About the Book
Son's Of Adonis was a three year photo essay I began in 2011 right before I graduated from Oak Mountain High School and travelled between Alabama and Georgia . The images tell a story of beauty and gorgeousness that you can only find from dudes down South. All of the models featured are friends, peers, and other artist that I have encountered over the years some for a brief moment others for many years to come but either way these images will live on forever. As a photographer I try to create something with meaning that speaks to others in a way that words cant. I used a wide variety of male subjects for this project because over the years I worked on it I came to know so many different groups of people. Everyone from hipsters, fashion guys surfers, artist, film geeks, country boys, pot-heads, skaters, FRAT boys, rappers, and writers all who pose a different outlook on life and the way they view beauty.

About the Creator
Anthony Oliver
Mountain Brook , Alabama
Born and raised in Alabama, growing up in a diverse family I was never given a actual definition of beauty growing up so for my whole life I spent it trying to create beauty. I feel most powerful and most myself when Im holding my camera. I get inspiration from nearly everything someone told me that living in the South would never prove to be successful for any artist but I highly disagree. I plan to attend a college double majoring in by Photography and Journalism minor in French .
