Black Masq is a photographer b. in Oklahoma City. His work uses the nude to explore isolation and the search for authenticity as a queer person:
“The ability to live and express authentically is often remote for queer people; we have to censor or suppress the expression of our identities to maintain social or familial networks or career opportunities. My work tries to reclaim a sense of agency through queer eroticism and self portraiture, and also in the methods used to create the images — where not only the subject but also the photographer become vulnerable in the service of creating an authentic image of the queer self. The portraits happen in a space where we are able to present ourselves in ways discouraged in our day to day — exposed, uninhibited — where we are most powerful.”
