In addition to photographing several of its parties, he has hosted several blowouts on his home turf in Denver.Īdditionally, his work has been featured in Butt magazine as well as a number of galleries coast-to-coast. Otterj has worked extensively with the queer party producer Honcho, whose underground queer sex-positive aesthetic fits well with Otterj’s vision. The men in his photographs are unabashed exhibitionists looking for a place to fit into a gay culture that has increasingly turned its back on a sexually aware world where leather and cruising are a form of liberation. As his name suggests, Otterj draws his greatest inspiration from the slender, hairy, bearded, and often tattooed gay male subculture known as otters.
Otterj is a provocative American photographer whose work documents his day-to-day antics.
