Paul Freeman ist bekannt für seine fotografischen Monografien, die sich mit dem männlichen Akt auseinandersetzen. Seine Porträts von Sportlern, Olympiateilnehmern und Schauspielern fangen den zeitgenössischen jungen australischen Mann in seinem Element ein, sei es zu Hause, bei der Arbeit oder in seiner Freizeit. Freemans Werk befasst sich mit männlicher Ästhetik und stellt unser kollektives künstlerisches Erbe der modernen Realität gegenüber, wobei es Inspiration aus klassischer Skulptur, Malerei und surrealistischen Filmen schöpft. Seine Fotografie zeichnet sich durch ihre Fähigkeit aus, Intimität zu vermitteln und gleichzeitig breitere gesellschaftliche und künstlerische Haltungen zum männlichen Körper zu kommentieren.

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.
Welcome to Larrikin Digs. This third volume in the Larrikin series is shot in gritty and eclectic home environments, from Britain to Italy, New York to Florida and across to Nevada, and from Queensland to New South Wales in Australia. From the seedy to the shabby chic, these bachelor pads form a textural backdrop for this quieter collection of Paul Freeman masculine sensuality and beauty, with its usual Spartan disdain for pretension.
