Every year I wait with anticipation to see images and footage from the new Dieux Du Stade calendar appear on the net and this year is no different. This year sees the return of famous French photographer, Francois Rousseau to the helm. He created their attention grabbing 2004 calendar and book. His work is always so beautiful and it looks like he’s done it again, although I’d be a bit nervous if I was that poor guy being asked to climb nude onto a horse lying down.

A while back I posted about Francois Rousseau’s new book “Ora” and ordered a copy for a friend in the UK’s birthday. I had a few emails from Amazon.co.uk saying the order had been delayed but now it’s not even available and maybe I’m doing something wrong but Francois’ website isn’t loading for me either.
Does anyone know what’s happened with the release of this book? It looks like a stunning book and I was hoping to order myself a copy or put it on my christmas list for my family as they are bound to start asking what I want.
Francois Rousseau would have to be right up there alongside James Houston as my favourite contemporary photographer. His work is so rich and luscious, the men are gorgeous, locations sublime and beautifully presented.
Francois has just released a new book called “Ora” that he shot in Polynesia and as usual it’s exotic and totally sublime. Check out the “making of” video below. For some reason I can’t find the book on Amazon.com. I know it’s available on the french version of the site but I can’t add it to my wish list there so I remember where to get it.
