A collaborative project by Pieter Hugo and the fashion label Hood by Air. In early 2016, Pieter Hugo travelled to Jamaica to shoot a series of provocative portraits on male porn stars and Gully Queens, a vilified gay community in Kingston who live in a gully (or drain) beneath the city, wearing seminal pieces of the Hood by Air archive. The book includes an in-conversation essay between Hugo and Carlos Nazario, collaborator on the project and a long time collaborator and friend of Hood by Air’s founder Shayne Oliver. They discuss the challenges they faced photographing such sexually ambiguous characters in a country where homosexuality is still illegal. PH & HBA is published in an edition of only 500 copies.
