“I’ve been photographing a young actor named Alex Pettyfer,” Greg Gorman said recently. “We have a photographic relationship that’s spontaneous and connected, in which we provoke, push and disturb each other into creating strong images. We play off each other in a symbiotic relationship that allows great work to develop. And that’s why I call Alex a muse of mine, and why I wanted to close the book on those pictures, which showcase some of my most recent work.”
In Their Youth, is the title of this newly-published book featuring over 200 of the California-based photographer’s previously unpublished portraits from the last three decades, opening with 7 photos of Leonardo Di Caprio taken between 1993 and 1997, and closing with these portraits of Alex Pettyfer.

Pettyfer should be “Pretty-fer.” He’s a beautiful young man and was a gorgeous teenager. He’s done some seriously lame acting, but he’s so pretty the sound can be turned off.
