Summary of project: Taking its title from a 1980s Smiths’ song, this is a book of intimate photographs of the artist’s friends and lovers taken over a two year period. These previously unseen images form something of a diary cum queer family album as the willing subjects make themselves available for the camera’s gaze. The camera lingers – in bedrooms, bathrooms and often watery external environments – over the naked and semi-naked bodies of young men as they are caught in moments of self-admiration and introspection.
