Efrain’s reflection by Efrain |
Artist Bio
Efrain John Gonzalez is a photographic artist whose talents with camera and darkroom, have allowed him to document the unusual, the erotic, the unique, the wild and slightly crazy, from the world of body modifications to the underground universe of radical S&M, from sensual beauty of the flesh, to raw sexual desires.
An internationally published photographer who – for the past 35 years – has been traveling down dark and mysterious paths, trying to capture on film, real-life images that illustrate a story of people finding the path to their souls, gathering together to celebrate their uncommon lives.
His patience has created a rare historical archive of original work, candid photographs of underground clubs, transgender people, tattoo and body modification events, cities at night, and leather cultures.
