I wanted to document this process of liberation,” Arrevad told BuzzFeed News of his <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.magnusarrevad.com\/\">Boy Story<\/a><\/i> photo series. The project, and soon-to-be book, is a true “study of how we can create ourselves.” The images, all shot on black and white film, were captured in Denmark, England, Germany, and other European cities. <\/p>\n<p>“The book features performers from eighteen countries, living all around the world, in the places you’d probably least expect, but with a sense of community and mutual respect unlike anything I’ve ever known before,” notes the photographer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"buzz_superlist_item buzz_superlist_item_text  buzz_superlist_item_wide   \"
