Go-Go Boys Keep Going, and Going...

If you enjoyed the Timothy Greenfield-Sanders 'Go-Go Boy' feature I posted for you earlier in the week, you may want to head over to Rod 2.0. He's got a selection of a few more from the upcoming issue of Flaunt.

Exclusive: Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' Flaunts the Go-Go Boys

Shawn from Upstairs at Risque, Philadelphia.

In his intimate portrait style, photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders has photographed Spring 2007 fashions on go-go boys from bars and clubs in Manhattan, New Jersey, and Philadelphia for the upcoming issue of Flaunt magazine. Thirteen go-go boys were photographed in Timothy's East Village studio over the course of 6 hours in one day.

Greenfield-Sanders and his producer Chad Thompson, who cast the project, have allowed me to share the two images above from Flaunt with Towleroad, as well as the EXCLUSIVE outtake which began this post, and the following images which you can only find here. Click photos to enlarge. No republishing without the photographer's permission - thank you.

Said Greenfield-Sanders: "When Flaunt asked me to photograph go-go boys (or male exotic dancers as some prefer) wearing spring fashions, I wasn’t sure it was for me. I had already photographed America’s top porn stars for my book XXX: 30 Porn-Start Portraits and in a separate effort, the fashion world elite for Look: Portraits Backstage at Olympus Fashion Week. Would shooting go-go boys in designer clothes really be worthwhile? But, the guys I photographed for this feature surprised me. Most dance for men. A few only perform for women. They all have their own stories. They are famous - but their fame exists in smaller circles outside the mainstream. Just like those who have achieved widespread notoriety, these young men are passionate, determined, narcissistic and intelligent in their own way. In the end, the go-go dancers proved to be fantastic models. I hope you find their portraits on these pages intriguing."

Said Thompson: "Originally, the shoot was to feature NYC's top fashion industry executives photographed in Spring 2007 fashions. But because of scheduling difficulties, Flaunt suggested go-go boys instead."

Here's a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot.

As Greenfield-Sanders noted, 'Fashions on go-go boys' is a marriage of Timothy's two most recent projects, which are XXX: 30 Porn-Start Portraits - a book, HBO documentary and traveling exhibition of portraits of the adult film industry's top porn stars, and Look: Portraits Backstage at Olympus Fashion Week - a book documenting the designers, models, editors, celebrities and other fashion insiders who attend NY Fashion Week. Both are highly recommended.

Thanks so much to Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Chad Thompson for giving Towleroad readers a look at this latest project!

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders Takes a Look at Fashion Week

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders pays homage to the personalities that populate New York's Fashion Week each season in Look: Portraits Backstage at Olympus Fashion Week, which (for those of you in New York) he'll be signing at Barnes & Noble on 6th avenue in Chelsea this Friday evening from 7-8pm. On hand to meet and greet will be Richie Rich & Traver Rains from Heatherette (who contributed an essay to the book) along with Amanda Lepore (above right, who contributed her curvaceous bod).

Others featured in the tome, which is Greenfield-Sanders' first since the porn star portraits of XXX, are Anna Wintour, Rufus Wainwright, Rosario Dawson, Anne Hathaway, Zac Posen, Hamish Bowles, and Carolina Herrera with essays from Alec Baldwin, Tinsley Mortimer, Zac Posen, Fern Mallis, Martha Nelson, Patrick McDonald, and Simon Dumenco

A portion of proceeds from the book sales will go to the Entertainment Industry Foundation's National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance.

Below, you'll find a clip from Italian TV of Greenfield-Sanders discussing a recent exhibition of his portraits. (NSFW)

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' XXX Stops Texans in their Tracks

You may be aware of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' photo book Thinking XXX which features dual portraits of clothed and naked porn stars. The book was also the subject of an HBO film and traveling exhibit. Greenfield-Sanders was present as the exhibit opened in Houston  at the Devin Borden Hiram Butler Gallery this week as he's photographing Houstonians with their dogs.

Towleroad received an amusing photo of some visitors to the exhibit checking out the portrait of well-endowed Lucas Entertainment actor Chad Hunt. Link to the NSFW version after the jump.
