Pretty Masculine

By Mike Ruiz

"Pretty Masculine" is the apogee of my latest effort to capture humanity out of context. It is the culmination  of my desire to incorporate my hyper-stylized and fantasy-driven style of photography and reinterpret the male ideal from a new perspective. It has been my intention to open a forum of sorts and, in so doing, inspire thought and dialogue with respect to finding alternative ways of looking at the world around us. In this case, to look at masculinity beyond what might be considered the stereotypical man. A portion of the proceeds benefit GMHC.

Lotsa Love,

Mike.
