Texts by Hugh Nini & Neal Treadwell. With an essay by Laura Leonelli<\/em><\/p>\n

Loving. Una storia fotografica<\/em>, was published in 2020 at the height of the pandemic. Despite that, the first US printing sold out in six weeks, and the response to the book \u2013 available in five languages \u2013 was overwhelming and emotional. Five years and multiple printings later, Loving remains a best-seller. For Loving, the collectors drew from two thousand photographs; now, in 2025, more than twenty-five years after they purchased their first picture, the collection has four thousand images. It seems logical then \u2013 even necessary \u2013 to publish a new volume with all new photographs from those acquired since 2019.<\/p>\n

Loving II<\/em> continues with more stunning vintage vernacular photographs of romantic male couples, with all the emotional power of the first book in intact. This new selection continues the story of the unadulterated joy \u2013 longed for by all of us and recognisable to anyone \u2013 of being in love.<\/p>\n

As with the first Loving<\/em>, these photographs and what they convey, whether directly in an embrace or more subtly in a furtive touch, move \u2013 in fact change \u2013 those who encounter them. Indeed, anyone who has ever loved will identify with the elation \u2013 and peace \u2013 that these couples share. The collecting criteria have not changed: starting from the earliest years of photography and continuing through the 1950s, the Nini-Treadwell archive includes daguerreotypes, silver gelatin prints, tintypes, ambrotypes, snapshots, and many more \u2013 a historical capsule of a century of photographic technique. The subjects come from all walks of life: soldiers, farmers, students, young and old, poor and affluent.<\/p>\n

Their creation happened between loving couples from all around the world. Each photo is the story of two told in an instant.<\/p>\n
