Some of his work features photographs of "pre- to barely pubescent boys in elaborately staged tableau settings, commonly showing multiple boys wearing traditional private school uniforms either engaged in school-life or recreation after school — but with often transgressive and erotic twists in their activities. Of great interest in these compositions is the fact that Goicolea himself portrays all of the boys in his photographs through the astute use of costumes, wigs, make-up, and post-production editing via Photoshop. Therefore, despite having numerous figures in them, Goicolea's photographs are actually very complex large-scale self-portraits, and are always done in a flawlessly realist manner.
Goicolea's images show a world where everybody looks like himself. Thus he complains about a society where people all look the same. In addition to photography, he also makes beautiful paintings and installations. http://www.anthonygoicolea.com
