A photo essay by Michael Andre, featuring Nicky Neto. Michael Andre is a Brooklyn-based photographer focusing on male and gender-queer portrait photography. He shoots with both analogue and digital cameras, often mixing the two within a single project. A KALTBLUT exclusive.
‘In my portrait work, I often return to themes of gender, identity, and our perceived rules of attraction. As a gay male artist who is past middle age, working with a wide range of people has challenged my assumptions and preconceived notions. Ultimately, as a portrait photographer, it is my goal to show the beauty inherent in the subject’s truth.’ This essay was shot in September 2023 in Brooklyn, New York
