Danny Fitzgerald and Les Demi Dieux - Brooklyn Boys - Bruno Gmünder 2013

This monograph brings together photographs taken by Danny Fitzgerald between 1958 and 1968 under the name Les Demi Dieux, the photographic studio he ran with his partner Richard Bennett. Documenting young working-class men from Brooklyn, the photographs move between street scenes, portraits and male physique studies, capturing an intimate portrait of New York youth culture in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Combining documentary observation with carefully composed studio nudes, the book presents a rediscovered body of work that occupies a distinctive place in the history of male photography. Written and edited by Robert Loncar and James Norman Kempster.
