For many years, Ernest Montgomery has photographed men of the Dominican Republic. His first photo book, Dominicanos, is a best-seller.
In his new project, Hermoso, he captures Dominican men in intimate and seductive scenes throughout Santo Domingo, Bonao, Barahona, Las Terrenas and more.
“Hermoso” is a Spanish word meaning handsome or beautiful. The title of the book gives you an idea to what is inside: the most beautiful men of the Dominican Republic photographed by an outstanding artist.
The rural communities of the Dominican Republic are filled with hard-working men; labourers, barbers, taxi drivers, sports players, and small businessmen who are fathers, uncles, and brothers looking to provide for their families and their communities. They are determined men who want what every man wants for himself: a house, economic mobility, and a loving family. And though they work hard, they play and love even harder.
In this new book, you will go inside the countryside, beaches, and barrios of these men. These images reflect the bright colourful side of Dominican male life — from the barbershop, to the baseball field, the basketball court, the luscious green land and majestic beaches.
These images are daring, bold, and vibrant. Each holds a story, an insight, and a view into a world that is not often seen to the outsider. You now have access to intimately engage into a privileged world.
To put it bluntly; Dominican guys are FRICKIN’ HOT AS FUCK and you should book a trip there now. Oh and pick up a copy of Hermoso to read on the plane.
Hermoso is available to buy from www.brunogmuender.com
