About Kouros

Kouros is a statue of a male youth, especially those dating from the Archaic Period of Greek sculpture. Modern art historians have used the word to refer to this specific type of male nude statue since the 1890s. Kouroi were also commonly known as Apollos, since it was assumed that all kouroi depicted the ideally youthful Apollo. ("Kouros," Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia) 

Launched in November 2007, Kouros Photography began as a part time project feeding off Apollowear.com. The concept embodies the visualization and idea of presenting the male form as work of fine art. The male body is a landscape of picturesque details, when captured skillfully is a work of fine art. Our focus is to exhibit the finest examples of male physique and to deliver top quality prints to admire for years to come.  

Our prints are available by themselves or well matted and framed prepared for hanging on your walls. We do all the photography in our studio or on location at various settings including our friend's homes and gardens. All of our models are amateur models that we work with in the Raleigh-Durham area. We hope to grow in 2008 with the help and support of our friends and fellow admirers of the beauty of the male form.
