Players
The first photo book from Rick Day is Players. And just like his models Rick Day loves to play with the expectations of the contemplator.
The photography of Rick Day
Superficially it’s all about sports, about immaculate and trained bodies in chunky rugby wear, tight trunks or or even less. But Rick Day is not just taking pictures of masculine sex appeal. His work impresses with an almost corporeal tension. An interaction of straightforwardness and intimacy keeps on questioning: Who is the subject and who is the object?
I wanted to blur the lines of sexuality with this project. Men and women should be able to turn the pages and lose themselves in beauty and lust.
— Rick Day
