Fight Club: Gaz

What makes a man a real man? With his first photo book Fight Club UK based photographer Gaz proves that this question does not worry him at all —his models are doubtlessly everything a man wants to be. They have muscled bodies and they stare at you. Drops of sweat, special light contrasts and the language of the bodies, which doesn’t speak of compromise — these are the significant attributes of the art of Gaz. His hunks are incredibly impressive and it takes a man with guts to withstand eye contact with them. If you want to face them, be alerted as if you are about to taming a tiger: Be respectful but decisive; be focused, for these animals could attack you and tear you apart, if you do not watch them carefully. Gaz is a true master of his business; you can clearly recognize that he was influenced by movies with a dark picture language such as David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, which also inspired the book’s title. But among his idols are also photographers like Annie Leibovitz and Bruce Weber. With Fight Club he created a first class photo book. Athletic, rough and hunkylicious … let the fight begin!
