished work of art, he usually submits his negatives to complicated multiple exposures and strange, unfamiliar graphic methods, and he often includes ancient scripts or mysterious hieroglyphics. His photos get an extra alienating effect, as if they are remnant artefacts from a submerged, mysterious, homoerotic culture, by his use of sepia tones. Recently Kingdome 19 published WICKED DREAMS, a title provided by one of Elton John's songs, whose texts inspired this project. According to the afterword, many of Kingdome 19's models are straight men, body builders, and martial artists, as well as prisoners and skinheads. So, it's safe to say, they're no sissies ! This series is furthermore, still as per the afterword, dedicated to young men, just coming of age. Since the ages of the models are given nowhere, I can't judge whether this is true, but these models are certainly full-grown. I know it's not politically correct to judge the work of a photographer by other than artistic standards, but I'm sure that part of Kingdome 19's popularity can be explained by the fact that his models aren't punished with little shrimps between their legs, but are well-endowed men." -------------------- PRIAPE.COM - L'UNIVERS DE EROTISME GAI "Les jeunes hommes que Kingdome 19 photographie ont tous un point en commun: ils sont terriblement sexy. Le photographe les dispose ces jeune éphèbes dans une aventure à travers le temps dans un monde surréel. Les modèles prennent des poses classiques, ce qui intensifie la puissance, mais aussi la vulnérabilité et la mélancolie. Ces images sont teintées en noir et blanc avec de la nudité frontale et même des érections." "The young men Kingdome 19 photographs all have at least one commonality -- they are fiercely sexy. The photographer then sets these hunks into a journey through time into a powerfully surreal world. The models are in classic poses which radiate power, vulnerability and melancholy. These are all tinted black & white photos with full frontal nudity and many have erections." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED PRESS & REVIEWS ABOUT THE COLLABORATION BOOK: "UNIVERSAL" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TLA VIDEO.COM ( Review by: Scott Cranin ) "Without question this new volume from Kingdome 19 is one of the best gay erotic photograph books we've ever seen. The collection consists of superb tinted duotone photographs of naked, mostly hard men that have been altered by Kingdome 19 with amazing overlays. Check out the photo gallery to get a feeling of the treats in store for you. Many of the models are world-class porn stars, all of them are studs. Some of the models included are: Spike, Joe Landon, Adam Killian, Thom Barron, Rafael Carreras and many more. UNIVERSAL is the result of a highly creative project between two very different German artists. Kingdome 19's photographs have held an important position in the world of erotic photography for years. What makes his work so special is the graphical interpratation of the photographic image and its further development into a work of art breaking all boundaries. Henning von Berg has made a name for himself in the photography scene ove many years. His scandalous "Reichstag Rascals" series in which he photographed a group of 6 naked men in the Berlin Parliament caused an international sensation and is currently being shown around tehe world. His specialty is combining bodies and buildings. This 2002 collaboration is their first. The results, we're sure you'll agree, are unique and almost sacred in their love of the erect male form." -------------------- LES MOTS A LA BOUCHE: "Un très beau recueil des célèbres photos sépia. Plus de 120 photos très érotiques du photographe K19 & HVB retravaillées par Kingdome 19. Les décors, les mises en scènes et le travail graphique sont toujours aussi étonnants. Un ouvrage remarquable." -------------------- MEN MAGAZINE: "Kingdome 19 is famous for using special laboratory processes to give his pictures a soft-edged, dreamlike quality. Reviewer Robert Dallmeyer called the book "a stunning & sexy effort by two outstanding photographers gifted with an appreciation for masculine beauty and art. That's exactly what makes this book a must-have. It looks stunning on your coffee table & makes for some pulse-pounding stroke material." -------------------- SUBLIMEPALMSPRINGS.COM: "YOWZA! This 160-pages book of photos is the first joint project of Kingdome 19 and Henning von Berg, who have already had great success with their individual works and have now together opened up a range of new perspectives. Exciting shots of striking-looking, well-hung, powerful men, artistically posed in just the right light. Painstaking lab processing gives these