James Bidgood, right, a photographer and filmmaker, and Parker Kit Hill, a dancer, performer and model, during a discussion of "camp" in New York, April 29, 2019. Bidgood, who elevated erotic gay photography to an art in the 1960s and ’70s with his carefully staged phantasmagoric pictures, and who was the anonymous director behind “Pink Narcissus,” a gay film released in 1971 that became something of a cult classic, died on Jan. 31, 2022, in Manhattan. He was 88. Vincent Tullo/The New York Times
