Spotlight - Alfred J. Barrera

Every generation is known to speak with various forms of art. Through music, literature, visual art, photography, fashion, and even architecture we leave imprints of dreams, loves, anger, frustration and everything else we idealized and experienced.

Today we spotlight photographer and artists model 'Alfred J. Barrera' and his signature style which has a sexual, anti-pop, modern-but old skool sensibility. Of course it's up to YOU to decide for yourself.

1.QueerTrash.com-Everyone's art and photography tells some sort of story (intentional or not)....what does yours say?
Alfred-What ever the viewer gets out of it. I let the viewers imagination come up with what my art says. Just labeling something and saying "this means this" doesn't make it versitile.

2.QT-Where do you pull inspiration from?
Alfred-My imagination. I have a really trippy imagination, and I am always imagining things- which I am really starting to feel I have a problem. Portishead and Goldfrapp make me imagine things like crazy when I listen to them.

3. QT- If you could resurrect 2 dead historical figures, celebrities, or notorious icons from the past to photograph who would it be?
Alfred-Gia Carangi, and Sharon Tate.

4. QT-Everyone has a million songs they love...what are 5 essentials you currently can't live without?
Alfred-Honestly, I am over everything on my ipod, I find myself looking like a crack head on the subway just clicking "next" on my IPOD when its on shuffle.

5. QT-What do you feel is the sexiest part of the human body?
Alfred-On guys, I think the sexiest part is there chest. Nothing drives me more crazy than having a big chest I can grab on to. :)

6. QT-Lastly, what are you working on at the moment and where can people find more information about you and your projects at?
Alfred-I am looking into hooking up with Richie Rich's new line- doing some photography for him, etc. His manager messaged me and told me how they liked my work, and they are eager to work with me. :).
