Four (4) Photographs from Rick Castro's S/M Blvd: Street Hustler Series, 1993.
Gelatin silver prints on RC paper.

A set of four (4) photographs from the S/M Blvd: Street Hustler series by the LA filmmaker and photographer Rick Castro. Cruising along Santa Monica Boulevard in the 1980s, Castro would invite male hustlers to model for him in impromptu photo sessions. On occasion, he would take these men to his personal studio, recording their stories through short, informal films on VHS. This project would eventually culminate in his collaboration with Bruce La Bruce on the famous 1996 film, Hustler White, featuring Tony Ward and LaBruce as two men navigating the erotic opportunities and dangers of Hollywood’s cruising scene.

Each: 10 x 8 in. (25.4 x 20.3 cm.)
