HIDDEN MASTER FILM OUTFEST RECEPTION

HIDDEN MASTER FILM OUTFEST RECEPTION

George Platt Lynes began his career photographing celebrities, and it’s those portraits along with his extravagant fashion work that he’s best remembered for today. However, George’s heart, his passion, and his greatest talent lay elsewhere, in his work with the male nude. This work, sensuous and radically explicit for its time, has only recently begun being fully discovered and appreciated for the revolution that it represents — a man capturing his fantasies as a gift, a window to a future his camera saw coming before anyone else. From visionary art director Sam Shahid, HIDDEN MASTER features a stunning collection of photography from...

BOUND WITH PHOTOGRAPHER STEVEN HARWICK

BOUND WITH PHOTOGRAPHER STEVEN HARWICK

Steven Harwick has been taking photographs since he was a child, and with an affinity for fetish in his teenage years, he found a powerful form to express his identity by marrying these interests.

Printed matter is a touchstone of his creative career, beginning with a self-published zine “Bound Leather”, which brings a new perspective to the Physique Pictorial inspired images, boasting fifteen issues.

TOTALLY FLOORED WITH JOAKIM ANDREASSON

TOTALLY FLOORED WITH JOAKIM ANDREASSON

Joakim Andreassson is the man behind the machine— he is the founder of CULTUREEDIT and has spearheaded all Tom of Finland’s licensing for the past 7 years. In addition, he curates exhibitions across disciplines, highlighting the best of counterculture fashion, art, and lifestyle. Seriously, this guy is prolific and connected to just about every queer icon on your radar. Those cool art/fashion collaborations you're seeing everywhere, Andreasson probably put them together, including ones with JW Anderson, Diesel and Honey Fucking Dijon. In 2012, he created HENZEL STUDIO COLLABORATIONS, a program of artist designed rugs with Swedish rug publisher Henzel Studio...

"CRUISING" with Hiro Clark

"CRUISING" with Hiro Clark

If you were part of the fashion-art-politics-commerce movement of the early 2000s, you probably know who Andy Salzer is. He founded and operated cult fashion brand Yoko Devereaux in (perhaps the last) frenetic New York moment, adored by the media and worn by of-the-moment celebrities like Pharrell, Josh Harnett and the Scissor Sisters. After “killing” Yoko Devereaux in 2009, Salzer moved to Los Angeles where he ultimately launched Hiro Clark, a men’s t-shirt line that uses classic form as a vehicle to communicate tongue in cheek statements. Entrenched in the duality of Los Angeles, Hiro Clark makes the “it” t-shirt...

CONSTELLATIONS By Tyler Matthew Oyer

CONSTELLATIONS By Tyler Matthew Oyer

Tyler Matthew Oyer is one of those people who is prolific, not just in one space, but in many. With roots in theatrics, Oyer does everything from producing full length music albums, to conjuring dead queer artists as performance. His CV reads like a novel filled with impressive turns; the most recent creative endeavor is portraiture, which he started shooting informally in 2019. CONSTELLATIONS, his first photo exhibition can still be seen online at Culture Edit, where prints are also available. The show documents a modern cast of one-of-a-kind individuals (stars), which forms a greater community of bohemians (constellations). Having spent...
