Hot Australian Athletes for Charity

Just because we’re on the subject, they’re so sexy, and it’s FOR CHARITY…

Naked for a Cause has released Gods of Sport  in aid of The McGrath Foundation: a premium quality, hardcover photography book of previously unseen images from the shooting of the Naked for a Cause: Australian Footballers 2008 calendar.

Gods of Sport is an insight into the world of ‘footy players’. Photographer Pedro Virgil takes you on an intimate journey behind-the-scenes giving you candid glimpses of these men as they bare their muscular physiques chiseled by combat on the field, and relax, often nude in front of the camera. It is a highly charged, photographic interpretation of the naked spirit of masculinity.”Virgil’s athletes proudly show what they’ve got. Whether he sets the scene in a boiler room with a fog machine or under the spotlights of the pitch, the systematic staging of his imagery creates an artificial world for the viewer. In the end, it’s nothing more-or less-than a gorgeous illusion,” Helmuth Täuber, public relations manager for publisher Bruno Gmunder told AVN Novelty Business magazine.

Or as I say, “Yum.”
