THIS YEAR IT WAS THE TURN FOR PHOTOGRAPHER MARIANO VIVANCO TO POINT HIS CAMERA TOWARDS THE NOW WORLD FAMOUS FRENCH NATIONAL RUGBY TEAM, IN ORDER TO SHOOT THE 6TH EDITION OF THE DIEUX DU STADE CALENDAR.
The Dieux du Stade 2007 calendar is beautiful and can best be described as a photobook with exceptional black & white and color photography of semi-nude and nude male physiques with superior print processing on high-grade/heavy-weight paper. This year’s theme - ‘Day Of Match’ - spanned across 45 pages, shot in a Paris stadium and its suburb, a hotel and a discotheque. One does wonder how much relation there still is to the actual rugby theme. Except from an occasional locker room background and a the more of less traditional rugby ball that appears o some of the images, the whole piece has a strong homo erotic feeling to it which is still nice, but does not have that much relation to the original rugby theme. If you don’t know the men, sometimes the link is hard to find. Nevertheless, the photos are once again beautiful, the muscled and sexy athletes challenging and seductive, and more then yummie.
The Dieux Du Stade calendars have been released annually since 2001. With such success and popularity, beginning in 2004, the calendar shoots are filmed and thus beginning the "Making of the Calendar" DVD series. This year is no exception. -B-
