Still feeling Pride. Photos from 'Peter Berlin: Icon, Artist, Photosexual,' published by @damiani_books⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Peter Berlin was a self-created icon. With his trademark pageboy haircut and his skin-tight costumes that put every detail of his anatomy on display (designed and tailored by Berlin himself to accentuate his already naturally defined physique), he became a gay sex symbol and a walking work of art.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Cruising was his career, and with a background in photography, Berlin began taking thousands of erotic self-portraits in the parks, train stations and streets of Berlin, Rome, Paris, New York and San Francisco, where he settled in the early 1970s. As Berlin put it, “One day I looked at a camera and said, ‘I have found my dream lover.’”⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Berlin’s ’70s and ’80s self-portrait photography graced the covers of gay magazines, defining a look and a reimagined masculinity in a changing gay male culture. Spotlighting Berlin’s significant body of work, 'Peter Berlin: Icon, Artist, Photosexual' pays tribute to the man who revolutionized the landscape of gay male eroticism and became an international sensation. The book is designed by @omarsosabartolome Creative Director of @apartamentomagazine and is edited by @michaeljbullock writer and publisher of @buttmagazine @pinupmagazine @manfantastic and @the_gentlewoman magazines.

‘Peter Berlin: Icon, Artist, Photosexual’ is the first major monograph on the artist and gay icon whose astonishing body was his medium. In his Introduction, Berlin (aka Armin Baron von Hoyningen-Huene) writes, "From the early days of puberty I was intrigued by the sexiness of boys and since I was one I was excited by my own image. At the beginning, I felt surprised and intimidated by this self-love so I kept it a secret but my passion for revealing clothes, especially tight-fitting pants, seemed to heighten my excitement. Being desired for sex and the lustful look of men in public while cruising became an obsession.… I did what girls and boys all over the planet do today by the millions, now with their smartphones, turning the lens on themselves to produce self-portraits, which are now called ‘selfies.’ This is the most natural thing for them to do. Though it still surprises me, what began for me in the late 1960s—the nudity, the eros, the raw sexuality—is still considered taboo today. Back then, my young mind told me to freeze my image on film, first for my own pleasure and later (at the urging of friends) to share with the world. It was that drive to show myself off that produced two films, Nights in Black Leather and That Boy, whose main character required a name. As a result, almost half a century ago, PETER BERLIN was born and lives on through these images."
