Toxicboy aka Mikel from Montreal, is a photographer as stunningly gorgeous as many of his models, so his “self-centred self portraits” are entirely justified, for this viewer at least. He enhances some of his pictures with subtle and artful digital manipulation, as with the photo above showing three incarnations of the same model, Matt. The androgynous pictures in his “Maiden to Man” series merge gender in a way that few photographers—gay or straight—seem willing to explore, despite the possibilities that Photoshop suggests. The possibilities suggested by three identical boys in the same bed is something we can only dream about.
