Speaking OUT: Queer Youth in Focus is a photographic essay that collectively explores a wide spectrum of experiences told from the perspective of a diverse group of youth ages 14 to 24 identifying as queer (i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning).  Portraits are presented without judgment and/or stereotype by eliminating environmental influence with a stark white backdrop.  This backdrop acts as a blank canvas to be filled with the each subject’s point of view handwritten onto the final print.  With more than 65 portraits photographed over a period of ten years beginning 2001, Speaking OUT provides a rare insight into the ever evolving passions, confusions, prejudices, fulfillment, joys, and sorrows voiced by queer youth.

I believe there is strength in numbers, power in words, and freedom in art and I strive to raise awareness with this work.
