Polaroid Encounters (19982009)

In 2005, veteran A&R music executive, Michael Alago, left music to pursue his other love: photography. He spent years photographing portraits, models, and musicians, but also intimately capturing candid Polaroid moments from the interweavings of his personal and professional lives. His first three bestselling male erotica booksRough Gods, Brutal Truth, and Beautiful Imperfectionswere published with German Bruno Gmnder, and thrilled extensively with his ongoing series of erotically charged images that are as powerful as they are seductive. With Polaroid Encounters, Alago profiles over two hundred posed and casual shots, showcasing some of his most engaging and revealing images to date.
