Sexuality has been a consistent theme in Bianchi’s work since Out of the Studio was published in 1991. Twenty books later, Bianchi’s once “pornographic” images have transformed what’s acceptable in homoerotic photography. When Bianchi first attempted to get his Fire Island book published, in the late ‘70s, he was told the book was “too queer” and it wouldn’t have a chance to recoup production costs. Today, Bianchi is one of the most published visual artists and writers in the world.
