Show Notes
This week on BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! we speak with Tyler Udall - the first ever BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! photographer and a regular voice on the podcast.
Recorded during one of our MEETS at our BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café London, this episode traces Tyler’s path through a series of worlds that don’t often get connected. He began as a ballet dancer in New York, before moving through the fashion world, including as fashion editor of Dazed & Confused and AnOther magazines, before stepping away from the industry to build a photographic practice rooted in intimacy and lived experience.
Tyler is known for work that resists spectacle. His photographs focus on queer bodies as presence rather than performance, shaped by memory, vulnerability, and the politics of being seen. His undeniably personal and emotionally compelling photographs are shaped by the familiarity he has with his subjects, most of whom are friends and past lovers.
In this conversation, Tyler speaks candidly about being diagnosed HIV positive in the late 2000s, and how photography helped him process this. Brought to you by BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! boysboysboys.org @boysfineart @boysgallerycafelondon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
