Queer Images: Photographs of LGBTQ Americans

Although LBGTQ people currently experience unprecedented
visibility in American media and popular
culture, those representations depict flattened images
that reduce complex individuals into simplified and
limited categories of identity. I created this documentary
to blur and shatter the boundaries currently restraining
the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and
queer communities through the production of theoretically
informed photographic images. These pictures
form a response to pop culture tropes and misinterpretations
of the LGBTQ community. In totality, I
intend to pluralize and complicate notions of identity
and bodies.
