About the book
This is the first comprehensive study of homoeroticism and male homosexuality in the history of photography. Daguerre’s invention of photography was quickly adapted by men as a gay art form.
Pierre Borhan provides a fast-paced overview of the principal themes in 19th-century homoerotic photography.
Olivier Saillard surveys the homoerotic urge in fashion photography, from layouts in Vogue and other fashion magazines to the tongue-in-cheek advertising campaigns of Calvin Klein and other fashion icons.
Gilles Mora has sought out rare and unpublished prints by such seminal photographers as Horst, Mapplethorpe, and Herb Ritts.
