I’m coming out.
✖️
Most of you probably only know my “pretty” celebrity portraits and fashion pictures...but anyone that knows me knows that’s only part of the story.
✖️
I’ve always loved all things dark and disturbing. Way before I knew about the world of fashion I was reading Fangoria magazine and binge watching whatever horror VHS tapes I could get my hands on in rural Maine. The darker and creepier the better. From Cronenberg to Carpenter and Craven, Deodato, Raimi and Hooper....that’s where my aesthetic was born. I ended up in fashion but my heart has always been in horror.
✖️
Fashion has been good to me - but as a storyteller and a filmmaker I feel a bit like I’ve been living in the closet. Anyone who’s been in the closet knows it’s not such a great feeling.
✖️
That’s why I started ALL THE DEAD BOYS. As a way to explore the uncomfortable place where the beautiful meets the horrific. A place to tell stories about confrontation - about loneliness and connection and the horrific reality of infection and disease. Stories that leave you unsure if you should be turned on or creeped out. Or both.
✖️
Instagram has already deleted me once - but all_the_dead_boys is back. If you like more than just a beautiful picture of a famous face .... if you’re interested in stories that are sexy and disturbing and not at all like my “pretty pictures”... follow me at all_the_dead_boys
✖️
It wont be  for everybody....but I’ll be giving it 100% - and it will be coming from a place of pure creative expression. I promise you that.
