Another Man

Volume II, Issue II

Summer/Autumn 2025

“Photography … converts the whole world into a cemetery,” writes Susan Sontag in her introduction to Portraits of Life and Death, the only book of photographs published by Peter Hujar during his lifetime. “Photographers, connoisseurs of beauty, are also – wittingly or unwittingly – the recording-angels of death.”

The Summer/Autumn 2025 issue – like all issues of Another Man – is dedicated to those connoisseurs: the people who seduce us with their cameras, who wield them to create beauty, capture reality, and conjure fantasy.

A selection of Hujar’s images are printed in this magazine, coinciding with a breathtaking exhibition of his later work in London. Alongside these, contributions from a global community of world-leading artists explore masculinity and the male body in diverse and divergent ways.

One such artist is Martine Syms, who photographs Ethan Herisse, the breakout star of RaMell Ross’s Oscar-nominated drama Nickel Boys – itself an exploration of male friendship, trauma, memory, and the machinery of American racism – in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, Mao Ishikawa shares an exclusive portfolio of images from her series Red Flower, The Women of Okinawa, coinciding with a show of her work at Kyotographie. These photographs document a unique cultural convergence: a bar in 1970s Japan where Black American soldiers and local Okinawans came together, becoming friends, lovers, and a community.

Elsewhere, Malick Bodian photographs Kim Jones’s swan song collection for Dior, which bookends a truly groundbreaking tenure that used the house’s ateliers to elevate menswear to new heights; Chris Rhodes captures Matthieu Blazy’s final collection for Bottega before he heads to Chanel; and Gabriel Moses creates a portrait of Grace Wales Bonner’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection and latest collaboration with Adidas Originals, marking ten years of her brand and five years of partnership with the sportswear giant.

We also turn our focus to the underground and emergent designers of New York who, against a backdrop of political turmoil and economic hardship, are imagining new ways of dressing. Their work is captured by the artist Paul Mpagi Sepuya, himself a powerful creative force.

Our image-makers travelled beyond London and New York, too: Norbert Schoerner shoots a men’s fashion extravaganza in Paris; Hicham Benohoud creates a fashion story in Marrakech with an entirely local cast; acclaimed artist and photographer Yurie Nagishima produces an intimate portrait of her ballet community in Tokyo; while Kincső Bede turns her lens on fashion for the first time, shooting the Spring/Summer 2025 collections on her brother in Transylvania, Romania. All this alongside stories from a global community of talented artists that includes Kenta Cobayashi, José Pedro Cortes, Estelle Hania, Paul Kooiker, Julie Joubert, Sharna Osborne, and Chris Verene.

Our hope – as articulated by Gabriel Moses in his conversation with Grace Wales Bonner in this issue – is that these images endure far beyond the current fashion season. “I want my work to stand the test of time,” says Moses. “I’m an image-maker – campaigns come and go, but good imagery lasts forever.”

Or, as Vince Aletti writes in his obituary for Peter Hujar, republished in this issue: “Photographs as revealing and true as confessions, images whose inherent elegance never interferes with their insight.” A benchmark for image-making to which we can all forever aspire.
