Press Details:

Accompanying his previous work and subsequent zine Girls, photographer Jesse Pollock is releasing the counterpart to this series with Guys. The combined set of photographs center around portraits of both men and women rarely posed and often in various states of candor. In conjunction with the zine release, the show will center around photographs selected from that series with emphasis on portraiture. In addition, the previously out of print Girls zine has been re-issued and will be for sale at the opening so that the complete set can be made available.
