// About
BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! is a programme by The Little Black Gallery started in 2018, curated by co-founder Ghislain Pascal, to promote queer and gay fine art photography.
It now represents more than 74 photographers from 35 countries - including China, India, Iran, Poland, and Russia where gay rights are repressed and queer lives under constant threat.
BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! includes exhibitions, books, bi-annual magazine, zines, photography courses, portfolio reviews, and the online art platform.
Ghislain Pascal was a celebrity agent and publicist for many years – including as agent to the legendary photographer Bob Carlos Clarke. Following the death of Carlos Clarke in 2006 he co-founded The Little Black Gallery - one of London's leading photography galleries - with Tamara Beckwith Veroni in 2008. He is an avid collector of photography which are housed in a permanent exhibition space at his home in France. He is the Editor of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! books and magazines.
The Little Black Gallery is a photography gallery, publisher, and art consultancy – specialising in contemporary photography.
The Little Black Gallery was originally set up by Tamara Beckwith Veroni, Lindsey Carlos Clarke and Ghislain Pascal in 2008, with a gallery space in Chelsea, London for ten years. Today the business, now co-owned by Ghislain Pascal and Tamara Beckwith Veroni, exists without a permanent space, putting on exhibitions worldwide at galleries, museums, art-fairs, and pop-ups; publishes books and magazines; and acts as an art consultant.
