Thomas Synnamon's SLEEPLESS is a successful first monograph of a new artist's work. Previously active as a model, Synnamon brings to his new venture of photography a core of information that most other photographers do not possess: he has been the subject of photographs and now he is the creator. That may seem a small additive to his self-trained new vocation, but spending time with his images encourages an inner knowledge of just how to achieve the result he wants. His models appear to confide in him in the creative act in a very responsive way, making these black and white and color photographs in praise of the male form a very personal success for him.
