Friends and Lovers

This book documents a series of relationships and breakups. Roffman set out to photograph Jeremy, a pint-sized, precocious young man and his boyfriend. He scheduled a shoot for Saturday and they broke up on Friday. That could have been the end of the story, but fortunately it was only the beginning. Jeremy soon met a new pint-sized young man named Chris with whom he began an intense relationship that Roffman photographed. After a tumultous year, they each moved on to new relationships. Chris approached Roffman about photographing him with his new boyfriend, Ben. Ben brought his friend Brad, and Brad brought his boyfriend Steve. And so unfolded the intimate and very real story documented in the book.
