Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Sunil Gupta
While studying at the New School, New York, under the legendary Lisette Model,
Sunil Gupta would spend his weekends cruising on Christopher Street with his
camera. It was the heady days after Stonewall and before AIDS when Gupta and his
peers were young and busy creating a gay public space that hadn’t been seen
before.
“I came to photography in the early 1970s. What was initially just a hobby quickly
found a purpose in the fledgling gay liberation movement, documenting gay rights
marches as well as the burgeoning gay scene. In retrospect these pictures have
become both nostalgic and iconic for a very important moment in my personal history.”
