This item is a rare vintage and oversized ITALIAN publication titled SPECIALE FOTO babilonia edizioni No.36 featuring color and black/white photographic pictorials of beautiful European, young male nudes. Each bimonthly issue of SPECIAL FOTO highlights the world's best in young male nude photography, through the lens of a different photographer or studio. This issue was photographed exclusively by STANLEY STELLAR and measures approximately 13" x 8-1/2", which is an additional 2" of full bleed artistic photography. This magazine was produced in 1997 and it is still in UNREAD condition.

Brooklyn native Stanley Stellar was educated at Parsons School of Design where he focused on graphic design and photography. Stellar’s photography has been exhibited in galleries in the U.S. and Europe, presented and discussed in over a dozen anthologies, and featured on the covers of 26 international magazines. The Beauty of All Men, Photographs 1976-2011, a monograph, was published by All Saints Press.

Stellar photographs the visual culture of men, creating a depth and humanity in his photographs. One senses the person and not just the body. Being one of the photographers of the early period of gay liberation, many of his images from that time have become icons of that history.

He lives and works in Manhattan.
