Inspired by the style of renowned photographers like Herb Ritts, Pamela Hanson, Richard Avedon, and Helmut Newton, these posters sought to highlight the beauty and power of the human body, often showcasing sculpted physiques. In The Male Archer, Harwood captures a muscular, Schwarzenegger-like figure in a dynamic pose, extending a bow to showcase the subject’s well-defined pectorals and chest. The poster was part of a series titled The New Breed Collection, which celebrated strong and athletic male forms in artistic and daring compositions. This image, like others in the series, reflects the aesthetic trends of the late 1980s, when idealized portrayals of the human body were gaining popularity in both fine art and commercial photography.
