Now serving Lactose by Lepore, delivered by Marcos the Milkman.Creative producer and photographer Gregory Farrell brought together the legendary Amanda Lepore and the certified heartthrob Marcos Pedraza for a shoot like no other."Marcos told me that he wanted to be photographed with Amanda Lepore," Farrell tells Out. "While brainstorming, I kept envisioning Marcos as a milkman. It was becoming comical; I had no idea why I kept seeing him as a milkman. We shoot often, and we tend to push the limits, but this was our craziest photo shoot yet."Farrell adds, "It became clear as day as I was running in the park: Amanda Lepore holding her own special milk. I started to see the intimate relationship between Amanda Lepore and 'Marcos the Milkman' unfold."In this photo shoot feature, Out interviews Farrell, Amanda Lepore, and Marcos Pedraza a.k.a. @MarcosFromThe305 on social media about the different perspectives and campy vision that brought "Lactose by Lepore" to life.Marcos Pedraza: "'Lactose by Lepore' is a metaphor for something much bigger: The aura of Amanda Lepore. She is a magical woman, and anyone who meets her can attest to that. There is nobody quite like Amanda Lepore. If it was truly possible to bottle up Amanda's presence I know the world would demand it in a heartbeat. As 'Marcos the Milkman,' it is my responsibility to deliver it to the people."Gregory Farrell: "I have always been attracted to juxtapositions in artwork, such as making things shocking yet remaining tasteful. Amanda's special milk being her own breastmilk as a trans woman is a powerful, yet playful, statement to what is going on in the world right now. It invites conversations to be held in a camp way. If it was actually possible to bottle Amanda's aura, the world would become beyond addicted."Lepore tells Out that working with Farrell in this photo shoot was "fun and effortless."Gregory Farrell: "From body image to pushing boundaries in the art world, there isn't a single thing that Amanda Lepore hasn't accomplished. That's why she's such an icon. To this day, the MAC Cosmetics campaign where she covers herself in pink lipstick plays on rotation in my head. She is the O.G. Doll. Amanda Lepore fought for her presence to be respected in all rooms, and did it with a smile on her face. She is one of the nicest people I've ever worked with, and she is a mother to many in her community. Amanda Lepore is forever that girl."Besides this shoot, Lepore and Pedraza both starred in Chris Klimovski's short film Attagirl! released earlier this year.Marcos Pedraza: "Working with Amanda is always a great time. She has such a calm energy about her It's very welcoming, and it's not something you come across too often in this industry. It's very inspiring to observe how she conducts herself on set. She's a true icon, and you can see that distinctively when she's on set. I hope I work with Amanda Lepore many more times in the future."Born and raised in New Jersey, Farrell eventually bounced from New York City to Los Angeles, and now resides in Miami. The 30-year-old creative producer specializes in brand identity, but is a jack-of-all-trades whose work has encompassed imagery, videos, music, and writing. From taking pictures of nature as a child, Farrell's passion for photography became a career and evolved into portraiture after he moved to New York and graduated from Parsons School of Design. Over the years, Farrell has notably worked with David LaChapelle.Gregory Farrell: "Marcos and I flew to New York City and made it happen. The pre-production day felt heaven-sent; everything worked out for us. From finding the props to sourcing the 'Milkman' attire, it felt easy and magical. I've been photographing Amanda Lepore in nightlife over the years, but to have this opportunity to photograph her for such a crazy concept It felt out of this world. Since working with David LaChapelle and seeing his entire studio filled with images of his muse, it felt like a full circle moment to create artwork of my own with Amanda Lepore."Pedraza had a rather different journey leading up to his collaborations with Lepore and Farrell, starring in short films, and modeling in conceptual fashion shoots. Born in Havana, Cuba, he immigrated to Miami at seven years old, and he is now 27. Originally known for going viral with steamy pictures on X/Twitter (821,000 followers) and dancing videos on TikTok (1.3 million followers), he is now expanding his career through acting and modeling opportunities."It feels surreal sometimes," Pedraza says when asked how he's personally feeling about having such a breakout year in 2025. "Living in a digital realm where people try to view artwork as content, things get easily reviewed and dismissed. It takes a question like this for me to really reflect on the building blocks that are being laid out in front of me. As I look back on this past year, I'm so happy to be creating, growing, and evolving into new opportunities. I am making my dreams turn into reality."Pedraza is currently signed as a creator onto UltraViolet a platform that connects him to his audience and grows his personal brand through community. In our interview, Pedraza tells Out that he loves modeling and acting, and is therefore exploring "new developments" in those areas.Gregory Farrell: "There is something special about Marcos that separates him from other creatives. He has a mysterious, sexy, and confident presence. People are inspired by him. Marcos sets trends on TikTok and influences a lot of guys finding their way on the platform. He also creates his own lane by showcasing his talents with acting and modeling in these conceptual shoots. People should also stay tuned for what Marcos is cooking up in the music studio. It's fire!"Marcos Pedraza: "Greg is such a talented, creative individual. He pushes me to new boundaries and has helped me tap into my creative side. His work inspires me, and I know it inspires others, too. Greg always creates a safe, fun environment, which makes shooting that much more enjoyable. I always trust the visions and ideas that he brings me.""He is really relaxed and down to Earth. Really easy to work with," Lepore says about Pedraza.Pedraza's story isn't entirely foreign to Lepore. After all, she also took the unusual path of becoming a fixture in New York City nightlife in the 1990s and then built up her careers in modeling, acting, and music.Over the years, Lepore established herself even further through collaborations with David LaChapelle. She eventually became an NYC fixture who orbited at the intersection of nightlife, art, and fashion. Eventually, LaChapelle started referring to Lepore as his muse.Gregory Farrell: "I consider Marcos as my muse. He's down to earth and our dynamic is exciting. We're always laughing, and that's a great foundation to operate from. It's so cool to know that he trusts me with my ideas. This specific project pushed the limits of our creativity, and it definitely took some explaining as to why I needed him to become a milkman. [Laughs.] There is nothing that Marcos and I can't create together; this shoot is only the beginning of what is to yet to come."As Pedraza's online following continues to grow, it's worth noting that some of these new followers happen to be pretty famous people. But when asked if he's had any interactions with those celebrities that he'd be willing to share, Pedraza keeps it low-key.Marcos Pedraza: "Let's just say I've had a few, but I like to keep those moments private. Celebrities are normal people to me, like everybody else. The greener grass just comes with more allergies."Looking ahead, what would be Pedraza's ultimate dream job or career?Marcos Pedraza: "I want to be in a horror movie. I love film, especially horror classics. To be in something like that, in modern day, would be a dream come true."As one of the biggest pop culture icons of all time who's still as unstoppable as ever does Lepore have a message to share with the world?Amanda Lepore: "Be your true self. Do things that make yourself happy and confident. Support each other!"
