Death:1989
- Openly gay- Reflected in photography
- Kept his sexuality hidden from his father all this life
- Raised as a catholic
- Most images in black and white- well known for this typical work
- Had a selection of photography of flowers done purely for money
- Portrait photography style displayed full attention to detail
- Many images displayed lots of emotions
- portrayed Manhattan gay community
- Liked to push boundaries and release controversial pieces
- A lot of images of natural environment-not set up for photo purposes
- Wanted to show sides of places that people ignored
- Captured a part of the world/ a scene he was apart of and familiar with
- Opened up people minds to new ideas
The two images show the contrast throughout his work, from what he done for the money compared to what he wanted to shoot.
