Night Hawks

His first book ROUGH STUFF (2004) earned Ohm Phanphiroj international acclaim. The mixture of voyeurism, provocation and sensual intimacy between him and his models had a huge and lasting impact on gay photographic identity. His follow-up work, RARE VIEWS (2006) also took a similar approach and was even more successful. With NIGHTHAWKS Phanphiroj presents himself anew as a sensitive and impartial artist, a portraitist of young self-discovery in a world moving at a tearing pace. Sexually charged scenes are interspersed with melancholy moments. Nothing is hidden here, which is exactly what the photographers fan love the captivating honesty of his images.
