Over the last ten years, Manhattan-based photographer Michael Alago has developed his own unique brand of Rough Gods photography. Instantly recognisable, Alago’s images pack a powerful, muscular, tattooed punch.
Brutal Truth, Alago’s new 260-page book of photographs – the follow-up to his 2005 sold-out book Rough Gods – is out now and as you can see from these images, his subjects are the kind of “hold-me-down-and-fuck-me” roughnecks we all dream about! Breathtakingly virile and often photographed in decayed urban settings, the men of Brutal Truth radiate raw, in-your-face, masculinity.
