Mark Beehre is a photographer living and working in Wellington. His
recently-completed Men Alone — Men
Together is a major project combining
documentary photography and oral history in documenting the lives of 45 gay men
and recounting how their journeys have, for the moment, led them towards or
away from relationship with another. Men
Alone — Men Together reflects the immense diversity of the gay world. These
men are our workmates and neighbours. They are gardeners and jewellers, teachers
and builders, priests and fathers, each with a story to tell of remarkable
determination and courage. Men Alone — Men
Together is available from the publisher and from bookshops around the country.
Mark's current exhibition, Men Undressed — an exploration of the naked portrait, is being shown at the Centre for Contemporary Photography in Melbourne, from 13 April to 27 May 2012. (Obviously, these images contain nudity. Don't enter the site if this upsets you.)
Mark has an ongoing interest in documenting the lives of gay men. He has extensive experience in environmental portraiture and is available for commissioned work including civil unions and weddings.
