Overview

George Platt Lynes made his name photographing celebrities and fashion in the 1930s-50s. However, his passion and real talent lay elsewhere, photographing the naked male. These images, of lovers, dancers, film stars, sailors and hustlers, were sensuous and radically explicit for the time, and have only recently been fully rediscovered. This documentary passionately celebrates the man and his work.
