These photos and the use of light made me see the people behind the photo. Then I read their stories. This book is a thought provoking and stunning collection honoring veterans wounded in the battles they have fought.
Being a fan of military veterans this book caught my attention as a "had to own". Mr Stokes has built such a rapport with these men and women who have sacrificed for us and that rapport shows. The veterans have been beautifully posed, the backgrounds just set them off and it is a book that I treasure.
Superb photography
Absolutly amazing!!! I looked foward to receiving it and was not disappointed
brilliant art
I ordered this book from Michael Stokes website, because I wanted a signed copy. As someone who has collected art books for at least 30 years, I was amazed when I opened this book, and found something truly extraordinary, unlike anything I had encountered previously. Michael's artistry and humanity shines forth in this remarkable endeavor. Here he is celebrating the ability of the human spirit to adapt to whatever madness and misfortune is thrown it's way. These men, and one woman, are incredibly brave and most likely they were quite surprised to see themselves portrayed in this book in a way none of them could have ever imagined. Michael has honored their vulnerability and courageousness and the resultis stunning and very meaningful. I am not surprised that some viewers might have a hard time accepting loss of limbs and sexiness coexisting in these images. Everyone has the right, no matter their circumstances, to proudly flaunt their peacock feathers, so to speak, and they are still very much sexual beings, no matter what horrendous events may have changed their physicality. Michael applauds them and their wish to be as vibrant and beautiful as ever. The sheer determination in the faces of these former warriors gives us all hope that we be could be equally brave if life hit us as hard as it has hit them. They may have been knocked down by the ravages of war, but they roar their defiance. The society is quick to say, on no you can't, but they are the human spirit at it greatest triumph. An ignorant person might misunderstand the whole premise of this book. If someone has been torn asunder by war, how could they possibly think they had any sexiness left to give? These folks give you sexiness and then some! They are not a sideshow with Michael as the barker, they are in your face saying, I just went through something most of you couldn't imagine happening in your wildest dreams, and I am here to teach you that anyone can come back from slipping down into the abyss of what has to be the most unimaginable human tragedy and agony conceivable. Michael, your artistry and compassion and warmth shows through in this remarkable book. You have done something that has elevated the art of the art book to a new level. Also doing good for your fellow man is the central thread here, and it was so lovely of you to donate some proceeds from the book sales to help these groups. I hope in my own small way that a little bit of cash from the book I purchased finds it way to help as well. We have certainly become a world where looksism has made anyone who looks different feel left out, or worse judged. I was most impressed by the photographs side by side of the same person looking very whole, and then not quite as whole, and being vulnerable is okay, and who among us is perfect. Also, the hater always hates themselves to the greatest degree. I'm sure these folks have endured the most vile of human behavior imaginable. The stories of some of these men toward of the end of the book were heartwarming and so reassuring. When you are having a bad hair day, or got a parking ticket, just imagine how challenging life would be to have been devastated by war both emotionally and physically. And then they have to pick themselves up and dust themselves off, and their true friends will be there for them, not the good time Charlies. I was drawn to this book in part because my late father John, had such physical adversity. He never fought in a war, but he suffered MD and polio as a child, but through determination and much effort and the inability to accept the word Can't in his vocabulary, he lived almost to 84. His doctors had written him off as having a great chance of dying in his teens, but he was not having that !!! I wish these men, and the one lady in the book, all the happiness in the world, all the brightest of futures despite their circumstances. Your lives have certainly been changed by this book, and Michael's as well. You folks need to give us that facial expression when we get too silly about life's minor mishaps. If we live 1000 years, most of us, we would never have been tested in the ways you folks were, and wish you well as you deal with all this. Michael, Bravo to you, you are magnificent in your abilities as an artist, and I hope there will be much more magic coming forth from your lens in the near future. Based on the release dates of your books you seem quite prolific!! I have collected many of your books, but in my opinion, this one is your masterpiece, your Sistine Chapel, your Mona Lisa!, your Guernica !!!I will treasure this book forever!! THANK YOU!!!
Michael Stokes is an artistic genius. His work is absolutely Beautiful. Invictus is a fine example of Modern Classic Art. It's like a modern day version of the works of Michelangelo. The "models" Mr. Stokes photographs are nothing short of incredible as well & not just for their looks. The Strength & Honor of each individual is truly something to be respected. In my opinion Mr. Stokes is one of the best photographers in the world at this time. His visions & creativity shines in each shot. Thank you Mr. Stokes for yet another fine art book & sharing your beautiful work with us.
Stunning photography and subjects, wrapped in a hardback binding! Michael Stokes captures the innate beauty of subjects others might dismiss, and does so in such an artistic breath of fresh air that most of the time, you would never even notice that there is something different about them. The styles that Michael infuses bring about a masterful depth to his two-dimensional images.
