Following on the success of the first two volumes, the Slovak-born photographer, who grew up in Canada, pays tribute once again to the men of his native land. He describes the concept behind the book succinctly: "I show guys doing what they always do, only doing it naked." "Nothing to Hide 3" portrays young men who are athletic, energetic and self-confident, in harmony with themselves and their surroundings. Whether nudes or portraits, in color or in black and white, Phil Dlab's photos capture the power and authenticity of young men who really have nothing to hide.

Following the great success of his first photo book, "Nothing to Hide. Young Men from Slovakia", Phil Dlab returns to his Slovakian homeland and pays homage to the masculine charms of its young men. Six protagonists are the center of his attention. They embody athleticism, energy and confidence and are in harmony with themselves and their natural surroundings. Whether nudes or portraits, black-and-white or in color, Phil Dlab's photographs always capture the power of authenticity and the poetry of the moment -- the freedom of beautiful young men who have nothing to hide.
