Hurles  whose own history  recounted in this book  resonates with this same kind of gutter intensity as the images he created  began documenting drifters  grifters  and hustlers  men from Americas hard underbelly  in the 1970s  through his legendary company Old Reliable. Hurles style was unmistakable  downplaying technical polish in favor of the unvarnished emotional truth of his muscular  tattooed subjects. His ability to communicate with his models helped him elicit erotic presentations that no other photographer of his era could capture consistently. Outcast tells two fascinating stories  that of a determined gay artist who pioneered the dark mirror image of the \"tasteful \" artistic male nude; and a mosaic portrait of backstreet America via a group of anonymous young men who drifted into his life and before his camera  to briefly entertain and excite gay men before vanishing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932274655285,"sku":"ByrdShop_1931160716","price":720.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931160711.jpg?v=1794222316","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/outcast-9781931160711","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
