The Story - NYC, 1983 - Robert Mapplethorpe approached Alfredo Santiago, then President of The Agency Models Incorporated to photograph his models in hopes of breaking into the fashion photography industry. Mr. Santiago told him "no way." Robert's persistent attitude finally convinced Mr. Santiago to allow him to photograph his models. The results were artistic and unlike any other fashion photography ever created. An exhibit of the photographs was held on May 3, 1983 at Hardison Fine Arts Gallery in NYC. Today, Mr. Santiago lives in San Diego and had these works (tucked under his bed) for 30 years. He would like to share them with you.
