The Boys at the Circus series isn't exactly the type of thing one would see on a daily basis. This is an adults only circus where muscular men fly through fiery hoops and use whips to tame themselves instead of lions.
Photographer Errikos Andreou and stylist AL GIGA teamed up to create these naughty boys at the circus where the models range from being nude ringleaders to lions with leather in their mouths. Most of the images are in black and white, as if these photos were taken from an underground circus in the late 1800s.
If a circus of these sorts does exist somewhere on earth, The Boys at the Circus is probably not the kind of place you want to bring your kid for their birthday. Unless they're of age of course!
