Queer Life in Chicago
Hello friends, I am currently working to kick off a photo project centered around queer life in Chicago and would love to hear from you if you are potentially interested in participating. See additional information below in Q&A format:
Q: Why am I doing this?
A: As someone who appreciates photos and stories of queer life from other times and places, I think it is important to appreciate the significance of the existing communities surrounding us and to document them for the future.
Q: How would you participate?
A: By being photographed.
Q: Where would you be photographed and with who?
A: This is something we will workshop together. The main idea here is to capture a few slices of your life.
Q: Will this be published? If so, when/where?
A: I’d like to eventually put together a photo show/exhibition and also a photo book. This is intended to be a longer-term project and might remain ongoing for 1-3 years, with any publication potentially taking even longer. Truthfully, this is my first long-term photo project so I will be learning and re-strategizing as I go. Long way of saying- I’m not sure yet.
Q: Will you be compensated?
A: No, this would be entirely voluntary.
If you remain interested, please fill out and submit the form below. Thank you!
