Do you know the name, Robert Trachtenberg? Maybe not but I know you’ve seen his photographs in Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Esquire, the New York Times Magazine, People, and Vanity Fair. He’s shot the comic duo Key & Peele, sex symbols Scott Eastwood & Kelan Lutz & sexpot Tracy Morgan, and Will Arnett in fishnets for the cover. From leading men to comedians, ballet dancers to quarterbacks, war veterans to Broadway veterans, Red-Blooded American Male features more than 100 images that bust the ideal of the typical American male from from trans fitness model Aiden Dowling to Judd Apatow pregnant in a negligee.

And as Mel Brooks says,

“Trachtenberg’s taste in subject matter is impeccable. If I’m in it —you know it’s good.”

You can follow Robert on Instagram and get your copy of Red-Blooded American Male here.

"This was for Rolling Stone's Hot issue. It seemed absurd to do anything where we tried to make Rudd look deliberately 'hot.' His 'hotness' comes effortlessly. He agreed we should mock the whole notion of 'hot.' He agree to get in the bed. He agree the boxers were getting in the way and dropped them. Months later, he sent me a nice note saying friends had seen the photo on the walls of gay bars across America and he couldn't be more proud."
