Gay art julius

Having been the official photographer for La Troya, one of the world's longest running LGBT events, has been one of the most liberating and enriching experiences of my creative carreer. The assignment allowed me to set aside any prejudices I may have had and showed me what living in harmony with one another could be like. I am eternally grateful to the La Troya family.

We took this shot while waiting to acquire access to the venue.

The original negative has a gray see through curtain for a background and trough it you can observe the hotel's gym equipment a
