Tracing 5 decades of Sunil Gupta’s pioneering photography, this book explores themes of love, queer activism and community through over 100 intimate images and incisive essays.

Sunil Gupta is among the most highly regarded photographers of our time. Born in New Delhi, India in 1953 and now living in London, his pioneering contribution to art and photography, championing the queer community and queer rights, is recognised as exceptional. The inventiveness and exhilarating breadth of his work, from street photography to staged portraits, offers a compelling vision in which art and life are inseparable. His enduring belief in the freedom to live joyful lives and to celebrate identity and sexuality shines through every image.
