Howard Roffman:
The Boys of Bel Ami


Roffman is fully committed to the representation of
young men and their lives in his work. Like no other he manages to capture images of his boys, their passions and their search for tenderness behind the pose. Sensitively and respectfully he documents the awakening sexuality of young men. His images
depict ethereal beauty and candid authenticity. Roffman’s personal view on the Boys of Bel Ami reveals a celebration of the natural erotic aura of his young subjects, presented in up-close and personal photo essays.

boys of George Duroy are known to nearly every gay men the world over.
