Sam Morris "Pieces of a Boy: A Few Queer Things That Happened"

Sam Morris, a multidisciplinary artist from London, embarked on a remarkable journey that began with an illustrious career as a child actor. Unforeseen by many, Morris took a daring leap into the realm of adult artistry, unveiling his eponymous erotic platform in 2016. It was on this platform that his softcore boudoir photography emerged as a beacon of queer romanticism, captivating audiences and earning him widespread acclaim, including capturing the attention of international publications and esteemed fashion houses. In the year 2020, Morris unveiled a new facet of his creative expression with the release of his debut book, "Don’t Fall In Love, Sam."

With each page, he unveils profound and witty revelations, navigating through the emotional landscapes of estrangement, elite performing arts education, Berlin hedonism, and the rollercoaster of love and lovelessness.
