"Tom Bianchi is an American photographer and LGBTQ+ rights activist. He was born on November 27, 1945, in the Bronx, New York City. Bianchi is best known for his iconic photographs documenting the gay male experience, particularly during the 1970s and 1980s. Bianchi initially worked as a corporate attorney but left his law career in the late 1970s to pursue photography. He moved to San Francisco, where he became involved in the gay liberation movement and documented the vibrant gay community through his lens. Bianchi's photographs captured the joy, sensuality, and intimacy of gay life during a time when homosexuality was still highly stigmatized. In the 1980s, Bianchi's work took a poignant turn as the AIDS crisis unfolded. He documented the devastating impact of the epidemic, capturing the personal stories and struggles of those affected by the disease. Bianchi's photographs from this period, featured in his book ""Out of the Studio,"" provide a powerful and emotional depiction of the AIDS crisis. Throughout his career, Bianchi's work has been exhibited internationally, and he has published several books, including ""On the Couch,Fire Island Pines: Polaroids 1975-1983,"" and ""Tom Bianchi: Fire Island 79."" Apart from his photography, Tom Bianchi has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. He has worked with organizations such as amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) and has used his art to raise awareness and fight against discrimination. His photographs continue to be celebrated for their artistic and historical significance in documenting the LGBTQ+ experience. Measures 5.75 x 8.75 Printed circa 1990sVerso is blank.Mounted to archival quality paper.
