INTRODUCTION
I first met Dylan back in 2008. It was my first time shooting another photographer, so I was a bit nervous. When Dylan arrived at my studio, all my nervous energy dissipated. He was not only quite handsome but genuine. I was working on my first book for Bruno Gmünder and was not fully familiar with a lot of the photographers on their roster.
Since our first encounter I have been following Dylan's work and am always amazed at his attention to detail as well as his ability to find such nice subject matter. I love that I am writing for this book Naked (this is from the Introduction for Naked) because when I think of Dylan's work, the last thing I think about is clothing. Dylan dresses his models and beautiful lighting and often times presents those in an almost sterile environment yet bathing them in richly saturated color. His images are stark, erotic and effortless... and trust me... that is a talent within itself. I am honored to call him my friend and I look forward to seeing where he takes us next. -- Rick Day
ABOUT THE BOOK
Full Frontal is sort-of a breather for Dylan Rosser, after a meteoric rise in popularity and fame from the premiere of his first three books, x-Posed (2008), RED (2009) and Naked (2011). That’s hard to do, three coffee-table books in four years. And for a new artist, almost unheard of. But Dylan Rosser had a plan, and it looks like he’s out of the starting blocks in super-fast style.
Full Frontal is a retrospective of the BEST images that turned us on since 2008. The three books Rosser published since then, plus images that he has added to spice up the drink to make it wild and crazy, are the best of the best.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Originally from South Africa, Dylan Rosser started his career as a graphic designer working on various lifestyle magazines in Cape Town. In 1998, upon his move to London, Rosser sought a change in direction which marked the start of his photographic work. Frustrated with how the male form was rarely depicted within the media, Rosser began a showcase for his work with TheMaleForm.net. With the success of the site, Rosser's reputation for creating images described as “powerfully erotic,” “classic,” “raw and edgy” grew. His work, featuring models from around the world, can now be seen regularly in photo anthologies, international magazines, and his newest online project tMfMagazine.com. Rosser’s last three books, X-Posed, Red, and Naked have received critical acclaim worldwide.
