The ancient Greeks thought the gods dwelled on Mount Olympus. We can confidently report that they've moved to the Paris Rugby stadium! Elaborating on the photographs taken for the popular calendar of the same name, these tantalizing images feature players of the famous international rugby club, the Stade Francais Paris, in all their unclothed glory. Tony Duran's work worships the human form, whether in his sexually charged nude studies, his sensual fashion photography, or his inventive celebrity portraiture. Duran has take his signature style to Dieux di Stade, where he transforms the athlete into graphic sensual male form.

Absolutely superb ultra-sexy pictures (in a something of a departure you see a good few penises in this publication). Go on - treat yourself!

What can you say about a book of beautiful sportsmen in the buff, a great book to look at, inspires one to be more sporty and look after themselves. Also, a fun book to pull out at a dinner party for the girls to drool over, very funny to see them select their favourite.

Dieux du Stade: A Brilliant Addition To My Coffee Table
14 July 2010
By Maria Swett
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Behold the glimmering gods of Tony Duran's Dieux du Stade.
When I first opened to these black and white images, it felt like a visual dream--moving me in and out of a steamy locker room. One of my favorite photos is of a man holding a rugby ball, concealing his member, positioned against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. Some other images that stick in my mind: a couple of nude men embracing each other; a striking photograph of one man's handsome face in another's lap; the muscular sweet cheeks of a man standing against a locker room wall.
This sort of homoerotica can be enjoyed by both men and women (I especially enjoy the few delicious erect surprises throughout the book). Duran captures some photos from rooftops and balconies which not only gives me a view of Paris, but also provides an industrial, sadio-masochistic, blood-rushed excitement.
I'm pleased to have added Tony Duran's Diuex du Stade to my coffee table collection. This book properly defines and absorbs the male form as I desire: athletic, nude, and comely.

Great Gift
16 July 2010
By Maria M.

Format:Hardcover
This book was a fun present for my bride-to-be friend who is an avid photographer. I gave it to her as a bachelorette gift. The photographs are sensuous not vulgar, and though erotic, still fine art. (Basically, still safe to have on the coffee table when parents visit.) We still went through the book giggling and drooling at the French rugby team like best friends at a slumber party! However, as a photographer, she said she was very impressed not only with the photographer's eye for form and mastering sexy without being crude, but also with the overall quality and printing of the book. She said that this is definitely one of the best photography books she has in her collection. Now she just needs a coffee table! (Ha! It's on her wedding registry!)

Returning to the Concept of the Ancient Games
29 Jan 2011
By Grady Harp
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
By now the very popular series DIEUX DU STADE: GODS OF THE STADIUM is well known and photographer Tony Duran has moved onto other levels of using his art of photography to advertise and glamorize models throughout the world. Yet every year we are gifted with his continuing series of athletes in action, brilliant male specimens going about training or displaying their hard won physiques. Duran's models are often nude but rarely does he show frontal nudity. His emphasis is on the magic of performance these well trained athletes demonstrate. In his word's 'I brought back every memory as an athlete to this project. Coaching, focus, passion, and a bit of aggression were all things these players could relate to. For once I didn't have to look at a bunching dress or an uptight publicist. It was mano a mano. Look at the camera; push your shoulders down. Jump! Jump ! Jump! In the fashion world I am a bull. In this world, I am a coach. It is all about perception. It was one of the easiest and most enjoyable shoots I have ever accomplished.'
The photographs are taken in the Paris Rugby Stadium - the Stade Français Paris - and the interplay between the playing spaces and thee niches for relaxation gives us the complete view of how athletes perform and train and interact. And in presenting the athletes in this very natural manner Duran manages to compose some of the most sensual images available. It is photographic art of the highest order. Grady Harp, January 11
