Michael Alago Booksigning March 19th
New Yorker Michael Alago
left the music business in the summer of 2003 to concentrate on another lifelong passion—photography.
Working initially with a Polaroid camera, Michael embarked on a series of stark male portraits—a series that continues to this day.
While these images of friends, models and bodybuilders feature the muscular physique, tattoos, and attitude that define this particular male subset, they also bear Alago’s distinctive stamp of irreverent heat. A collection of his work entitled Rough Gods was published in 2005.
His new book coffee-table book, Brutal Truth: Muscular, Tough Machos , just came out!
