With an erotic softness and quiet confidence, the young, fully-nude subjects in I Heart Boy exhibit a willingness to be celebrated by all for their beauty and openness. Posing in the intimacy of their own homes, often in studio apartments in Manhattan’s East Village and Lower East Side, and Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn, lanky, hairless bodies are posed sensually against the minimalist backgrounds of naturally lit rooms with sparse furnishings.
Review
“Her photos are a provocative—and, in a world full of Terry Richardson types, much-needed—portrayal of male sexuality.”
Elle
“While these images are not truly erotic, they aren't sterile or overly stylized. Their appeal is sensual and soft—a weirdly incongruous beauty that isn't masculine in the traditional sense, but unquestionably male.”
New York Press
“I <3 Boy, photographer J. Yatrofsky — the J. is for Jessica, surprisingly — celebrates the androgynous beauty of slim, mostly nude dudes shot with minimalist moxie in New York apartments.”