artists' photographs an unusually graphic look, literally confronting us with naked reality. In solo portraits, often surreal and classically elegant, we see dream bodies which set our own desires burning. Brim-full of the bare hard facts, coming directly from our wildest fantasies." -------------------- UNZIPPED: "Celebrated German photographers Kingdome 19 and Henning von Berg combined their talents for this ambitious series of rugged, intense homoerotic art. Melding erotic photography with text and tempered by scratchy photo manipulation, the works are striking in their edginess while also expressing a tender vulnerability. Gorgeous naked man with strikingly beautiful bodies set against exotic locations take viewers on a visual trip to an erotic fantasy land they won't to leave. The vast collection of images features men of various nationalities and body types, all of them stunning in their own way and sexy enough to stimulate your brain as well as your cock. Unlike those lame courses you sat through in college, this is one art history lesson that won't make you doze off." -------------------- AKUT: "Ins virtuelle Paradies der Supermodels mit starrem Blick auf den Schritt entführen die Fotokünstler K19 & HVB. Allerdings sind es bei den abgebildeten Männern nicht die langen Beine, die seit Jahren ins Auge stechen. Die aufwändige Nachbearbeitung verleiht den Aufnahmen jenen surrealen Feinschliff, der die zeitgenössischen Leiber wie klassische Götter wirken lässt und die Ausstattung der Jungs noch besser zur Geltung bringt." -------------------- X-FACTOR: "Having had great success with their individual works of the male nude, K19 & HVB have collaborated to produce a visually enhancing experience of definitive male nudes, in UNIVERSAL. UNIVERSAL provides exciting, yet exaggerated, shots of powerfully striking, well-hung men who were obviously photographed for a little more than their cock size. The meticulous lab processing of the photographs provides graphic detail to erotic images that are bathed in sepia-like light. Though the form of the subjects provides an artistic eminence similiar to most male-nude photo books, the viewer is constantly distracted from the overall ( and potential ) skilled photography by the resolute target of the model's genitalia. This eventually proves to be UNIVERSAL's focus. UNIVERSAL delivers large cocks and dream bodies in the form of surreal and classic elegance. However, given the past projects of K19 and HVB, viewers may find themselves pondering the overabundant theme. On the other hand, size queens will find themselves in heaven as they experience the vastness of the universe with UNIVERSAL." --------------------- INSTIGATOR: "The world's largest gay publisher Bruno Gmuender unleashed the new collaborative photo coffee table book UNIVERSAL in Berlin from critically acclaimed photographers K19 and HVB. The book is in stores worldwide and features powerfully strong images of the male body in richly masculine settings. The boys are modern, but the artistic style is reminiscent of ancient photographs. We've seen coffe table books before, but this one blows us away. If you appreciate hot boys in HOT poses, this is a MUST for any lover of excellent photography." -------------------- AMAZON.COM ( Review by: Grady Harp ) "UNIVERSAL is a successful collaborative effort between Kingdome 19 (the well known carpenter/graphic artist turned photographer) and Henning von Berg (an equally well known architectural engineer turned photographer), both artists from Germany and both highly respected in Europe and now the USA. Their subject matter is the male nude and their similarities are their focus on non-studio settings and on their brave depiction of the aroused male. From von Berg's vast collection of photographs, Kingdome 19 re-worked many in his developing room, adding graphic details, works, markings, and other artistic elements, enhancing von Berg's sometimes static works immensely. But the book also shares many of Kingdome 19's own photographs, all presented in sepia toning, all with some degree of handcrafted manipulation to enhance the artistic aspect of the finished product, and all sensually beautiful in the casual manner in which he shares his models' willingness to be totally free with their posing. As the art world (since Mapplethorpe) has matured more and more to the point that male nudity, and even aroused male images, is becoming more accepted. Certainly at the top of the list of brave photographers is the always exciting work of Kingdome 19. This book contains nearly 150 images that are strong and challenging. Another fine book from Bruno Gmunder Verlag GmbH." |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED PRESS & REVIEWS ABOUT