New Queer Photography : Focus on The Margins

Kostis Fokas

Editor/curator Benjamin Wolbergs book New Queer Photography: Focus On The Margins is an excellent anthology of provocative and stunning contemporary images.

Wolbergs said Around three years ago, I was working on the layout of a book about physique photography with photos from the 1950s, whose aesthetics and visual worlds were clearly intended to appeal to a gay audience. In the course of this work, I asked myself: What would a book with contemporary gay and queer photography look like? What photographers, topics, and styles would be included in such a book today?

Around that time, I became aware of the works of Matt Lambert and Florian Hetz, and I started to look for other gay and queer photographers. As my research intensified, a universe of incredibly talented LGBTQ photographers emerged in front of me, characterized by a wide variety of different styles and visual worlds beyond clichés and preconceptions. This is how the idea of New Queer Photography was born.
