Christopher Makos was born in Massachusetts in 1948. He spent his boyhood in California and then moved to Paris to study architecture and, eventually, to apprentice with artist, Man Ray. Since 1966 he has worked at developing a unique style of boldly graphic photo—journalism. In WHITE TRASH, Makos displays his seeming dis-regard for human and social values, describing a strange (and often sordid) terrain, inhabited by the prophets of an ambisexual generation tolling a future of catatonia. Makos himself has said, regarding the nature of his art, that “the camera is a knife. And photography is an act of violence.”