THE SECOND BOOK: "2 OMEN" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP CHOICE BOOKS LLC: "This is Kingdome 19's second publication. "In 2 0MEN Kingdome 19 takes the viewer to a world of sensual sexy guys who dabble in some restraint and bondage imagery. The models are (as usual) beautiful well-endowed exotic men who provide rich eye-candy for the viewer. Kingdome 19 focuses on the male nude physique in sometimes compromising positions, using real and layered imagery. Each image is layered with accents or artifact to enhance the setting and final image. It is a merger of photography and graphic art, and Kingdome 19 is a master." -------------------- TLA VIDEO.COM "This amazing new book from Kingdome 19 represents some of his best work during the years 1990-1996. His provocative male nudes exude a clear aesthetic as well as powerful erotic qualities and incorporate classical, academic and sexual themes in their portraits. Kingdome 19 takes hot naked male photography, scans into a computer and does an amazing overlay that not only ages the photo but brings a political or text message to the image. Lest you think this is some academic-looking book, there are some of the hottest naked men, hard as rocks in this book. Enjoy..." -------------------- "DIE SCHWULEN BUCHLÄDEN": "Der Fotograf Kingdome 19 hat einen eigenen, sehr poetischen Stil entwickelt, schwule Lust und Geilhiet zu inszenieren. Erotische Aktfotos werden kunstvoll nachbearbeitet, getont, gebleicht, mit Schrift überblendet, bis sie wie angegilbte Fotos aus einer lang vergangenen Zeit wirken, Traumbilder voll dunkler Erotik." -------------------- A.K. MAGAZIN: "Der junge Berliner Fotograf ist daran, einen eigenen, unverwechselbaren Stil zu entwickeln. Wie etwa Pierre et Gilles bearbeitet er seine Fotoabzüge: nur werden die Jungs bei ihm nicht übernatürlich schön, sondern erhalten ein rauhes, maskulines, kämpferischen Aussehen. Auch bei ihm sind die Bilder das Spiegelbild einer schwulen Szene: kurze Haare, Stiefel und Uniformteile sind die Symbole einer Szene, die sich hart, rauh und männlich gibt. Nach seinem ersten, kleinen Buch in der Edition Euros ist jetzt ein großer Fotoband erschienen, der eine breite Palette seines Werkes zeigt. Dass Kingdome 19 auch Grafiker ist, merkt man dem Buch an: die Bildreihenfolge ist genau studiert, nirgends wird's langweilig. Nur ein bisschen teuer ist der Band." -------------------- BRUNO GMÜNDER VERSAND KATALOG: "Durch seinen außergewöhnlichen Band aus der Reihe "Edition Euros" hat sich KINGDOME 19, geboren 1966 in Berlin, bereits einem breiten Publikum vorgestellt. "2 Omen" zeigt nun einen Querschnitt aus seinen bisherigen Werken. KINGDOME 19 schafft seine eigenen Negative, von der Anfangszeit der Fotografie bis hin zu Posen sexueller Hingabe. All seine Fotos, ob Portrait oder provozierender Akt, strahlen eine starke Erotik aus und brillieren durch ein ungewohnt starke Ästhetik." -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED PRESS & REVIEWS ABOUT THE FIRST BOOK: "EDITION EUROS # 7" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP CHOICE BOOKS LLC: "Kingdome 19. That is the trade name of a German photographer working from Berlin. This "Euros Edition" book is the prelude to a larger book recently released. There are many components to 19?s work that immediately stand out. He uses "overlays" of other images to make a statement, or to "decorate" his gorgeous male subjects. Many of the images appear ? aged ?, or faded. This stylistic imagery makes "Kingdome 19?s" work unique. This is a very ?different? book of images, but it really packs a wallop in photographic content. There are a variety of image tones, and the models are posed in unique settings. This book is out of print, and not easily obtained in this condition." -------------------- BRUNO GMÜNDER VERSAND KATALOG: "Phantastische Bilderwelten und mystische Erotik perfekt in Szene gesetzt - durch die aufwendige Bearbeitung seiner Bilder lässt der junge Berliner Fotograf jede einzelne Ablichtung zu einem wahren Unikat werden. -------------------- TLA VIDEO.COM "Fantastic imagery meets mystical eroticism. Young, randy men proudly exhibiting themselves. Berlin photographer Kingdome 19 produces unique erotic pictures through elaborate staging." -------------------- "DIE SCHWULEN BUCHLÄDEN": "Kingdome 19 ist ein ungewöhnlicher Name für einen Fotografen, und ungewöhnlich ist auch sein Stil. Erotische Männerportraits werden in der Dunkelkammer kunstvoll nachbearbeitet, werden getont und zerkratzt, bis sie den Charme alter Schnappschüsse entwickeln. Die so erzeugte Spannung zwischen scheinbar angegilbter Patina und prallen, fleischlichen Inhalten ist eigenwillig und ausgesprochen reizvoll." -------------------- |
