Gods of Sport
The images are beautiful — photographer Pedro Virgil really has transformed these football gods into sex gods!
The Photography of Pedro Virgil
Gods of Sport is an insight into the world of Australian 'footy players'. Photographer Pedro Virgil takes you on an intimate journey behind-the-scenes giving you candid glimpses of sportsmen as they bare their muscular physiques chiseled by combat on the field, and relax, often nude in front of the camera in a highly-charged interpretation of the spirit of masculinity.


Taking inspiration from movies such as Fight Club and 300, Pedro Virgil depicts these sportsmen in a way which is masculine and tough, yet at the same time artistic and exciting. Moody colours and subtle lighting techniques result in painting-like photographs which will captivate and draw you in. It is a collection of stunning photographs of Australian footballers as they have never been seen before!
Gods of Sport is a collector’s item and limited numbers will go on sale.

Australian photographer Pedro Virgil has been making waves with his work for years in magazines like Bent and DNA. He has also photographed for Rolex, Diesel and others. He puts a lot of work into all his images, resulting in professional high-gloss works of art of the superlative!


Gods of Sport: Pedro Virgil
Pedro Virgil's styled portraits of athlete's bodies celebrate testosterone-laden masculinity. With elegant poses and vivid coloring Virgil manages to create tension as well as including a tongue-in-cheek pathos that will bring a smile to your face. Muscular machos that will set your fantasies ablaze and subtle gay scenes mix together and unquestionably leave a lasting impression.
Gods of Football
Pedro Virgil shows the most handsome and sexiest Australian football stars at the beach, on the open sea and under the shower. His highly designed photographs depict football stars with bodies trained to perfection. In Gods of Sport he aesthetically “soiled” his models and placed them in magically dark surroundings; this time we see these superstars in naturally bright ambiences. His models are tight with tension, his photos are well thought through, composed, and styled – nothing is left to chance. Virgil has only one single aim: erotic tension.
