With the award season among us, kicked-off by this weekend's Golden Globes, W Magazine has released their annual "Best Performances" movie issue. Stunning, brilliant and colorful images of Hollywood's superstars like Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and Shailene Woodley have captured the creative mind and lens of photographer Tim Walker. W Magazine says Walker "was influenced by the colorful, sun-drenched Los Angeles paintings and photographs of David Hockney, as well as the '70s free-love aesthetic that informs the artist's work." The willingness from the actors to transform played beautifully with Walker's vision and sensibility resulting in an exquisite, stylized and visually dynamic body of work.

Gay in America

Meet

Scott Pasfield

and several of the Georgia based men of this beautiful coffee table survey of Gay men in America at

Outwrite Books

this Thursday at 7:30pm.

In this first-ever photographic survey of gay men in America, stereotypes are laid to rest and an intimate, honest picture of contemporary gay life is revealed through stunning personal portraits and narratives.

Photographer

Scott Pasfield

traveled 54,000 miles across all fifty states over a two-year span gathering stories and documenting the lives of 140 gay men from all walks of life. At turns joyful and somber, reflective and celebratory, each narrative and image is an enlightening look into the variety of gay life in the United States.

Pasfield’s striking and perceptive portraits reflect the same beautiful diversity found in any sampling of our population. Each of these men is unique and whole, complex and fallible, just as we all are. They come in every size and shape, every religion, color, profession, and background. There are farmers, writers, doctors, lawyers, artists, teachers, students; there are fathers and husbands, activists, and business men. Some are successful, some are struggling, some are political, some are wealthy, some are wounded, and some are deeply content.

Their commonality draws from a single shared trait: their homosexuality. These are men who are attracted to men, and have chosen not to disguise that truth. For many, there have been harsh consequences to this decision, but also deep rewards. The message that prevails is one of great hope that true equality is close within our reach, if only we would grasp it.

Alice Jaitla says, “Working in the editorial world, I realized that we should be applying the same principles and elements we use to capture beautiful commercial images to noncommercial portraiture, to create a luxury portrait experience.” At LURE, this means a customized shoot with professional hairstyling, makeup, creative direction, photography, and retouching.
