"The male on male gaze of Charles Moriarty, from youth to adulthood, has been collected in earnest. A refreshing empathy is at play, with both restraint and desire in equal measure."

"What a truly beautiful photo book.
Intimate, striking, emotional and sexy.
Moriarty has an immense talent for catching the gentleness in strong subjects. The book itself is gorgeously presented, from the minimalist outer cover, the colour of the hardback and inner covers and to the matt paper pages. A really personal and impressive publication!"

"I’ve been a big fan of Charles’s photography for over a year now, and supporting his vision with this copy of X must be one of the best things I’ve spent my money on in 2020. Every shot has a story to tell, and you find yourself lost in the pages. It’s one of those books I’ll keep going back to over and over again discovering new things I hadn’t seen previously. This is truly a piece of art."
