Everything at Once
A peek behind the scenes at the homoerotic photography zine Kink, which has cultivated an intimate style employing non-professional models.
Director: Alberto Fuguet
Overview
Alberto Fuguet’s documentary peaks behind the scenes at the homoerotic photography zine Kink, which has cultivated an intimate style employing non-professional models. Long-term couple Paco and Manolo chose the title of their zine without fully realising all of its ramifications. But through it they have created their own style of erotic male photography. The two first met over 30 years ago. As independent producers, they have the luxury of being able to indulge their fantasies with beautiful men, but in a way that is tasteful, sexy and authentic.
Fuguet introduces us to some of the publication’s many fans, who are keen to participate in its lyrical vision of masculine beauty by posing naked for it. Whether it’s singles or couples, these photoshoots are undertaken in the spirit of collaboration. And in a world awash with images, Kink stands apart through its refreshing portrayal of private passions and celebration of intimacy.
