Michael Alago has worked in the music industry for nearly two decades as producer and talent scout. Known and respected by most of the major labels for his expertise in a variety of musical genres, Alago discovered Metallica and worked with a diverse group of artists that includes Michael Feinstein, Johnny Rotten, White Zombie and Nina Simone. "Working with the incomparable Nina was my finest hour," says Michael, speaking of their work together on the critically acclaimed album "A Single Woman," the singer's last recording.
Alago left the music business in the summer of 2002 to concentrate on another life-long passion—photography. Working initially with a Polaroid camera, Michael began a series of stark male portraits that is still ongoing. Many of the images on this site are reproduced from the Polaroid's from this early period of work.
This collection of hustlers, friends, models and bodybuilders indeed boast the muscularity, tattoos, and attitude that define this particular male subset, but the images also bear Alago's distinctive stamp of irreverent heat. Michael has exhibited in New York and Paris and continues to photograph rough gods wherever he may find them.
