About The Shy Guy
Founded in 2020 by photographer Benot Bthume and illustrator Claire Detallante, THE SHY GUY is an annual fanzine about naked men and Eros. Each A4 issue is filled with Bthumes photographs of boy-next-door types, shot with an intimacy that swaps bravado for vulnerability and offers a softer, more honest take on masculinity. Giving the zine its look is Detallantes Eroscope, a cast of twelve line-drawn silhouettes, one for each sign of the zodiac, which turns every issue into a sensual horoscope. The characters have since been shown at RAUCH OFFSPACE in Krefeld (2022) and spun off into a limited-edition clothing line.
