Cadinot présente drague | Plus Four Note Cards

A narrative series of photographs by Jean-Dan­iel Cad­i­­­not (1944-2008), the most original gay porn au­teur of the 1970s-1990s in France. The images portray the adventures of a Black Am­erican college student as he discovers Paris and its homoerotic possibilities, mixing images of the central character at celebrated Paris tourist sites with inti­mate photos of his hookups from cruising the streets.

In one series, a White artist picks up the student and takes him to his studio to pose nude for a painting, followed by a session of love­making. The entire publication is pre­sen­ted as if it were a film, "réalisé par Jean-Daniel Cadinot" with "scénario et dialogues de David Gary." The album thus presages Cadinot's move into actual porn film production the following year.
