Johan Paulik

This abstract is from materials provided by the publisher.

A chance encounter introduced Bel Ami superstar Johan Paulik to world-famous photographer Howard Roffman in early 2000. The result is a dramatic new book that allows Johan's legions of fans to see their idol as never before: through Roffman's incisive eye in the timeless medium of black and white photography.

“There are few erotic stars who have become icons, and Johan Paulik is definitely one of them — and now I know why,” says Roffman. “His personality shines through whenever he steps in front of a camera. His fans love him because they can see the lovely person that he is. There is no pretense with him. He is a delight to be around. It was very exciting to be able to capture his natural exuberance on film.”

Johan is decidedly more modest. In his introduction to the book, he notes: “At the tender age of 25, despite the many nice compliments I receive, I think that my modeling career is nearing the end.” Howard Roffman obviously disagreed, and has created a book that should delight both Paulik and Roffman followers alike.

Johan Paulik is known and loved by fans around the world for his work in Bel Ami films such as An American in Prague, CoverBoys, Frisky Summer and Lukas' Story.
