| Photographer Herb Klein’s new book Lost Gay South Africa |
The irrepressible
Herb Klein is a pioneering male physique photographer from Zimbabwe who, after
moving to South Africa in the 1970s, shot the first full-colour nude gay
magazine on the continent.
I discovered Klein’s work alongside his
contemporaries Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber in David Leddick’s great 1998
compendium The Male Nude, then later on DVD when screening his gay adult films Here Comes Santa and Tango City, which he directed under his
porn-director name, Flash Conway.
No question, the man has an eye an eye for
talent and readers will enjoy his photos of beautiful men in his newly-published
photo-filled book Lost Gay South Africa. I recently sat down with Klein
for a candid Q&A.
