SHADES OF LATINO BY RICARDO MUNIZ

Photographer Ricardo Muñiz offers to OhLaLa readers a tribute to multi racial beauty of Latino men. This portrait series was shot along the wall behind Ricardo's Old Law Tenement apartment building in New York. It highlights the beauty of all that is Latino: the culture, the colors, the art, gay and ethnic pride and, especially, the diversity of Latino beauty and creativity.

On the first picture Michael MacNeal, Italian and multi-racial, below, Clarence Haynes Panamanian and Rafael Angel Ortiz, Panamanian/Jamaican.

Unfortunately we can't give you more details on how to meet Ricardo's models but you can visit Boiish for more information on what the boys are wearing. Boiish Clothing was created by a legally-married, Latino gay couple from Queens, NY, Steve and Santos who have met in 1992. To enjoy the rest of the photos click here or on the images below.

On a more personal note we wish a Felíz Cumpleaño to Steven featuring in the photoshoot you just turned 21 ;-)

Publishing this series right before Xmas and the day after Steven's 21st birthday is a nice gift for all of us involved. Thanks, Steph and Alek. Wishing you and Ohlala readers a blessed and joyous holiday season.
