A photographic collection of the male torso.

For centuries, artists have studied the male anatomy to recreate their interpretations on paper, canvas, marble, and other sources. Muscle definitions were scrutinized when artists asked their models to twist their torso, lean on one hip, raise one or both hands over and behind their head, tilt the head towards a shoulder, chin down and then up, and many other positions creating specific muscles to expand, contract and studied closer. Not much has changed since artists like Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci set a new standard in their portraits of the human body. When photography was added in the early 1800s to the equipment used by artists, the art form was made more difficult to control the image and for their models to present themselves because photography captures what you see, not what your mind imagines. Although today's technology allows photographers/artists to make specific revisions to their work, the original photograph must always be clear and excellent. Subsequent adjustments do not necessarily turn a lousy photo into a finished piece of art.
