who gilles larrain is

Gilles Larrain was a French-American photographer who believed that photography is a way to "capture the landscape of the soul of a person". By taking a unique approach to photography, which included creating his own lighting, managing the entire darkroom process, and always having subjects come to his personal studio space, Larrain had created acclaimed pieces of art since 1969. In 1973, Larrain published the highly successful photographic book, Idols, which presented portraits of transvestites.
