Fab Magazine - Bring it on!

The latest edition of Fab Toronto's Gay Magazine gets the reader's ready for Pride.


If the above pictures form last year's parade are any indication of whats to come, I wouldn't miss it, surfice to say they wont need much motivation to to get the boys out.

No this is not an after party photo, it is in fact some of the talented work from Photographer Joe Oppedisano, which is featured in this issue and is worth a read.

"Gay fantasy” is what Joe Oppedisano calls his work. In the crowded field of male nude photography, Oppedisano’s shots stand out with their potent sexuality – an unapologetic ally- raw masculinity conveyed with rich colours and stark lighting. A fixture in European gay magazines, the New Yorker is finally becoming a name in North America.

The photographer gravitates towards “guys who are beefier and sexier” rather than the fashion world’s preference for “skinny and interesting” models. “I grew up playing football and baseball and running track,” he says.

“I was always into athletic guys.” In the first collection of his photos, the aptly-titled new book Testosterone, Oppedisano takes his massive models into a world that’s “dark and dank and a little spooky. You turn a corner and see this big tattooed man.

Is he going to fuck you or kick the shit out of you? There’s that question of should I go for it?”
