ISLAND Spotlight :: New Book | DEFENSIO by Richard Gerst

In great adulation WE present to you DEFENSIO, a new book finally released globally in print by our very own New York City talent, photographer Richard Gerst.

DEFENSIO is a book about Love, an art and social commentary which is not to be confused for your regular "men's photo book"- but something much deeper and very unique. As stated in the book, Defensio's focus can be summarized in two statements:
1) The ability to love freely is worth fighting for.
2) Fashion winks to a higher ideal, knowing the "love freely ability" for most . . . is fantasy.
