4 the boyz

A series exploring masculinity and brotherhood through intimate portraiture — bodies, gestures and the spaces between.

Year: 2025
Medium: Digital photography
Format: Series of 24
Location: Paris & Berlin

"4 the boyz" is a long-term study of intimacy between men — friends, brothers, lovers — and the choreography of how bodies meet when no one is watching.

Shot over a year between studios and shared apartments, the project resists the iconography of "tough" masculinity. Instead it lingers on small acts of care: a hand resting on a shoulder, the weight of one body trusting another, the calm after a fight.

Selected images were exhibited at 229 lab in October 2025 and will be published as a hardcover monograph in early 2026.
