Male Model. The World Behind the Camera

[Charles Hix]


A candid, behind-the-scenes look at the life of a American male model in the 1970s. Fashion writer Charles Hix interviews models, agents and photographers to gain a picture of an industry which is centred on the maintanence of a perfect look. He covers the glamour, the rejection, the occasional cross over with the pornographic industry, and the challenges faced by models of colour. Photographs by Albert Watson, Bruce Weber, Ken Haak, Les Goldberg, Barry McKinley, etc. complement the text.
