It contained 100 of Weber’s photographs, comprised of landscape shots and figure studies (some NSFW). Some patches of spotting to spine of book, with further light spotting to insides of jacket and long edges of pages due to previous storage. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In 2017 Weber was sued by former models over claims of sexual harassment during their shoots in the 90s.

In this volume, Bruce presents an arcadian vision of “broad serenity,” a singularly beautiful collection of male nudes and landscapes. His work is recognizable from the popular black and white Calvin Klein ads in the 1980s and 90s, but also Ralph Lauren and Versace campaigns. And this book was originally made to benefit the AIDS Resource Center in NYC, so what's not to love? It was already a relatively rare photography book and this recent publicity has increased both its selling cost and decreased its availability. He's still publishing books of his work, directing documentaries, and shooting magazine covers, including ICON magazine's April 2022 issue.

White Hot makes it clear that photographer Bruce Weber (and his book Bear Pond—more on that in a sec) was the brains and inspiration behind the marketing campaign. He first rose to fame for his barely-there Calvin Klein ads that took the fashion industry by storm in the 1980s and 90s. The magic behind the success is their marketing and brand consistency, which started with their aesthetic in the 80s.
