Desire is the key. French photographer Fred Goudon presents CINQ, his fifth
photo book, which is an extraordinary touching and sensitive piece of work. Of
course the title is way more than a simple enumeration. The number five—cinq
in the French language—is in many cultures a symbol for the human being, for
love, but also for unity, harmony and balance. “This is what I feel when I am
working”, explains Goudon. Of course “Five” also stands for the five senses.
And one can truly gain the impression that this is a book for all of our senses:
You can almost smell the alluring odor of these infatuate men, feel their strong
bodies, taste the salt on their skin and hear their sighs … it’s due to Goudon’s
unique talent that every single picture is drenched with amazing intimacy.
His models—some of them wrote accompanying texts for the book—tell how
easy and enriching it is to work with Goudon. His idea is clearly visible and
successfully implemented: to create his own interpretation of the men he
photographs. As an example, the actor Gilles Marini (“Sex and the City”,
“Brothers & Sisters” and others)—who was discovered by Goudon at the age of
18—writes: “He has the ability to evoke in his models that je ne sais quoi that
makes him the unique human being that he is ... what an artist!”
Fred Goudon was born in Cannes in the south of France on June 1, 1965. He
studies journalism, worked as a radio DJ and then as a press photographer. He
has been working as a fashion and advertising photographer and reached
further prominence with the release of the photo books Aqua, Bedtime Stories,
Sunday Morning and Virility by Bruno Gmünder.

Est un mannequin français né le 06 mars 1982 au Dom-Tom à St Claude, Guadeloupe. Il est d'origine indienne et martiniquaise.

Matteo de son pseudo n'a pas échappé à nos yeux experts malgré ses trop rares apparitions. Regard de braise, crâne rasé, corps imberbe et musclé sec, ce gars de la banlieue en est sorti vite fait pour faire ses débuts avec de grands Mrs (*) de l'image. Il est repéré par un photographe qui recherche des profils « typés » comme on dit pudiquement. Oui, Matteo est black et fier d'afficher son beau visage à Los Angeles pour divers clichés ..
